If you think 84 out of a total scale of 100 (after being converted from the multiple judging sheets and their individual scales) is “so low” I’m not really sure what to say

You are correct the 83.8% was after that 4500 point scale was converted to a 100 point scale. It scored a 3772 out of 4500.

Most people "ease" into the C2 arena - you are starting out near the top!
Stunning car...

Thanks....I enjoy them equally in different ways. One is a athletic, toned super super model with lots of great conversation ability and the other is a gorgeous pin up model that isn’t too bright but lots of fun to hang out with. Both amazing depending on the mood your in

'65s are the best of the C2s.

As an owner of a 65 SB coupe and a 65 BB roadster, I couldn't agree more.

Great looking car! Congratulations, you did fine no matter what the NCRS judging score. I went the opposite route, going from a Top Flight C2 to a C7 and loving every minute.

Gorgeous car, congrats! 5 speed and Vintage Air are the perfect upgrades.

Some people just can’t help themselves but to tell you what’s “wrong” with your car...

Glad someone kept in such perfect condition for you, now you get to drive it!

It looks like there is one spring on the carb, for safety reasons you need two. Also check the date code on your tires. If your tires are 10 years old I would get new ones. Redlines would look great on your car.
