Day 2 vs Street Freaks vs Period Speed Parts

[bashton]

I like to think we (MCACN) were one of the first to acknowledge the Day 2 mods for shows.

For the MCACN show, we offer a specific categeory called "Day 2/Concours". This is judged in the same manner as a full-on Concours entry, with the exception being that period correct mods are considered in the judging process, IF they are date correct within 2 years of the original manufcature date of the vehicle, they pass the test. In most cases, aftermarket parts indeed can be date verified.

This category differs from our "Street Stock/Modified" classes in that SS/Mod can have any mods, color changes, engine swaps etc, but they are judged for quality of the mods, fit and finish with no regard to the age of the parts. In other words, a 69 Camaro with Radial T/A's, a color change and chrome valve covers may do great in SS/Mod, but would get major point deductions in Day 2 Concours.

Although we choose to use the 2-year rule, that is just our way of doing it and not a set rule for Day 2.

We created this category to acknowledge and encourage (and credit) a higher level of cars that are properly modified and also for cars like Nickeys, early Yenkos etc that may have had engine swaps when new, that would be docked points under "standard" Concours judging practices.

This is clearly our fastest growing category and is generating considerable interest.

Just another reason to make it to MCAN in November

The original owner of my 67 camaro RS-SS, said the original wheels and tires came off the car the same day he took delivery. Replaced with keystone mags.

Would that make your car "Day 0.5" then?

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I know someone was asking about the pics of the Nova I posted above. It's Joe Camuglia, original owner 69 SS350 4speed. There was a story on it in Hemmings

http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/..._feature6.html

Here are a few more pics that didn't make the original article.

Here is the car in he dealers lot back in 1969.


Original engine pic while still on the dealer lot, note overspray.

I'm actually going to pick the Nova up tomorrow and take it to a local cruise night in Garden Grove. It's still a blast to drive and keeps me young at the same time!! I still have the TT's, but the Cragar's are long gone. The tow tabs are also in storage right now.</span></span>

I couldn't resist posting those pics when discussing Day 2 mods. They are just priceless. Here I am trying to figure out what people consider Day 2 and there your story is writing the book on it! To have the story of the vintage mods and timeline so clearly doccumented by an original owner who lived it is pretty darn cool. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]
