I love survivor cars. Original paint is a must in my book to be considered a true survivor. I own a #'s matching L78 Pace Car that I would consider a survivor car. Some on this site have questioned how well it has survived but it is what it is. Very rust free, 63K miles, original paint, original drivetrain, original interior. I replaced some of the consumable parts, the carpet, exhaust and added the correct smog. Other than that just about everything else is original. Even the hood insulation. I did paint the exhaust manifolds.....I couldn't help myself. You can't tell by looking at it but it's been completely and correctly gone through mechanically. I differentiate between restoring and repairing. I don't think any of the things I've done compromise it's survivor status. At least I hope not. JMO.
