How they look at it is the 75+ is the post muscle car era. Your bigger shows will have 60 trophies. 40 for the classics and 20 for the late models. The problem is i don't think a pro street 77 malabu should be in the same class as a brand new charger. Now i don't enter alot of show because of my work schedule but i will stop by to see my dad if they are close to my route home. My dad has a 65 GTO that is unrestored (but should be) and is the original owner. He also has someone bring out his 04 F150 that is decked out to the hill. His truck always wins cause the judges will pick a couple of latemodel trucks. The last show i went to with him gave out 20 trophies for late models. Of course he won but 9 went out to PT crusiers. If you had classes that would never happen. It seems you have to know someone to win. I had a great time at this show and was fine not winning until....... Some girl with a 01 V6 with a pony decal down the side and a mac cold air won. The car looked like it has been parked infront of a sprinkler for months and probably hasn't been cleaned since new. Someone said something nasty and then pointed to my car and oh and behold i was called for best paint? Give me a break.

Unrestored 65 Goat? Please post some pics!
Yeah different shows have different rules and judges. I usually go to see different ideas. To be honest a 65 has been one of my favorites for a loooong time. But how many restored/minted out 65's can you see without getting bored? An unrestored one would be a breath of fresh air!

Depends what club is hosting the event, but here's what I can think of:

Fun Ford and NMRA are the same across the country.

The Mustang-specific shows held by the big clubs in the region split the Stangs up between body styles (79-93 or 87-93, 94-98, 99-04, 05+, and the classics have similar breakups but I can't remember exactly how they go). They then split those groups up between stock, mildly modified, and extreme modified. Smaller shows often have stock and modified for various year groups. That might seem like a lot but it's not uncommon for those mild mod and extreme mod classes to get 20 cars. I remember 30 one year in my class alone. Sometimes the classes get 3-5 people, and other times it's 20+. Very tough to know what's going to happen.

Some clubs here seem to just do "whatever" in their shows and just give trophies to whatever they feel deserves them out of whomever shows up. No structure or anything, and usually the results are very skewed.

The import clubs here (and some other non-import specific and non-Mustang clubs) either include "All Fords" or "All Mustang" classes, some even simply have "Domestic" (which is funny since they'll also have 20 classes for Hondas and not even BE an import-specific club aside from the fact no real car guys want to join )

I just live in a small town but around here most of the shows have classes for each decade, and usually mucsle cars. Some have classes for the popular cars like mustangs and comaros. Some have classes for project cars that aren't complete.
