If it's "best original unrestored", I would think you would deduct points for any component that is not original, or has been "restored". Obviously, it will not have the original spark plugs, and you would have to allow for replacement parts that are still "stock". Probably deduct for aspects that are in poor condition, like dents, etc.- but not as much of a deduction as for restoration or unoriginal parts. IMHO. But I agree with the others that judging is generally a bad idea. Probably the most successful automotive club around is the Hudson Essex Terraplane Club (judging by the number of hits in its forum on the Classic Cars board), and one of its paramount rules from the beginning in 1959 is "no judging" at any of its functions. You see Hudsons ranging from barely running originals to 100 point restorations at their meets, and everyone seems to have a good time looking at the full range.
