To quote a favored golf term, the National Corvette Museum wants to get in the hole—and extract the Vettes swallowed up by a sinkhole last month. After working to stabilize the wing of the museum that suffered the massive floor collapse, the museum and construction teams will finally be able to bring in the necessary equipment for snatching the eight lost Corvettes from the depths.

First up? The three Corvettes that are actually visible—a '62, a '93 40th Anniversary coupe, and the 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil—which are expected to be freed from their hole by Wednesday via operation "Corvette Plus." That's a fairly quick turnaround—and a sort-of dopey operation name—but as museum staff points out, things are pretty fluid at this point. And they'll get more fluid: three Corvettes aren't visible, so there's no telling how tricky their extraction will be—or what state they'll be in. GM will restore all eight sinkhole Corvettes, but not before the museum puts them on display for a short while. Is it just us, or is this one of the most bizarrely entrancing treasure hunts ever?
