Out of all of the cars damaged this is the one that they REALLY have their work cut out to repair. Darn near the entire body was all custom one-off panels.

We are probably looking at years to accomplish these restorations. I'm thinking GM will only work on these cars on a part time bases.

I think they should just clean them up and put them in "The sink hole" Display.

Just my opinion but that car didn't look much better before it fell in the hole.
It reminds me of the 4th gen firebird design.

I read somewhere that they will be displayed as-is until late summer.

Obviously not a true C4 lover, almost sounds like a C4 basher..

From a distance an early C4 does look like an 80's Firebird from the front.

I'm probably going to take a trip out there next Friday to take pictures of the cars.

This is true but the original statement that it doesn't look much better before it fell in the hole sounds like a typical basher..
