NCRS NJ Regional -- Photos

[MosportGreen66]

Had a great weekend with the Corvette in Edison, NY at the regional meet. Scored an approximate 98.5 Top Flight. Met some GREAT Corvette owners and learned a great deal. Was a good showing of all body styles, however, the survivor cars were in full force. The lighting in the venue was horrible and just about every body shot was blurry so I ended up with a giant collection of engine compartment photos. I will try my best to explain.

enjoy.

1971 LS6, 10k original miles, unrestored! Owner was a really nice guy.







1970 LT1 Coupe. Stunning Top Flight Restoration on great colors.






1969 L88 Coupe. 1 of 2 in the color combination (according to owner). 1 of 2 L88s at the show but the other car was was a '69 Maroon Coupe and coupled with the poor lighting, no pictures were of high quality.

1966 Corvette L72, 425hp. Nice restoration, Top Flight.





1967 427/400 tri-power, 14k original miles. This car was pulled from the garage 1 year ago. No body shots because of lighting but the car was original paint, Goodwood/White, side pipes. This car had ignition trouble from day 1 and went to Motion Performance for some tuning. I have a picture of the receipt from MP but I will not post it. PM me if you want to see it.

'67s got Judged on Friday. I left my camera in the hotel room that afternoon and did not get any good shots. A buddy of mine scored a 97 Top Flight on his yellow/black 435 L71 Coupe, a stunning red/black 435 convert Top Flighted too!

A lot of restamped engine pads were uncovered and a lot of surprised Corvette owners went home unhappy. From what I understand -- 45 mini-points equals 1 full point. However, admitting the motor is not original and leaving the wrong characters on the engine pad -- not stamping the pad -- is ONLY a 25 mini point deduction (less than 1 full point). If a judge discovers a restamped engine pad, you CANNOT recieve a Top Flight. This is over a 6 full point deduction.



1966 L72 Covertible. Most say this is the best unrestored '66 Big Block convert in the country. Pulled from a Queens, NY garage 3 years ago. Bloomington Gold, Suvivor, Special Collection, Top Flight, and going for a 4 Star Bowtie. This car in untouched in every way. I have over 50 photos of the car if anyone needs more shots let me know. The owner is a sweatheart of a guy who loves to share information on the car!



























Thats all for now... enjoy.

Dan, nice engine shots!

I noticed that the unrestored LS-6 and the L-88 both had
natural colored engine lift hooks. They're usually done
in orange. Do you know if the LS-6 intake was ever taken
off or freshened-up?

Also, the '66 L/72 ( again unrestored ) looked great. I
espacially liked the amount of overspray remaining on the
exhaust manifolds.

BTW, I'd like to see more of the '66 L/72 engine shots if
you have them.

Steve, I wish I could give you an answer but I cannot. I would imagine the LS6 has never had a freshening, but that is a guess. As for the L88, it is a frame off restoration car so I would imagine the intake ans related parts have been restored.

The '66 L72 unrestored car is something else. I will scrap together some more pictures.

First off... a correction: The show was in Edison, NJ... NOT Edison, NY. Sorry guys, long weekend.

Here are some additional pictures...

the interior and some detail shots of that '69 L89.






I did not know in '71 the LS6 came with orange valve covers...



Look at the original imperfections in the orange valve cover paint of the 14k original mile 400hp/tri power '67!





More from the 25k mile original paint '66 L72 convert.
