On the mixing of replicas with authentic old cars at concours

[1985 CCX]

Let's face it CSX2000 is the original and the rest replicas of that car....

Just messing around, come on now!

Concourse events are for a car that is original and in the state it was from the factory. There are two divisions which allow for totally original cars and original cars with replicated parts. That said when we talk 1960's CSX2000, CSX3000 cars only they can be in concours and not even all of them qualify; replicas ERA, FFR EM CCX including MKIV and new Shelby's would not qualify. I am a replica owner and also realize that my investment is 10X less than that of an original car. There is a place for replicas its called a car show, cruise night or possibly popular vote class. Concours is for the real deal....... Not for 100% reproduction cars

Let the bell ring....

What if a CSX2xxx car was modified to a similar level to a factory racer (and raced, let's say, so it develops a different provenance).....how is it judged if presented at a concourse?
Not thinking of any particular car of course.

Glen, under the circumstances you describe, the car would be in the "race car" class rather than the "original as delivered/ street car" class, which would involve very different criteria.

I'm sure the powers that be in whatever event the car is entered do it differently but how the PCA handled it was that a factory race car would have scored more points than one modified by a private builder. Period mods would be worth more points than those done at a later date. That's how it was done when I was was involved in it.
