Chevy Vette Fest and unrestored cars

[napa68]

Is Chev V-F doing anything to promote unrestored cars. I am not to familiar with the group. Any input would be appreciated. I have an unrestored 65 Corvette I have considered showing.

Thanks,

Tim

Yes, but I'll let Mr. Ashton provide the details.

Although we don't have classes specific to unrestored cars, we do welcome them.

Nice, unmolested unrestored cars will do well in our Gold Spinner Concours classes. Judging criteria is based on how the car left the factory and points are deducted for deviations from stock.

Condition of the car overall is taken into consideration.

Another alternative is to come in as Non Comp/Display Only with no judging, as many of our Showcase participants do.

Rough unrestored cars are considered on an individual basis.

It doesn't necessarily have to be shiny to be welcome at the show. Unrestored originals are very well received.

As many of you remember, The "Camouflaged Soldier" unrestored original 1969 L88 Corvette was on display in one of what I call the "Hot Spots", right up front at the main entrance. For more info on this particular car, go to www.nickeychicago.net

So how about bringing your 65 Corvette for Display Only/Non Comp? We would love to see it!

We take our Judging very seriously at Chevy Vettefest. We are investigating this aspect of the hobby and if we are able to establish an appropriate judging format, this could be something added to the show in the future.

Thanks;

I am interested in showing the car. At this point, I may have a schedule conflict for this fall. The car is a 65 Corvette Coupe fuel injected with 53,000 miles. Red with black and white interior. This is an NCRS 5 star Bowtie car that has not really been shown in some time. I would like to get the car some current exposure. It is my understanding this may have been a recent Nickey car. If you have interest, I will see what I can do about scheduling.

Thanks,
Tim

What connection to Nickey is your car supposed to have?

[napa68]

to my understanding...they had it for sale a while ago.
That's all. Sorry if that sounded misleading.

Tim,
Did you just purchase the car from the Bloomington Gold Auction this past Summer?

Sounds like the ex-Roy Sinor car? He also owned the Survivor blue 65 Fuelie coupe. Cool cars!

Bring it to VF, Tim.
