John 65. Is a red ribbon is a 3rd flight?? I think it is. And what I see there is only condition issues. Which is almost half of NCRS judging criteria. As a originally stand point I'm sure that car has all the major parts on it that it was born with. It just hasn't aged very well.

Not really NCRS does not judge paper work. They only ask to see if it's there. All that could have come from a Vega and still got credit

Sorry, I really dont know what third flight is, as I am not a member, but yes it was in poor shape.

John65, I agree factory paperwork is worth more for value than anything.

That's what resold the car more than anything else.
Even had the original window sticker. I guess points are points no matter how rough the car.

Original motor and factory docs and paperwork add more value than any ribbon could.

In order for the hobby to survive in it's purest form, there will always need to be the Garage/Trailer Queen section. I think we all have an appreciation for these cars whenever we are afforded the sometimes rare opportunity to see them in the light of day.
Just to clarify, Top Flight does not necessarily mean trailer queen. I drive my Top Flight 68 as much as I can, typically once a week to work and its pretty much the only car I drive on the weekends, bias ply tires and all!

Well I guess they're exceptions to every rule. I don't know too many guys where I live that spend $500+ on air cleaner bolts and then risk getting they're tires dirty.

I'm not an NCRS "stitch counter" type... BUT... Being judged highly to me would be a good indicator that there isn't going to be a lot of the problems you might find in a car... like surely one with rust issues isn't going to get a very high score from NCRS.

But all that said... any car that is "Top Flyte" type judged... probably out of my price range.
