Getting my car "Certified"

[87we410877]

Is there a service, kind of like a judge at a car show, that can look over my entire car which i restored to 100% original, and certify the originality of the car or give it a score or something? I think that would be nice to have when i sell it in a month.

Tyler, there's nothing in the Buick world.

only the Vette owners have the Bloomington Gold, Survivor, etc. certs.

Sure, Ferrari has Classische and well known builders may get an invite to show at a Concours d'Elegance but other than a judging at a GM Carlisle event, a GoodGuys show, etc. there is nothing on a national level to translate.

Maybe some consider the GS Nationals a national show event but the judges are just whomever shows up. What are the credentials of those doing the judging?

I figured that. Well myself being a buick GN connoisseur, i certify this car to be 100% factory original 100/100. LOL

Only thing I can think of is investing in an appraisal completed by an accredited classic car appraisal service.

Terry Shaw attends Kirban's events to appraise vehicles. His brother Bruce is an attorney practicing in PA, NJ and Washington, DC on collector car fraud cases.

The GSCA used to appraise cars; you could call them and ask. Be sure you call before noon on a week day.

You have done a tremendous amount of work, with a tremendous amount of spending, and taken zero shortcuts on this car.
How about sharing some detailed pictures of this gem?

Check out the thread in "Full Restoration T type" In the body / resto / paint section

I need to add some updates, but you'll get the idea.

Hate to say tis after looking but its not 100% original. It's missing some of the sloppy GM work. Therefore and IMO, it's better than original.
Much #Respect for ding all that with what you have (No fancy 20x40 shop, etc.).
Well done!

Send me $20 and I'll make up a certificate for you

Maybe inquire with Hagerty, Grundy or American Collectors Insurance?

They might be able to :

A. Do the appraisal.
B. Recommend someone.

Just a suggestion.....

A well done car will stand on its own.
