Ok. At the risk of offending I have a question. I plan on submitting my unrestored 914 in the preservation class for judging at the national Porsche Parade in Spokane WA next year ( live in the state). I was advised by a very helpful member of this site about how the judging goes. He stated in preservation class judging, if you have factory paint and there are some runs in it , from the factory, that I needed to wet sand those down or I would get deducted. I also noted to him that on my car there were areas where the person at the factory who applied the adhesive for the weather stripping was a little over jelious and got some brush strokes outside the weather stripping. He also stated those would probably need to be removed to prevent point deduction. He then stated he was a concours judge for 914's. Now I have entered major concours shows in preservation classes and placed and never heard anything along those lines. I guess my question is this : If you are not judging on how the car was made exactly from the factory with no alterations or modifications at all, including, and especially, factory imperfections. Then what exactly are you preserving? How the car was made at the factory or how you wish the car looked from the factory. I know I am a new member but I am a long term unrestored, untouched addict who works hard at having people understand how important these treasures really are. Hope this spurs some good posts. Again no offense was ment by this post. I very much appreciate the help the judge was trying to give me

Scott S Quote: The way this thread reads, it appears you could lose a PCA zone or parade event, but win at Pebble or Amelia. That doesn't make sense.
That is a fact. Amelia Island, Hilton Head and most likely Pebble Beach are all Beauty Contests. Also, your dialog with the judges at these events, is as important as the Q & A section of the Miss America Pagent. My Sahara Beige 914 won Best in Class (Preservation Class 1954-1974) at Hilton Head last year but based on the PCR's, it wouldn't have a chance at Parade. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Steve - do you plan to make improvements to the car as Tom T suggests so it will be better received at Parade or the zone 8 crowd. |
