[SCG] [Corsabod] Factory Stock Corvair Entries and Stock Preservation Award history in CORSA Concours 1997-2009

[James & Lori]

This is a difficult issue.  As more and more NOS parts like trunk and engine
compartment seals for example get used up the finite supply will eventually
be used up.  

 

I am trying to find oil filters for a Canadian car right now and having no
luck.

 

I just purchased a Canadian '65 turbo convertible to finish, but it has been
painted a non-original colour.  It comes with a pile of NOS parts and new
parts to complete the restoration to factory stock.  I would love to
re-paint it, but can't afford to redo the body.  I will likely keep the
seals in reserve toward redoing the paint to original in the future.

 

Cheers,

Gentleman,

 

Attached is a summary of all cars entered into the two CORSA Concours
Factory Stock classes since the development of the Stock Preservation Award
in 1997.  Although we have had some great success with recent Factory Stock
Restored entries also winning the Mitchell Award, the fact remains that
participation in the Factory Stock Classes remains very low.  Please review
this information with an eye towards answering the question of what, if
anything, we can do to encourage and improve Factory Stock participation at
the Concours level.

 

Thank you

 

Bill Hubbell

President, Stock Corvair Group
