Awards the Red Rocket has received

The Red Rocket is not an NCRS Top Flight or Bloomington Gold car, but previous owners have enjoyed taking it to shows and, over the years, it has collected quite a few awards. I think these awards are significant, as they're a testament to the cars originality, and how carefully it has been maintained.

  • 1st place Diablo Valley Corvettes show at Southshore in California in August, 1994
  • 1st place Diablo Valley Corvettes show at Southshore in California in August, 1995
  • 3rd place Stock 63–67 at the Larry Park Memorial show in California in September, 1996
  • 2nd Place Stock 63–67 at the Northern California Corvette Association Car Show on May 4, 1997 (with a score of 98.25 out of 100)
  • 1st place Unrestored Corvette at the Hartford auto show in Hartford Connecticut in January, 1998
  • 1st place Unrestored Sports Car at the Hartford auto show in Hartford Connecticut on January 4–6, 2000

Other results

  • 6th Place Domestic Sports & GT 63–79 at the 16th Annual Dodge Vintage Festival Concour d'Elegance on September 6, 1998. The Corvette received a score of 91.6 out of 100, with most points lost for the engine compartment and the carpet (both areas which have received a lot of attention since).
