Meaning of "numbrs matching" opinions please

Corvette? Ah come on! What about Ben's nova?

If there is an NCRS event near where you live, attend and watch. It's fun.

Bloomington Gold is the company who has the patent on "Survivor".
They are a for profit operation, because of this, their popularity has declined a bit recently.
Bloomington Gold's new owner- Dana Mecum, wants to protect his interests, and he is mostly interested in selling cars.

The way that NCRS does the numbers thing, has taken away a lot of the importance of the actual stamp pad.
A good thing really...
It is nice to have your original engine, but you can still do very well in NCRS judging without it.

At Carlisle last year, I saw a car for sale - no motor/no trans, had a sign calling it "matching numbers"
When I asked the seller? He said simply with a straight face:
"the VIN number, matches the title"

It has become such a generic term these days,
that it really does not mean a thing anymore.

Exactly my point! and even worse - it means the red flag is up on any car using that term (as far as I'm concerned).

Benjamin's Nova is in process, he helped paint the rear and the underside of it - I'll post pics when I get them back! I would like to own a '63 SWC, silver with blue or black interior, preferably FI. Charley's barn find was the ultimate - but.... someday

I owned one Corvette where the only numbers that matched were the front and rear license plate.

The meaning of matching numbers should never have had to change or "evolve" in the first place. To some it did change (for personal reasons), and to others it did not.
