About the Judge
John (Spencer) Haugrud’s passion for cars ignited at a young age with a collection of Matchbox cars and blossomed into a lifelong vocation. By 17, he had already ventured into the world of car modification and sales with a 1963 Plymouth Valiant. His career as a machinist and the responsibilities of family life dominated his time until his children’s teenage years, when a restoration project of a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback sparked his specialization in high-end Mustang restorations. Over the past 39 years, Haugrud has meticulously restored over 35 Mustangs and Corvettes, achieving the prestigious MCA Gold Concourse Trailered recognition for many of his projects. His expertise and dedication led to his role as a Gold Card judge for the Mustang Club of America, where he has judged various classes at over 36 national MCA shows. Additionally, Haugrud’s reputation extends to the Clayton Car Show, where he has been a frequent judge. His commitment to the car community is further exemplified by his efforts in training new judges within his local Mustang club, ensuring the legacy of excellence in car restoration and appreciation continues.
