They always need work, even a 1,400 mile chassis. It was in a garage in Iowa for most of its life and the different temperatures and humidity created some surface rust. Light cleaning is making it look great.

I probably signed off on the Benchmark certificate at Bloomington for that car. It's gorgeous!

Tim,

Not sure how I missed this thread. Car looks great and love the color. Can't beat the miles and originality. The LT1's run great. Cannot wait to see it on the show field!

Best,
Dave

Here's the Benchmark Certificate. I had this in my files with the owner and VIN blacked out. I'm not really worried about the VIN being known, this was from the prior owner.
It also received the "Low Mile Award" at Bloomington.
This is the only time the car has been shown in 50 years. I'd like to get it to the Frisco NCRS Regional and MCCAN.

----Looking at that Benchmark award I realized that Jan and I were still working for BG doing all the T-shirts, hats, patches, etc.! we did that for 20 years. We were always so busy that I never got a chance to see much of the rest of the show. Not surprised that I didn't see this beautiful LT1. It will be a treat to visit this year and just have fun!.....Bill S
