<VV> CORSA and Air Cleaner Finish is it chrome or black?

Kent, I can see your point about entering a stock class in a concours and yes, the NCRS has more time, money & man power to do research on what stock is. 

But that still leaves me with the question, what is stock? Is it as delivered by the manufacturer or as delivered by the dealer, or is it something else? How does the Corvair world define stock?

Roy, CORSA concours judging is based on cleanliness and condition, NOT how 
stock a car appears. "Stockness" only affects what class a car is assigned 
to. But since there is not a forced stack-ranking within each class but 
instead a fixed point threshold for Gold, Silver, etc., being in a smaller 
Stock class does not affect the likelihood of getting an award either. The 
only thing that a stock designation provides is the ability to compete for 
the separate "best stock" car. And a sense of accomplishment for achieving a 
stock designation. 

That said, the Stock Corvair Group is dedicated to finding answers to all 
kinds of stock questions, because those of us in it are a bunch of nuts who 
enjoy this sort of thing. :-) The variety, number, and difficulty of 
unanswered stock questions is extreme. The NCRS has had a small army of 
people researching the equivalent questions for Corvettes for 25 or more 
years, while a very small group of us just got started (with no budget, 
etc.) a few years ago.
