In the context of what was actually lost, I agree.... The 62 was sad to see down there, but probably replaceable. I do expect it would not be easy to replace many of them as they were on loan from GM, and were basically brand new cars.
There is stuff in that museum that is truly irreplaceable, even if not that desirable to most... The only remaining 83 model in existence almost landed down there, but they were able to save it.
Listen to that baby wind down, essentially a giant turbocharger:

The black ZR1 Spyder would have value simply because it is a one off item, although the fact that it would never be able to be registered due to the VIN number means that it's limited to a collectible piece. Still, obviously super rare even if it can't be registered. That 62 can probably be recovered though. I'd say that the Mallet Hammer one probably has quite a bit of value. And I would guess that the Blue Devil ZR1 would as well as a collectible, although it is a modified version of the previous platform, not a true ZR1.
I believe the only two owned by GM were the ZR1s, think the Museum owned the others.
Ouch... Don't see that every day. Was it an OE spring or aftermarket?
