Well, I would classify it as a street machine or modern hotrod depending on how you build it. Being a 1985 model, you won't get into Goodguys events cause their cut off is 1972. Likewise, several of the NSRA events have cut offs at 1977 (Tampa, Richmond, Milwaukee, Burlington and a few others). NSRA nationals have a cut off of 1948.

Many local shows are "open" meaning any year is okay. At these shows you see a lot of Mustangs, PT Cruisers, Vipers, 'Vettes, and others regardless of vintage. You could easily go to any of the open shows. Most shows/events will tell you the cut off date for car entries if there is one.

Most states recognize classics, collector and antiques as being at least 25 years old. Those who have special licensing for streetrods/hotrods, the car has to have been built or built to resemble a vehicle made prior to 1949. Street Machines and customs can be any year, although usually 1950's thru current.

In your case, build it the way you want and drive it! Look for open shows and events and go have fun.

There are a lot of weekend shows in your area where you go, and most have no restrictions. Just about every Saturday there is a show at the Bennigans at Center of Glen Burnie Mall hosted by the "Lost in the Fifties" car club. If you need more info on other events, PM me and I will send you a list. There are also a number of car clubs in your area, many of which even accept membership from people who don't own cars.
