Concours Information
Concours Registration: If you wish to participate in the Concours Show, you must register by June 10, 2014.
Only 1964-1974 GTOs and GT-37s can enter Concours classes. 1964-1974 Tempests, LeMans, and 1974 Ven-turas that promote a GTO image may compete in the Concours Competition Modified Class (full race cars) only. Cars in all Concours classes (except Competition Modified) must provide documentation from Pontiac Histori-cal Services indicating that the car is an authentic GTO/JUDGE/GT-37. No ex-ceptions.
Concours Class Descriptions:
Restored: Judging in this class will be based on authenticity and quality of workmanship. Replacing original mate-rials, assemblies, or additions of acces-sories is acceptable only if they were available from the manufacturer during that particular model year. Point deter-mination for the use of reproduction parts will be based on their likeness to factory assembly line parts.
Factory Original (Unrestored):
This class will be judged on the car's originality and condition. Originality will be determined from the body iden-tification and production codes. Condi-tion will be based on cleanliness and amount of wear. Only original or GM maintenance parts are eligible to receive full point credit. Use of aftermarket or reproduction parts will be grounds for full point deduction. Cars in this class should have a majority of original paint, upholstery, and chrome plating.
Modified & Competition Modified:
To enter Concours Modified or Compe-tition Modified, a car must have at least three qualifying modifications such as: engine swap, transmission swap, non-original induction, disc brakes where not original, aftermarket AC, fuel injec-tion, blower, nitrous, suspension mods, custom dash or upholstery, custom paint (aftermarket color, flames, graphics, etc.), tube frame, roll bar, body modifi-cations, etc. Cars in this program will be judged on build quality, fit, finish, and detail.
Concours cars MUST be in the Con-vention Center by noon on Wednes-day, July 2. Concours judging is Thursday, July 3.

Popular Vote Information:
Classes are determined by year and body style based on actual registrations received. We may have 15 classes, or 18 classes, or 22 classes, or whatever amount best fits the entries this year.
Popular Vote is open to all Pontiacs. Classes for non-GTOs will be deter-mined by the number of other Pontiacs registered, either by year or model.
Popular Vote registrations MUST be received by June 10, 2014. Popular Vote registrations received after June 10 will be entered as "2 Late 2 Class," which is a catch-all class for late entries, all models, body styles, and years.
All cars must go through tech-in. Popular Vote tech-in is Tuesday, July 1, Wednesday, July 2, and Thursday, July 3. Voting is Friday, July 4 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
See the Popular Vote Classification Chart to determine if you should enter as Stock or Modified. Make sure you enter the proper category for your vehi-cle. If your car has to be placed in a dif-ferent class upon arrival because the in-formation you provided is incorrect, there may not be sufficient parking space in the proper class.
This also applies if you bring a dif-ferent car from the one originally regis-tered. Every effort will be made to ac-commodate such situations, but if you show up with flames on a car entered as Stock, there may not be a space for you in the Modified category. Likewise, if you register a '64 GTO convertible but arrive with a '68 Firebird hardtop, there may not be space for you in the class where you need to park.
Note: All 2013 first place cars must en-ter as Winners' Circle.
In order to authenticate GTOs and Judge models, all 1964-65 and 1972-74 GTOs and all Judges in Popular Vote must be documented. Unverified GTOs will be classed as Modified A-body and unverified Judges will be classed as Modified GTO.
You must supply your VIN when registering a GTO or Judge. PHS will verify that the car is a real GTO or a real Judge. The authenticity of 1966-1971 GTOs will be verified by VIN.
