Vintage Certification @ MCACN 2015

[Steve Shauger]

Vintage Certification is again proud and excited to be a part of the MCACN experience. This is a must attend event. Come Join Us and have your car Vintage Certified at MCACN Nov 21st & 22nd in Chicago

Vintage Certification™ is a judging program whose sole purpose is to recognize, provide status, provenance, and promote un-restored (survivor) vehicles. We believe it is the only program that focuses on documenting and benchmarking these cars. Our core certification team consists of Brett Merryman, Chris White, Alex Sahely, Frank Badalson, Roger Gibson, Steve Shauger and other marque specialists based on make and model. Each core team member possesses over 30 years experience as restorers, collectors, historians and judges in the hobby. Typically we spend 3hrs examining in detail every segment of your car including on a lift. To learn more about Vintage Certification visit our website at www.vintagecertification.com or the MCACN show at www.mcacn.com. This is the perfect venue to have your vehicle certified. You will be among and exclusive group of enthusiast who participate in this exciting event.

We understand not every original car is 100% untouched, and we offer five levels of certification, based on the originality of the Vehicle.
Vintage Certifications™ five divisions:

Vintage Time Capsule - Vehicles that are 95+% unrestored in all reference areas
Vintage Legend - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in all reference areas.
Vintage Heritage - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in four reference areas.
Vintage Legacy - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in three reference areas
Vintage Reference - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in at least one reference area.

Reference Areas: Certification consists of two areas of consideration, Originality and Preservation. Reference areas are as follows:

• Engine Compartment Area
• Exterior Body
• Interior Body
• Underbody
• Trunk (except Corvette)

I have to say that this years Vintage lineup for both certification and non judged display is one of the most diversified and interesting to date. Thanks to all of you who made the commitment to join us, and also to our Vintage Certification judging team for allowing us to once again, raise the bar.

For those of you who were too late, please sign up now for 2016, as we will certainly sell out well in advance again, and in order to maintain our judging standards, we must limit the amount of vehicles judged.

Just to get everyone in the spirit I'll post a couple of cars joining us at MCACN to be Vintage Certified. An original owner 65 Impala L78

[mockingbird812]

Nice - would that have been factory rated at 425 HP like the Corvettes? Or, maybe that was '65?????

[Steve Shauger]

An amazing car, a virtually untouched 69 Camaro Z28

[Steve Shauger]

This is another well preserved 69 GTO Judge to be Vintage Certified.

The Vintage team will be very busy this year certifying cars, but having cars like these participate makes it truly a special and rewarding event. There's no other event where you will get an opportunity to see so many unrestored cars on display and being certified. The last picture I will post is a 1970 Superbird. It's truly special car, come see for yourself at MCACN....

Yes rated at 425hp.

So many reasons to join us this year, November 21-22.

There is nothing like seeing it in person and meeting the owners and the enthusiasts that allow us to make this show a reality.

Although it sometimes is hard to believe that what is actually under the roof of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is <span style="font-style: italic">really real </span>and right there in front of you.
