In the world of Corvettes, the market for real deal survivors is scalding hot, particularly cars with NCRS Bowtie Awards. It is the most stringent survivor award to achieve where the car is judged in 4 categories - interior, exterior, chassis and mechanical. The car must be 80% or better by what is considered untouched, unaltered, unmolested. These are are incredible machines that have had near no deviation from stock since new. Common changes include wear/tear items like hoses, battery, tires but that is really it. Taking the car apart to fix leaks, gaskets, broken parts, etc is not allowed and cars found to have significant alteration will not qualify. Additionally, cars with paint work, fluffing, or enhancing the originality is frowned upon. The cars can achieve 1, 2, 3, or 4 stars and if it meets the 4 star criteria the year team will meet to determine if the car can meet educational value standards - if so, the following year @ the NCRS National Event only, the car be awarded the coveted 5th star. Very few cars have achieved the 5th star mark. It is the hardest award mark in all levels of judging across all makes, models, etc.
