Last week kicked off a series called On the Campaign Trail where I’ll be sharing my experiences with my 72 Corvette as I run it through NCRS, Bloomington Gold, and MCACN judging this year. Now that you know what I’ve got, we’ll look at what it took to get it ready for the judges. Rather than focus on all the individual tasks needed to prepare my car, this week I’ll mainly walk through some higher-level judging prep and sprinkle in some details throughout.

Everything doesn’t always go according to script, and the Formula 1 US Grand Prix on Sunday, October 21, was not exempt. Points leader, Lewis Hamilton, having won five of the last six F1 races at the Circuit of the Americas, was the odds-on favorite to win the race and lock up his fifth World Champion title. Neither was to happen, at least not on this particular F1 race day in Austin, Texas. But it wasn’t the only thing on the track that day that didn’t exactly go according to plan, which is where this story makes a sudden hairpin turn into a story about 19 vintage Corvettes.
Corvettes on Craigslist: 1965 Corvette Project Car Named Barny Needs a New Home
Having two project cars going at the same time is a little much, so the owner of this 1965 Corvette convertible barn find is putting it up for sale.

The seller came across “Barny” in a Wisconsin barn a few months ago, ending a hibernation that began 40 years ago.
