From a value standpoint, does NCRS Certification substantially help?

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

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.

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.
