I found this an interesting read. I'd like to eventually enter my car in one of these shows to see just how "original" it is !! I'm certain it's damn close, but it be cool to see what they find ~

The Vettefest is cool. Bloomington and NCRS offer stuff like it too.
You can try a search here and you'll find out a ton of info.
The NCRS is kind of the bible of original stuff.

I think you're better off finding a very good local judge FIRST, BEFORE going to one of these "type" shows. I've been going since 1990 to Bloomington, Chicago VetteFest & many NCRS shows. Unless you have a true low mile very untouched "Survivor" type car, I see more people come away from these shows more disappointed than happy. Many times a Corvette owner takes his/her car there because "they" were told by someone, previous owner, etc., that this car is original this, original that, blah, blah, blah and when it gets subjected to this type judging, many times they come away very "unhappy". This is not always the case, but I've witnessed it first hand more times than I care to remember. JMHO

I'm pretty comfortable with the history of my vette. Plus I didnt pay a Barret Jackson price for it.

Just in looking through that list, I got more comfortable rather than less comfortable.
