Thats the same group that runs the GM Heritage collection. The latest word, as per NCM emails last night is, The GM will be taking over the restoration of the vehicles. The early (as still in the hole early) feeling is that a complete resto can be accomplished on all of them. If not, they will be displayed as "survivors cars" with the history of the collapse. You can bet at least one will be part of a Sinkhole Collapse exhibit.

the "survivors" idea is dumb. Repair them.

Ya.....I was trying to figure out what "survivors" was......I was thinking they just pull them out of the hole and set them on display calling them a survivor but then thought that would be sooooooooo stupid.....I got a photo if you want to see what a totaled 1990 Corvette looks like.........it is NOT fun to look at

Then on local news of the disaster (CA News and NOT SD News) the News guys and gals thought it was funny that such toys fell into a hole in the ground

Perhaps its not personal enough to them. People sometimes think another's problem is funny. Not everyone on this planet is intelligent enough to understand what just happened there. Perhaps one day they will get it. Thankfully the museum and cars can be recovered and possibly restored.
CA is one quake away from something like this only on a grander scale. I remember the last quake and resulting damage. I left one month before the disaster and was on the embarcadero hiway that I think pancaked cars and the lower ramp etc. I didn't think it was funny.
