Concourse condition vehicle.

I was reading on another thread about the fan housing and proper color. Then someone talked about operable Vs Concourse.
Is Concourse as close to original, or is it buffed out chrome and able to eat off the valve covers.

Concours is how the factory delivered a car. Usually cars are over restored and they are "nicer" than when they were new.

Concourse events and levels within the events vary greatly. They can vary from a "Wash-n-Shine" at the club level to Pebble Beach. One man's prized chrome shift knob is another man's abomination, depending on the event.

Pick a level you are comfortable with and aim your project at that goal or perhaps a little higher.

Thanks, I appreciate the input.
I'm planning to restore to original. It's just that Porsches look very functional, and don't have a "bling" look under the deck lid. Making sure mine isn't a tired looking car, and looking the way it's supposed to.
I didn't want to put stainless braded hyper alloy tubes where ther weren't needed with shouty fan blades and housing if the car was never equipped with them.

Ways to go:

1. Today's meaning of Concours - just like delivered but better in every way re panel fit, paint surfaces, etc. Cost = $100k

2. "Real" Concours - just like delivered

3. Period Correct - add or delete anything used at about the time the car was manf'd -- maybe even common aftermarket items.

4. Nicely done car w/o too much Bling - may use better engineered parts form later cars (e.g. Al banana arms) or non-Porsche parts (e.g. Racor fuel filters).

5. Hot Rod; Rgruppe type car; Bastard; Outlaw - lighter, more powerful faster than a stock car, even an RS - parts selected or eschewed according to a theme of light and fast (e.g. custom dual plug distributor, EFI & Motec system, BUT probably NOT a Hurst shifter).
