Historical Preservation of Chevrolet Features is referred to as HPOCF. It is for Chevrolets that have much of the car in original condition. To enter a car like this in a Chevrolet Meet where other cars are being judged, you need to think about the following points.
1. The car is "certified" in 4 areas. Chassis/Undercarriage, Engine and comparment, exterior and finally interior.
2. HPOCF cars are NOT point judged.
3. 75% of each of the 4 areas should be original. For ex. If the car has been repainted, the exterior would not qualify since more than 75% of the exterior is the paint job. Therefore the exterior would not be certified.
4. Only 2 of the 4 areas listed under Point #1 need to qualify. So if the only "restoration" on the Chevrolet is a new paint job, then it might just make it in the other 3 areas.
5. The owner of the car participates in the certification process for HPOCF. He talks with the HPOCF certification team as they look to cerify the car in at least 2 areas.
If your car is a true survivor and is basically unrestored, then HPOCF may be for you. Just remember, you need to qualify in at least 2 of the 4 areas. So an all original car, with a engine and engine compartment that has been restored, can still make it in HPOCF.
