C1 of the Year -- Unmodified
For Corvetteforum’s 2020 C1 Corvette of the Year competition you have two choices for entering your Corvette – Unmodified and Modified.
For the Unmodified category, minor modifications are permissible; for the Modified category, your modifications can be for appearance or performance or both.
This thread is for entering your Corvette in the Unmodified category.
You can enter just one of the categories of competition and you do so by posting one photo of your C1 in the appropriate thread no later than 11:59 p.m. PDT, July 14. Moderators then will pick ten of their favorites as finalists and set up a poll to allow you to vote on which of those finalists is the C1 Corvette of the Year in each of the above-referenced categories. The judging, of course, is subjective and will be heavily influenced by the quality of the photographs submitted for the entries.
The contest is open to site users across the globe.
The reward in each of the categories is bragging rights and a designation under your user ID declaring your winning status.
In subsequent months, we’ll feature other generations for Corvette of the Year with the winner in each of those generations competing for Corvetteforum Corvette of the Year. The Corvetteforum Corvette of the Year will be featured on the mobile home page of the site.
The fine print: One entry per member. This contest is open to site users over the age of 18 who own the car they enter. Cars which have previously won are not eligible. Entry photos must have been shot by the Corvette's owner.
For the Unmodified category, minor modifications are permissible; for the Modified category, your modifications can be for appearance or performance or both.

340hp. Single owner from 1970. Pretty much original paint save for front valance and head light bezels. Both tops. Original engine. Lowered a little. Front spindles were reversed cut/welded. Leaf springs have been de-arched a bit too. This work completed during the mid '60s in SoCal.
Thank you.
Thank you.
