Is anyone good with photoshop? If you can provide me with a new logo I'll replace the C5 at the top.

This is your chance to get your own car in the logo.

Too bad I don't have a digital camera. There are two LT1 coupes at my buddy's house, a '70 and a '71. Both are in the middle of getting body-off restorations. One ('70) is a rare, one-of-eight built car, if that means anything to anyone. Sure would make a nice pic for a logo...

Picture of a car is too obvious. How about someone scanning a Top Flight certificate for their car and using that?

Yes, I am afraid that is correct, Troy. "Top Flight" is copyrighted by the NCRS.

2Many...You've piqued my curiosity with the "one of eight built" remark. How has your friend determined he has one of only eight built?

My curiosity was going as well. My friend said it had to do with a small block car with big block running gear -- radiator, clutch, rear, etc. He said the engine is coded for it, too. It's an LT1 engine. I think the idea was to beef the car up for racing. I think the code for it was ZR1 or ZL1, not sure. It's a red coupe.
