Re: ZR-1 NCRS Top Flights
 

WVZR1 you are correct, there is a big difference between local, Regional and National. To get out highest Award the McLelland or Hill you must score a 97% or better at a Regional, and pass a Performance Verification. Then take it to the National and score a 97 or better again. Our ZR1s with every option must pass every line item the same as a 1953 with hardly any options. That's why I consider them the hardest Awards to Achieve in the hobby.

Re: ZR-1 NCRS Top Flights
 

That's right, PVs and McLellans are hard to get.
Maybe I should revise my question: how many ZR-1s
have recieved these awards?
I'll bet the answer's the same, "we don't give out
that information"
Gonna ask again at the National in RI next month... ;)

We will only have two ZR1s for Flight judging and one for his 5th star Crossflags Award in Warwick.

Re: ZR-1 NCRS Top Flights
 

The car I recently bought has Top Flight in PA and CO done in '08. It also had the PV done in PA at the same time then went to Bloomington and then into storage. Less that 3k mi since then and looks brand new. Would it be worth it for me to go for anything else with it?

What's left to prove? Why spend the $ to prove what
you already know?
Sounds like a nice car!
Get out there and drive it! But take good care of it.
Top Flights etc don't improve the value much if at all. With the
state that values are in now, get out there and enjoy it!
Why save it for the next guy, who'll probably beat it to death?

Re: ZR-1 NCRS Top Flights
 

A PV and a 97% is only good for 3 years. You would need to have it redone to get the highest Award. It is fun to do you meet great people and learn a lot about your ZR1.

Re: ZR-1 NCRS Top Flights
 

My car had a top flight certificate that came with the car from the previous owner when I bought it. I did a mild restoration on it, fixed everything, spent about $5k, now it no longer qualifies as a top flight but it sure runs better. I am undecided on the whole top flight thing, I have seen some top flight cars that look horrible but get the award. I can't see keeping something original if it looks bad and doesn't run optimally.
