NCRS' Worst Nighmare

[Rob]

For those of you that don't know, NCRS stands for National Corvette Restorers' Society. Formed in 1974, the National Corvette Restorers Society is a non-profit hobby group of 14,500+ families dedicated to the restoration, preservation, history and enjoyment of Corvettes made from the model years 1953 through 1982. They have established numerous benchmarks on what is and isn't considered to be original on a Corvette and their collective knowledge on older Corvettes is invaluable.

The NCRS has recently begun to look at including the 1984-1988 Corvettes as part of this group.

We recently found this Corvette at Corvettes at Carlisle that we were wondering how NCRS might classifiy. Any suggestions?

That car won my bonfire award. That is take the thing out back and light it on fire.

[secondchance]

Its his(or her) vette. And he(or she) can do whever he (or she) wants to. (tough to be politically correct:eek :()
Sing to the tune of old Connie Francis's song.:Twist

[warren s]

To each his or hers own, but there got to be limits...........

Atleast it doesnt have 4 inch fart pipes in the back

[c4ever]

I'm speechless.

[JimS]

I wish I could go on with my life not knowing this car exists. Spray paint anyone?

[DkBG]

It couldn't be easy to ---- a car up that much ! Cliff

[Piet]

Kinetic Sculpture? WOW....

I think everyone has a right to thier own style...
I, however, am more prone to black as opposed to... a technicolor cornucopia

But that's just me...

[c4ever]

Oh My G*D,

Please tell me that's not an 85:blow

[BBB454]

I think I've gone blind! :eek

To each his/her own, but why use a Vette for that, um, creation? I think a Pinto would have been much better...

Barb :w

[68 Roadster]

I never put down other people's rides but I have to admit I was
completely stunned when I saw that pic.
I wonder if he gets many babes with that car :_rock

[Guy]

This guy got a round of applause with cheers as he drove out of Gate 3 Friday evening. Maybe everyone though he was leaving for good:D. My co-worker John (Silver-eagle) tried to describe an odd car he saw on his way back from the NCM this spring - THIS was the same car!

Guy - I need to lay down now:D.

[Rob]

I heard him tell a friend the day I took the pictures that he was all excited because he actually got people to donate $30.00 on Friday to his "Donations for Gas" pan that was sitting on the rear deck of the car.

[vmrod]

horrible!

[Lord of the Flies]

I was there. I saw it. I'm still recovering.

[biurato]

This was my first trip to Carlisle, a true blast! This Vette was picked by a radio station DJ as being an "Artistic Impression"

Hmmm....

[Red73BB]

This has to be a deadhead's car. Its like a bad wreck you don't want to look but you do...
Gary

[6 Shooter]

something out of the Peace/Flower Power Movement :blow

[les]

It looks like the spoon mans car. A VW bus was funny, this is very distrurbing. AAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh!!!!:r :eek :eek :booty

[Baldie88]

I just showed my wife a picture of this car. Her words were "Oh my god, what is it!", "What was he out to prove?" and finally "He's sick!". BTW - She doesn't know a Chevy from a Ford (by her own admission) and has only driven my Vette twice, both under protest.

I'll admit that everyone is entitled to his own form of expression but to me I'd rather have him do this to a Yugo than a Vette!!

[mds10134]

That poor poor car!!!!! What year is that??

[glen3107]

In April, Houston has a annual "Art Car Parade". People show up with all kinds of "Artsy" cars (though I would never believe that a corvette would get the "Artified" till I saw the photo.).

We've been going for about the last 12 years. The kids love it. We try to figure out what each car started out as. At first, we thought that the people got their ideas from being out too long in the East Texas heat. But, in the last few parades we've seen lots of the cars that have come from other (cooler climate) states.
I guess there are Artsy folks everywhere.

An article with pictures of some of the cars is at:

[biurato]

It's an '84!

[lt4 gs]

definitely a mosaic on glass.........or....................:bash :bash :bash :bash :bash

[90 Corvette ZR-1]

it has to be atleast an 85. It had a L98 in it.

[The Car Whisperer]

No doubt that there was a significant amount of time and effort expended on that decorative paint job, though, it was unfortunately misdirected.

[chockey]

Well Rob after meeting you at Carlisle I think I understand your sence of humor, yup you stired up a bunch of comments with this one. Don't be offended but I think I'll nickname you MAYTAG like the washing machine because they have such a good agitator and from the comments you have agitated a few people. ;) Just Kidding I really enjoyed meeting you and you are just showing how others enjoy their Vettes.

Personally he didn't have enough of one color to paint her so off to the garage sales he went to buy what ever paint he could find.

Chuck :w

[vetguy]

I got to see the car close up and meet the owner. He is the guy standing straight up at the rear of the car by the Penske truck passenger door. He is a nice guy but picking up woman may not be an issue at all. He is probably still living in the sixties, which is great as long as he is happy. Close up every square inch of car that you can see is painted. Inside, outside, under the hood, wheel wells, everywhere. It was picked as a celebrity favorite by noted vette photographer Bill Erdman. Some people thought he ruined a vette. But by the same logic, didn't the same thing happen to the C5 that was heavily modified to look like a modern '53? How about what Calloway does to Vettes? To each his own. As long as you are happy about what modifications you did to your car, whether painted, body changes, or under the hood changes, go for it.

[WhalePirot]

Far from my up of java, but....

I remember hippies, but never knew the'd drive a Vette!

Did you see the tires? How can he get any decent lap times with THOSE!!!!

I couldn't get enough enlargement/resolution to see if it was a crossfire or TPI.

:w

[TruBluDude]

This is what happens when one drinks bong water

[JohnnyC]

[The Car Whisperer]
