Officials have confirmed it could take "weeks" before General Motors can pull out eight Corvettes that were swallowed by a sinkhole beneath Kentucky museum, according to a report by Reuters.
The Corvettes, which included the millionth Corvette manufactured in 1992, dropped around 30 feet on Feb. 12 at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. No injuries were reported however.
Some of the vehicles, like the 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil" landed on its wheels, and are still in decent shape despite the sinkhole, according to Chevrolet spokesman Monte Doran, who spoke with Reuters.
Most of the vehicles are still covered in rubble, which makes it tough to determine the estimated damage done to the vehicles.
GM says it wants to try restoring as many of the vehicles as possible, according to Mark Reuss, executive vice president of GM Global Product Development.
The museum reopened on Feb. 13, though the Skydome, where the sinkhole opened, is still blocked off.
It could take around three weeks to stabilize the area and make sure it is safe, and then an additional four to five days to pull out the Corvettes, according to Mike Murphy of Scott, Murphy & Daniel Construction.
A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," on loan from General Motors, were among the vehicles swallowed by the gaping pit.
The hole measured in at approximately 25 to 30 feet deep, and 40 feet wide, according to the Bowling Green Fire Department.
The White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1962 Black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette were all damaged, according to Reuters.
GM builds Corvettes at a production plant near the National Corvette Museum.
