Amazing original unrestored car in excellent condition other than the exception of aging with NO HIT body and all original bonding strips. Shown/exhibited at NCRS Chapter, Regional, and National meets seven times, Bloomington Gold certified and Bloomington Survivor certified. THIS IS THE SINGLE CAR THAT PROMPTED NCRS CHAIRMAN, DENNIS CLARK (WITH HELP) TO FINALLY DEVELOP THE NCRS CHEVROLET BOWTIE/STAR JUDGING PROGRAM FOR UNRESTORED CARS! Only 383 Corvettes have achieved this prestigious award and this car was probably the first!! These original unmolested cars are among the rarest of rare and are rising to the top of the Corvette food chain as unrestored cars are used as guideposts for restorers, shining a light on the way vehicles were originally built and represent the standards which historians, judges, and future restorers can use to determine factory authenticity. The solid feel of an excellent unrestored car cannot be overstated!… This is a great car for a purist connoisseur.
