I would disagree. The BMW CCA Concourse is primarily a clean car contest. The Great White won first place in the Concours Class with a 3.5 L and 5 speed, but I did lose points for the subwoofer in the trunk.judges wouldn't like my car anyway - i have a '71 and its ceylon (a '72+ color), i have a euro b34 (going to have megasquirt), i have a 5 speed, a scheel sport interior, non-walnut wood, a '74 telescoping steering column, all the stuff that goes with the euro b34 (newer alternator, starter, P/S pump, sanden compressor) ... and the list goes on.
