For some collector car enthusiasts, the joy of the hobby is
in the restoration, maintenance and small details of their cars. Because of
this, such events such as NCRS meets have become so popular, they are an
opportunity for the enthusiasts to have their cars viewed and judged by the
experts for condition, quality and authenticity. The achievements of the cars
and their owners are seen in the many awards given out.
This beautiful Rally Red with black interior and black soft
top 1967 Corvette Roadster is a great showcase of the awards attainable by the
detail oriented enthusiast. The story of this small block roadster begins at
Barnes Chevrolet in SummitNew Jersey
where it was sold new. Equipped with power brakes, power steering, posi
traction axle with 3.36 ratio gears, it is still powered by a numbers matching
327/300hp engine with 4 speed transmission and features a matching auxiliary hard
top. Over the years with various owners, excellent records were kept in the
form of ownership slips, vehicle invoices, original protect-o-plate and
warranty card, and when the time came for some restoration work, the owner at
the time chose to have it completed with the intention of having the car
judged. Over the course of the following year, the owner and the car would be
rewarded with an NCRS Top Flight Award, Bloomington Gold Certification and Gold
Spinner Certificate from the Spinner Concourse making it Triple Crown
Certified. An achievement not easily attained, as is known by any vintage car
owner who has gone through the judging process. Since this incredible
accomplishment the car has been lovingly cared for and enjoyed as all Corvette
roadsters should. Seeing some use on the weekends turning heads and making
young enthusiasts in training point and smile. A beautiful, Triple Crown award
winning, documented Rally Red Corvette Roadster, perfect for the collector or
enthusiast to have and enjoy.
