Corvette 95,
I am about to have my 1957 judged for the final time in an attempt to receive the Duntov Award of Excellence. It is a hard road to travel, but when you have finished, the value of the Corvette is at it's peak. Buyers look for NCRS judging awards and Bloomington Gold awards. Bloomington has not accepted Corvettes that are less than 25 years old. I just purchased a 93 Ruby ZR with 16,000 miles. The car is absolutly original and looks showroom fresh. The man I bought the car from was a fanatic about keeping and storing the car in a plastic shield. Now for NCRS judging of the ZR-1 Corvettes. The requirements are simple in design. The Corvette must look and function as it did the day it come off the showroom floor, with normal dealer prep. All parts that have a number visible, engine, Oil Filter, Battery, and all such items will be judged for originalty and condition. Every lable is judged. There is 5 sections that are judged. Operations (everything must work), exterior, interior, mechanical, and chassis. This year(2006) NCRS accepted 90 and 91 Corvettes for judging. Oh by the way, I am an NCRS judge, and the fellow(RickyRj1) who posted "NCRS Judges take payoffs" I beleive is living in Na Na land. We do this for nothing, which includes our own plane fare, lodging, and food, when we go to a judging meet. Back to your question. The first thing you need to do is contact and join an NCRS chapter in your area. I know there is a Southeast Chapter and can be reached at (770) 338-2806. After you join the Chapter, you then become eligible to join the National Chapter of NCRS (NCRS.com). You then purchase the NCRS Technicle Information Manual & Judging Guide. This will walk you thru every area that will be judged. My advise to you is, if you want to start down this road be prepared to spend some dollars. The older the Corvette the more expensive it will be. The ZR-1 will be the L-88 or L-89 when it is a few years older. Remember the big block cars started out and 5,000 to 6,000 not long ago. Now look at their value. The ZR-s and the ZO-6's are going to be just like those corvettes. If you need any additional info just e-mail me.
