In the past at MCA shows the judges have agreed to judge the car and not penalize me any points for the extra police equipment installed in the car. I think this works well. Personally I couldn't care less if my car gets judged or not. I don't go to shows for that reason.

I'll disagree...I think we'll eventually see it, and that we need to consider the equipment, lights, decals, etc. Our cars are not like the other classes. I think it's really even more difficult to properly restore one, versus the same civilian car, because you not only have to restore the Mustang, but you also have to find the correct equipment for it. We strive to maintain the "correctness" of these cars, and the class you describe above would allow someone to add whatever equipment that they wanted, whether the right stuff or not, and have it be judged against someone who spent significant time and effort finding the correct stuff.
Don't get me wrong....there could still be classes for resto-mod, clones, cars restored to factory-original (without equipment), etc.
Personally, I think that judging would be a good thing, and will only help educate and help us make our cars that much more better (when done appropriately).
