----Most of the 20 67 L88's produced have had various parts of their drivetrain replaced if not all. Some of those have had that and major body restoration as well. The yellow coupe, we have heard, had a substantial amount of bodywork. What is more important? To me, and I stress, only me, the drivetrain is paramount along with the bullet proof paperwork. How many COPO and ZL1 Camaro's have had major body replacement and gone on to be considered very valuable? I'm pretty sure that some know the story here as it's no big secret, but that's no reason to consider this great Corvette any less than massively collectable. Said my piece......Bill S

Mike said he wanted to sign this L88 up for our Frisco NCRS Regional in 2019 and I was thrilled. We made sure there were no issues from a judging standpoint and the car did very well at that event. It really was an honor to have it presented for judging at our Texas Chapter event.

2 things
Sounds like a very clever way to not tell you it is a rebody. I would rather have a car like this than a re stamp. Great paperwork

Why does the car not have any NCRS top flight awards?

It has lots of Top Flight awards. To get the Duntov award you need a 97.0 twice, once at Nationals.

The description shows no top flights? If it had the Duntov award, it should be the first thing listed

Top Flight 10-25-18
Performance Verification 4-11-19
Top Flight 7-18-19
Duntov 7-18-19
The Duntov Award is an accumulation of the prior three awards.
