Class 1 “Trailer Queen” : Cars that are never driven and are exclusively for show only, they never lose a class, and very few exist.
Class 2 “Superior Restoration” : These cars will likely win their class at a national show unless a Class 1 is present. They are very competitive at a national level.
Class 3 “20-footer” : A vehicle with an older restoration or good amateur restoration. These are commonly found, and may place, at local car shows.
Class 4 “Good” : A drivable vehicle with a deteriorated restoration or a poor amateur restoration. These cars are obviously in need of a restoration at 20 feet.
Class 5 “Restorable” : Vehicle is in need of a complete restoration. It may not run, and will likely have some rust, but most parts are still intact.
Class 6 “Parts Car” : A vehicle that is wrecked, weathered, rusted, or stripped. At Graveyard Run, all restorations of vehicles will be performed at no less than “Class 2” quality.
