Default Re: 1967 Corvette L71 435 Roadster -BG BENCHMARK C
I am trying to learn more about the Benchmark award. Is it common for a Vette to be awarded a Benchmark award with reproduction tires which is what appears to be on this incredible Vette? Its a big deal in Ford world I was wondering how the Vette guys handle it? I always thought the MCA requirement of date code correct tires for a Thoroughbred gold was unrealistic and virtually rendered a car to be like furniture. I think for a Benchmark the cars have to be able to drive 40 miles so date code correct tires might be a problem? Just curious.
