Survivor is used differently today than when it first appeared 10-15 years ago.....as always the description has evolved in perception of those individuals using the term "loosely" or "tight"

A survivor then meant an unmolested, unrestored mostly original car in very good over all condition.

A repaint 46 years ago on a 50 year old car regardless of rust or damage and has since been "reconditioned" /detailed / maintained or just stored . ... until recently is A survivor ....

Most of our cars....all membership cars included,,,,, have been aged, rusted, raced, wrecked, used, abused, butchered in one way or another !
Restored......all that stuff is gone or covered over or totally replaced.

A Surviving car means just that.....it has survived weather conditions and the debatchery of the owners.

A judging guide has been developed in recent years to determine a % (percentage) of what has survived from new. Originality of Existing Paint,Chrome,trim,interior upholstery, paint, carpet,trim, Glass, anodized pieces,engine,drive train, undercarriage, engine and trunk compartment, tires, wheels ,battery & serviced wear n tear items.........all on a percentage/ point basis.

In MY book , this SS Malibu is a surviving car ......to what point and percentage level is yet yo be determined.

If this WAS YOUR CAR.... ! ? !
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT ?.
ADVERTISE IT ?
STATE IN DETAIL the Actual Factual Conditions... and History ?

I like this car a lot....I talked with Barry a few times about it being available to buy.......
And values...... yes, some grey areas, yet facts and history . And past owners availability are all good buying & selling points.

Have the Car Judged or Looked at by someone that adheres to Survivor Guidelines and We All Win !!!!
