The Call
We were called by a gentleman on the East Coast of the US asking our availability to inspect a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette in the St Louis area. Immediately this gentleman was upfront about the car and what he was looking for in this vehicle to be. He said that this vehicle was being offered for sale and advertised as a #1 in near excellent condition but with an older restoration. He also stated that this car had previously been awarded “multiple awards” through the NCRS but was not specific about which awards at the time but thought it might of been a Triple Crown Award Recipient. He had proof of the awards and restoration but wanted an independent opinion on the cars condition at the current point in time since the restoration was now 20 years old.
He wasn’t kidding I looked up the car online through the NRCS. This car has a long list of being a top award winnings including Triple Crown Award, Gold Spinner Award, The National Corvette Certification Board Bloomington Gold Certificate, National Corvette Society (NCRS) Top Flight Award, the NRCS Duntov Mark of Excellence Award and even the NRCS Performance Verification Award.
