SSP's-Future Value

[Vintageracer]

Your statement about being flexible is key! The Corvette bunch judgine standards have evolved in many ways over 30 years of judging. Heck, cars that were judged "top flight" 10 years ago would barely 3rd flight today. The knowledge base has changed that much. Any SSP judging guidlines would have to be a "living document" instead of being viewed as hard and fast rules of "the way it was"!

MCA is the quote "sponsor" of a lot of shows because the local club putting on the show is a MCA affiliated club. I just think there may be better alternatives.

Why not 3 simple catagories for SSP's.
1. Concours-as in exactly as it left the Ford plant. All FACTORY installed Ford equipment as in ground straps, the correct alternator, etc. No agency installed equipment. This allows for people who appreciate the special nature of these cars, but don't want the attention a marked unit may bring to an un-sworn owner.

2. In service- As the car was the first day with it's first agency, or as close as can be dtermined, it went into service. That is the light bar, radios, markings, etc.

3. SSP resto mod- Any made up car. This could be a non-SSP made to look like an SSP or one from one agency restored to look like another agency car.

Of course many here will be able to be more detailed about what would be what for each class, but that seems to cover the broad strokes.

That sounds like a good start.

That seems like a reasonable start point, as per this thread there are many variations of equipment and "correctness" due to the multiple federal, state and municipal agencies.
