Wonder why it hasn’t sold?

If this were a Bowtie candidate, it would have sold in seconds at that price. A friend emailed me in May on this car. He passed.

It is rigorous and exhausting. The judging can take several hours. If the car scores well in any specific of the above but not all areas, it is awarded a "Star Award" in that specific area. If a Corvette is preserved and educational enough to achieve an award in all four areas, then it is considered to be a "Bowtie" car. A Corvette can only go to Bowtie/Star judging once. Prerequisite is a Flight judging experience at a Regional event or National event where all judges must make an endorsement for the car to continue on for Bowtie/Star. Judging sheets are not provided to the owner. Judging happens at National events only. There are many exceptional survivor Corvettes that cannot pass Bowtie judging. This LT1 maybe one of them. Dan

And as Dan said, after judges scrutiny, the judges from all areas and the team leader as a group must further determine that the Corvette is of historical and educational value. IIRC, a total of about 325 Corvettes of all model years from 1953 to 1982 have achieved Bowtie. Also, if changes/repairs are done the Bowtie award can be forfeited. Bill W |
