The one interesting car (once you remove the pacecar lights) is probably one of the ones that will never be seen again as its burried. That would be the 1984 PPG Corvette.

Here is all of the cars not completely burried:

Video of the initial formation:

The ZR1 on loan from GM probably won't drive straight after the fall but I am sure it might be saved. The 93 upside down is a 40th anniversarry edition that is otherwise not special and was a donation... probably not worth repairing. The 62 that was sitting under it looks in decent shape but will need a total restoration and as for the 1 millionth vette built that looks a mess...

Here are pics of the corvettes that until further notice are probably lost forever. The '84 PPG:

1993 ZR-1 Spyder:

Which is buried upside down behind the ZR1 Prototype:

A 2001 Corvette converted to a Mallet Cars "Hammer":

Finally I see the 1.5 Millionth Vette no where as well as it appears the 1 Million did fall further chances are if they save any cars it won't be on the list:
