Well, that's not really how a Concours works. Even a brand new car, from the factory, would not score well in a Concours (PCA rules).

And, in a Concours, cars are awarded points for things like "driven to the event" and total mileage. A car trailered to an event has points deducted.

Please explain how a PCA Concours works, I'm curious.

Hey P. Chick:

Here's some good info, as it relates to our Chicago PCA Section. I'm pretty sure your section will be similiar:

Concours

If your section offers a "Concours School" I highly recommend going. Ours is in about 3 weeks. Even if you don't want to compete in concours, you'll still learn a lot of great tips & info (and meet great people) to maintain your new whip.
