Can someone tell me where I can find or share more information on the Bowtie award besides the info listed from this site below?
I am trying to determine whether my car may fall into that category.
My concerns so far is that most of my original engine accesories were replaced, like water pump, alternator, A/C, etc. Im thinking that this will automatically throw me out of the 80% range in the mechanical area. I also do not have the original tires on the car which may or may not throw me out of the 80% range in that category as well.
Any comments are greatly appreciated!

From this site:
"NCRS - CHEVROLET BOWTIE Award®
This award was created by the National Corvette Restorers Society in 1992. The Bowtie award recognizes the unrestored Corvette and encourages the owner to retain and display the car in its present condition for the enjoyment and continuing educational benefit of our membership. The award is earned only at a National Convention by unrestored cars successfully judged and voted to be historically and educationally significant in four areas (Interior, Exterior, Mechanical and Chassis). This award is available to any model year currently judged by NCRS which was manufactured 20 or more years ago. Regardless of change in ownership or judging result the car may never be presented for judging again. The judged section requires an 80 to 85% pass with the following standard "Does the item, part, fabric, plating or coating appear to actually be that which was specifically installed or applied on this car at the time of manufacture". If this is successfully passed the vote with the following standard "Does the area judged display significant educational and historical value which should be preserved in its present condition" is taken. Passing both sections in all four areas earns the NCRS - Chevrolet Bowtie award. As of end of the 2001 season, only 135 Corvettes have received this award."
