In an EFV8 judged show, what is considered a perfect score? Do cars ever get perfect scores?

A perfect score is 1000 points. I've done a number of 999 and 998 cars but never a 1000. I firmly believe there is no such thing as perfect restoration. Thus, when I get nicked one or two points, I remain happy Kube

I agree with kubes40. However,I do remember some years ago when a gentleman named Walter Heckman Jr. scored a perfect 1000 with his 1934 Ford Phaeton.

The Antique Automobile Club of America {a.k.a.- AACA} scores on a 400 point system. However,that club does not divulge scores. So if anyone in that particular club knows they scored 400 someone broke a rule,which does happen sometimes.

For the sake of converstaion I will offer my opinion in regard to the AACA. While a due respected club, their judging criteria is much different than the Ford Club of America. The AACA does not judge on authenticity nearly to the degree our Club does. More so, they judge on the quailty of the restoration. That is why I find it much more impressive to score an extremely high point in our Club. Simply, it takes a lot more effort (in time, parts gathering and research, etc.) to do so.

To quote 40guy: I agree with kubes40. However,I do remember some years ago when a gentleman named Walter Heckman Jr. scored a perfect 1000 with his 1934 Ford Phaeton. Again, for conversation sake: Once we restore our cars, they are not original / not authentic any longer. So one might understand I have no "sour grapes" or other contentious regards, understand pleases that I am one of those guys that turn out 999 point cars. Now, the reason I firmly believe this is we over restore the cars so much they can't be a "perfect" restoration simply by definition. A perfect restoration would be to bring the car back to exactly how it left the assembly line. Yep, over spray, mis-aligned panels, the whole thing... NOT the works of art our 999 - 1000 point cars might suggest.

What would a respectable score be? I've never had my car in a judged show but I hope to do so next season. What type of scores generally win at an EFV8 show?
