WOW! What a mess!! I wonder how many of these will be restored and of the ones not restored, will they be junk or still be a museum piece with an explanation of it being the remains from the sink hole incident!

Here's video of the actual recovery of the 1 Millionth. The 1 Mil was not scheduled to be recovered this early but after the 62 was removed it was found that the car was just barely lodged in place above an even deeper cavern and that it could easily become dislodged at any moment and fall deeper. Because of that, the decision was made to try for it earlier than planned and their first shot was successful. PPG was not scheduled this early either but it was visible after the 1 Mil removal.
The plan is to now remove areas of cantilevering concrete/floor, stabilize the sinkhole walls and the foundation below the red spire. Once that is done, the remaining debris and 3 cars can be removed: the 1.5 Millionth, Mallet Hammer, and ASC ZR-1 Spyder.

Spyder is baaaack, pulled from the dirt March 31st and lifted out of the hole April 1st. Probably my favorite of these 8 cars; too bad it's a little messed up.

Good question, haha.
Some red of the Mallet Hammer was found today so I image that one is soon to follow.

Lastly, the Mallet Hammer Z06. The last car to be removed, if you still want to call it a car. The chassis basically got shredded apart from the body when they lifted it.
