they didnt. thats the funny thing. IF you can find a REAL survivor car look at the paint. its SO terrible back then orange peel over spray its CRAZY.

I'm not convinced big $$$ cars now are built that nice lol

Having seen it in person, they aren't.

You're right Matt. I'll fill out the entry form tomorrow and see if I get accepted in.

It's moved out of Hartford, CT.

On March 2nd & 3rd 2013, it's at:

Eastern States Exposition
Home of the Big E
1305 Memorial Ave
West Springfield, MA 01089

They better accept you, don't see how they car could be any more perfect.

Ooh, at the big E this year? That's cool :)

And I only say that cause I've been around long enough and seen enough to know how it goes ;) Even garage queens aren't exempt and I know damn well you drive yours. Kudos to you for that too btw

It might depend on how many entries they already have. I would probably have a pretty good chance though since I think the space at the big E is going to be much bigger. They seemed to be very limited for space at the Hartford CT Expo Center.

Thanks! It definitely needs a cleaning. I have only put about 400 miles on it so far though.

I think I put 400 miles on my lt1 the day I bought it LOL

I filled in the on-line Frank Maratta form and emailed the pictures in today. I'll have to see what happens.

I also bought some car show display booth items today. They will be for the Z, but if I get in I will probably use them 1 time for the Maratta show.

The guy selling the display items sold his 63 Corvette last year at a Mecum auction in Florida. It was a car he built. The Corvette specific signs went with the car.
