I have a suggestion for your consideration ... How about "Work Horses." These would be the daily drivers that "wow" us every day - just because of their reliability and the fact that like the Stallions of yesteryear, they get us everywhere we want to go. Nicks, dings, a bit of road rash, higher mileage, and possibly faded seats ... and the owner must be able to verify that all cars in this category are, indeed, their daily drivers. :argue:

I am not suggesting we use these rules, I am just putting them up for reference. Sorry the format is ugly.

OCCASIONAL DRIVEN – DAILY DRIVEN MUSTANG RULES 1. All vehicles in these classes must be driven to and from the show from the owner’s home of record, except for trailered classes. Burden of proof is the owner’s responsibility. Any vehicle in the non-trailered class that is trailered or towed to or from National Shows will be disqualified from all National Shows for one year. 2. All vehicles must have current license and safety inspection, if applicable. Antique plates will be questioned on Daily Driven Class cars. Most states have a mileage limitation for cars with antique plates. Antique plates are acceptable in the Occasional Driven Class. Any vehicle without current, valid license and safety inspection, if applicable, will be disqualified from either class. 3. Determination will be made at the time of Classification at each show if a car will be allowed to enter these classes. Classification will determine whether a car is qualified for entry in either class. Vehicle must meet ALL classification requirements to be eligible for these classes. Any questions regarding class eligibility will be referred to the National Head Judge or his designated representative and his decision will be final. 4. Cars in these classes will be judged for workmanship, cleanliness and condition only. Cars in these classes will NOT be judged on authenticity. Undercarriages will be inspected at Classification. Occasional Driven Class and Daily Driven Class undercarriage MAY be detailed to or near Concours Standards, so as to encourage owners to eventually move to the Concours or Modified classes. Engine compartments and undercarriages will be judged only on Occasional Driven cars. Undercarriage may be clean but must show evidence of street use. Daily Driven Class MUST have engine compartments closed. Undercarriages will NOT be judged. 5. Replacement parts should be stock, OEM or similar aftermarket. Cars in these classes are expected to have aftermarket parts. For Daily Driver Class: Tires MUST show evidence of street use or owner must present proof of recent purchase within the last six (6) months. 6. Modifications: Car must satisfy all requirements on the Classification Sheet. Major modifications to body, sheet metal or structure (flared wheel well, hood or side scoops, spoilers, air dams, etc.), interior (velour, rolled and pleated, radical, etc.), or drive train are not acceptable.

A minor modification is defined as: A simple bolt on change with no major disassembly or alteration of any part of the car. Minor modifications are acceptable (mag wheels, color change, radio, etc.). Tires excessively oversized that rub or extend beyond wheel wells are not acceptable. A modification to the wheel well to accept tires and wheels would be considered a steel/metal structure modification. Good workmanship applies when replacing tires, hub caps, etc., Occasional Driven Class and Daily Driven Class - Spare tire and rim are not required to match. 7. A custom interior departing from the original Mustang style interior is not acceptable. Replacing stock early model low-backed buckets with high-backed Mach I seats is acceptable if this is the only modification to the interior. For Daily Driven Class only, interior must show evidence of daily use. A car with a newly installed interior will not be disqualified from the Daily Driver Class if the rest of the requirements are met. 8. An aftermarket radio and rear and/or door speakers are acceptable. A stereo system that occupies a major portion of the rear seat is not acceptable. A color change is acceptable. Heavy metallic or radically painted cars, graphics, custom stripes or designs are not acceptable. 9. Cars in trailered classes will be judged under the same guidelines as driven cars. They will be in their own classes to keep them separate from the cars driven to the shows. 10. For Daily Driven Class only: Exterior paint must show daily driving wear and tear (minor chips, dings, scratches, etc.). A range of wear in the Occasional Driven Class would be to near flawless to minimal wear; for Daily Driven Class, minimal wear to well enjoyed. A freshly painted car will be accepted in Daily Driven Class if the rest of the requirements are met. 11. Daily Driven Class car MUST be the owner’s primary transportation in order to qualify for this class. 12. The minimum point system does not apply to these classes.
