Chevrolet has announced it plans on restoring the vehicles destroyed by a giant sinkhole beneath the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky, according to a report by the Associated Press.
General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., will work on repairing the eight vehicles once they have been pulled out of the sinkhole, according to the automaker.
On Feb. 12, the vehicles were swallowed by the sinkhole when one opened underneath a display area when the Bowling Green, K.Y. museum.
No injuries were reported by police due to the museum being closed.
The museum was open for business the following day, besides the area where the sinkhole opened up.
Mark Reuss, GM's head of global product development, confirmed that the vehicles are "some of the most significant in automotive history."
"There can only be one 1-millionth Corvette ever built," Reuss said, according to AP. "We want to ensure as many of the damaged cars are restored as possible so fans from around the world can enjoy them."
A local fire department estimated the hole was around 40 feet across and 30 feet deep.
Museum executive director Wendell Strode said they expect most of the vehicles will be able to be retrieved however.
"We feel pretty confident that most of the cars can be extracted," Strode said Thursday. "And we hope and believe that with just a little bit of luck, that all eight cars can be extracted and be part of the restoration."
It will probably take 2-4 weeks for the vehicle's to be removed, according to Strode.
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.
The museum expects to have structural repairs completed in time for the museum's Corvette Caravan in late August, a celebration marking the museum's 20th anniversary.
