Re: Survivor vs Restored
[quote=Stefano] I like that SD both ways, the way you bought it as is as long as it is safe and sound to use and I'm confident that I'm going to like it once it's MASCAR restored. My personal preference is an unrestored car to a restored one.......generally and in most cases and for a multitude of reasons.
Many of the so-called "Survivors" which exist today are what I call "Revivors" , which is a Survivor with restoration work. Some of the work is done so well that most would never know anything was ever done, including paint work.
Untouched and pristine original 'bench mark' / 'time capsule' cars are very few and far between.
I agree and that is why I have no problem with a well documented restored car. There are so many "survivor" cars on the circuit that have had the bodies lifted, paint work, parts swapped out from other cars etc. To me, it's just another restored car with the intent to deceive and made to look old instead of new all in the name of $$ I have always wanted a super low mile untouched and well preserved 67 435 Corvette. Been looking for years and have not found any.
