Re:1982 DMC is concours?

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

In the most recent concours held in Cleavland and going by the judging 
manual created by James Espey and Steve Wynn of DMC Houston the car 
would have points deducted for every change or modifacation from "BONE 
STOCK" (including the smaller circuit breakers for the cooling fans 
and blower and old door lock module). In some other concours events 
held by other marques if you have the correct parts on the ground by 
the car or can produce documentation that the car was sold by the 
dealer that way they will accept it.Some car clubs like AACA allow any 
safety related changes like turn signals, seat belts, safety glass 
etc. As long as the owner has the origional parts and didn't cut the 
car up you can return it to stock condition. A perfect concours car 
would IMHO require all zillas which is a considerable investment plus 
new tires, header bottle, radiater, battery switch, etc to be a good 
and reliable daily driver and not just a show car.
