Default Re: Survivors - Where is the line drawn?

I think there should be a distinction between a un restored car and a Survivor perhaps. As you eluded too, A Original unrestored car , can be in very poor condition. Case in point.

Recently One of the Muscle car magazines did a Big feature on a "Survivor" car. This particular car,has been wrecked, paint missing all over it, the bright work is pitted horribly ( Northeast car)And the owner recently has been "replacing parts" in attempt to make it "more original". I think it would be fair to categorize this one as un restored, or mostly original, but certainly not Survivor based on the poor condition.
