Just looking at my new NCRS Driveline and Restorer issues for Jan-Feb 2019 states practice Judging commences April at the Queen City Regional Meet in Sharonville Ohio for the 2003 and 2004 cars. A new TIMJG manual is in the works that will be added to the existing 1997-1999 and 2000-2002 manuals already in print.
Being an original Owner of a 50th AE, this is a time I've been waiting for. A great way to learn more about my car will be to volunteer for a Judging assignment and purchase a manual when they become available. The best appraisal you'll ever get on a car whether you bought it or built it. This isn't for everybody, but if you want to know what you got, here you go. As for the modified cars, only 1953-1996 are eligible under the Concours Program. Truly some gorgeous high dollar builds are starting to show up. And unlike C-1's with no a/c, these can be driven on hot days in the summer.

It was only a matter of time before the full C5 model years became eligible for NCRS judging. This is good news for C5 owners who want to compete for NCRS certification.
