Neglected to mention, the car goes on a lift for the chassis category judging. While It is up the interior judges come by to look at the seat belt bolt threads for clues that the seat belts have ever been removed.

In the pic I posted, there is a gap between the center Stars. That is where the Fifth Star is placed, if you pursue it.

The process for the 5th star. Within two years of achieving the Bowtie, present the car for display at four NCRS events. Three of these can be a chapter event, but one must be a Regional. Then back to a National where the team leader (Nick C. in the case of a '67) will give it the once over to assure that nothing has been altered. Then your plaque is re-presented with the fifth star added.

Also, if at some point, there is restoration, modification, or repairs done that take the car below the 85% unmolested requisite, the Bowtie can be withdrawn.

FYI, The Bid Goes on @ $130,000. I could be bias, but I think it's worth more than that. All Corvette prices seem to be a little soft right now or is it me? I wonder what it's reserve was?
