    Seven have been brought up, and an email from the museum today said they have located the last one--#8, Michael

      Local Bowling Green TV news last evening showed what looked like a left rear corner of the car. The rest of it is buried.

        They pulled part of the Mallett out of the hole yesterday (last car). Sad to say it is probably not restorable.

          With enough money you can restore anything.

            Have they ever posted pictures of them sitting out in a row after removal from the sinkhole?

                DW, Depends on how you defind the term restoring. #8 is not restoration material. Nothing left to restore. Not worth spending boo coo cash on. JD

                    Good story this morning on CNN on-line on the sinkhole cars, and the daunting task of restoration some of them face,

                      I see now that they're entertaining the idea of outside restorers to work on the cars. In talking with some fellow members I was lobbying for Tim Mickey to restore the 62, but we will see what happens. I agree that anywhere from 2-4 of them are good only as scrap display. Keep the Blue Devil, 62, and likely the 1 millionth.
