Default Re: Ebay POP

I don't pretend to know anything about NCRS. I do, however, have a car buddy who was very involved with them years ago with his 62 fuelie car and his 65 396/425 car. He eventually bacame disgusted with the entire process, sold his 'Vettes, and now messes with 409 big cars.

We were at his place driking beer one night, and the conversation turned to 'Vettes. He said "You know, I think there may be more NCRS gold 435 horse cars than Chevrolet built in the fiirst place." Whether that's accurate or just the beer talking. I don't know. But I know there had to be something questionable there for him to give up on those cars entirely. I don't know, that's all conjecture, so take it for what it's worth.

Your friend is certainly entitled to his opinion. I do have first hand knowledge of NCRS and I would love to talk to him and invite him back. The folks in the 67 class are among the most well informed enthusiasts in the country and I would defend them all.

Please ask your friend to call me if he has any questions or concerns.

PS-There is no such thing as a Gold NCRS 435 in as much as 'Gold' is associated with Bloomington and 'Top Flight' is an NCRS award.

I'm sure he still knows people in that world, but I'll pass your number on next time I see him. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Edit: He may have said Top Flight. This conversation occured several years ago, and I was half in the bag.
