Least they're going to fill the hole in.

I think the pictures, videos, and damaged cars will clearly capture for the viewing public the damage that occured. Having the musuem restored to its former condition feels right. I doubt the "draw factor" of the sinkhole would sustain itself after several years anyway as most people that wanted to see it already would have. Its sad to see that the ZR-1 Spider and others won't be restored.

What a shame. I have offered to restore the car back to its glory and even had a discussion with a NCM person at Carlisle. I still intend to follow up. It needs to live.

I agree. Put the three cars that are past restoration back in the pit and create a shrine to them.

Why bury them. Warehouse them for occasional display. $$$$$ to be made!

Hope Blue Flame gets there car to restore. The problem may be that GM owns that car and you will be dealing with a massive organization which will likely make irrational decisions!

What the NCM / GM does not understand is the determination of the entire ZR-1 community to have the Spyder live. Brett is more than capable, and this project would have the full support and backing of the the rest of us. What a Win-Win this would be for both the NCM and GM.

We may need to get the NCM / GM to donate what is left of the Spyder to the ZR-1 Net Registry and allow us to see this through. What do they have to lose?

Then the Club could loan it back to the NCM for a permanent display with a plaque that reads "On loan from the ZR-1 Net Registry - Restored by Brett Henderson of Blue Flame Restorations".
