Apparently the geography of Kentucky is heavy with "Karst" which is a word meaning lots of underground caves.

There are three cars remaining in the hole as the original fall was eight cars and five have been pulled out last week.

I would be surprised if they can adequately restore all of the cars pulled out so far from looking at the damage so far.

There would likely be body parts available from junk yards for most of these cars as the very first Corvette is 1953 so parts can be had.

Car makers are overloaded with stored Concept cars and some early versions of manufactured models they can't legally allow to run on public streets. There is a recent article of Chrysler trying to reclaim a Viper with VIN# 4 they loaned to a college who wants to keep it. So this museum would provide a place to keep cars and allow people to donate last year's super model that cost $300,000.00 and they can take a tax donation and go buy a new one.

One of these Corvette's had a 600 something horsepower motor claimed to be the highest GM ever fitted to an automobile.
