    Re: Duntov Award

    I can't speak for William but I am not suggesting anything like that, all Awards are earned and well deserved. What I am saying is there is a HUGE difference in comfort (AC, PS, PB, etc) and even reliability in driving a 50 - 60 year old car or a 20 - 30 year old car. I have driven my 59 year old mechanically fuel injected car well over 600 miles this year to a couple of Chapter Meets - one had quite a bit of rain and one was in 90 degree temperatures. (I never said I was very smart!) Don H.

      Technically speaking, there are three 1982's that received a Duntov award but those are probably counted as McLellan award cars. This also applies to some other C3 cars now being counted as McLellan recipients as well. Just some historical trivia for your consideration...….

        I believe we'll find that the complexity of the newer cars (C4 and up) has a fair chance of offsetting the 53-72 cars' age detriments when it comes to the advanced awards.
        My big adventure was 1102 miles of wondering, "Which 37 year old belt, hose, brake line, shock absorber, or suspension piece is going to let go?"
        Then we had another 700 +/- miles to get back home.
        I did drive on new wheels and tires, though swapping them out at the wash station on a July afternoon in South Carolina wasn't exactly a hoot either.
