Should they restore these cars ?

[71-SS350]

I know I'm a real "newbie" here on the board but to me it makes no sense other than perhaps the $$ signs in the eyes of the Corvette Museum powers that be to decide NOT to restore these cars. Possibly in the "now" time frame a lot of people with a morbid curiosity to see the "sinkhole Corvettes" would want to see them in their present ruined condtion. Jump to a "later" time frame, perhaps 20-25 years and what would the curiosity value be then, nil, in my mind. Liken that to finding a trashed out 1970 LS6 M-21 coupe in a salvage yard or hedge row, buy it and not restore it so that you could show it in it's present rusted, broken, trashed out state. Makes no sense to me at all. I thought that bringing these machines back from the dead is why we do what we do. Just my .02 cents for whatever that's worth.
