1965 Chevrolet Corvette NCRS Top Flight / NCRS 5 Star Bowtie Award / Bloomington Gold Benchmark Award. NCRS Shipping Data Report documents the car's final assembly date of November 30th, 1964. Originally delivered to Parmount Chevrolet in Downey, CA. It is assumed the car was the subject of a dealer trade. The car was later sold to it's first retail customer Mr. Alan P. Torq on December 15th, 1964 at Felix Chevrolet in Los Angeles, CA. Mr. Torq (who preferred to go by the name of Pete) was a resident of Huntington Beach, CA. Pete was an aircraft technician by trade. That is evident by his meticulous maintenance and notes that he kept during his ownership. Pete also enjoyed periodically drag racing the car, turning mid to high 13's at Lion's Dragstrip (pic and photocopies of time slips contained in gallery). In 1970, Pete relocated to Parkville, MO. Pete would drive the 65 back and forth to California with some regularity, thus explaining the mileage of 89k miles. In 1990, Pete drove the 65 to Bloomington Gold for the first inaugural Survivor judging. The car was proudly displayed as being shown by it's original owner. Pete's wife Irene, documented the occasion on video tape (now saved on DVD). Pete was presented his Survivor award by none other than Larry Shinoda. The award, literature, and other associated documents accompany the car (including the t-shirt provided to the judging participants). Pete retained ownership of the car until 2005. The car was purchased by then NCRS National Judging Chairman Roy Sinor. Roy Sinor placed the car in his personal collection. Roy performed some sympathetic cleaning, along with the installation of an NOS GM off road exhaust system. In all actuality, the car required very little due to Pete's fastidious maintenance. Due to some personal circumstances, Roy reluctantly sold the car in 2008. In a conversation with Roy, he maintains he would still own the car today if it were not for having to keep his priorities in focus. Longtime NCRS member and exhibitor Kevin Dewitte of Fountain Hills, AZ purchased the car in 2008 from Roy. Kevin then prepared the car for NCRS judging (requiring very little). During the duration of Kevin's ownership, the 65 has received the NCRS Top Flight award twice, and also the NCRS Bowtie Award. The NCRS Bowtie Award is a program to promote the preservation and recognition, of original and unrestored cars.
