The Nickey Chicago Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, Presented by Bill Stasek Chevrolet, is proud to announce they have joined forces with Steve Shauger and the Vintage Certification Board to fill a unique niche in the Camaro and Chevelle hobby.
Vintage Certification is intended to promote the preservation of unrestored Camaros and Chevelles, whether whole or in part. Vintage Certification is not for everyone, but for those who believe in the philosophy that an original car showing wear is indeed preferable to one that is improperly restored. The Vintage Certification process will recognize this elite group of Camaros and Chevelles and their owners, and will encourage owners to retain and display these cars in their present unrestored condition. These cars are significant and the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals would like to promote this preservation.
Vintage Certification will represent a repository of factory correct standards by which the hobby and serious restorers can all benefit. Vintage Certifications will be divided into four divisions; Vintage Legend, for vehicles that are 80-90% unrestored in all areas combined, Vintage Legacy for vehicles that are unrestored in three out of five areas, Vintage Reference for vehicles unrestored in at least one Vintage Reference area and Icon for vehicles that have original-unrestored components disbursed throughout the vehicle.
Vehicles are accepted for Vintage Certification only after applying through Program Coordinator, Steve Shauger. Complete criteria and an outline of requirements can be obtained by calling Steve at (631) 514-9765.
Benefits of the Vintage Certification process include verification by the Vintage Certification Board of the vehicles pedigree and the owner will be provided with a complete listing of correct and incorrect components. An award plaque and Certificate will be presented upon completion of the verification process, documenting the results in detail.
The Nickey Chicago Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, Presented by Bill Stasek Chevrolet is proud to offer this service and to provide recognition and appreciation to the owners of these unique unrestored vehicles. Vintage Certification is limited to just a few candidates per show, and all applicants must be pre-approved. Look for this program to expand to other makes and models in the future.
