When a person say it's unrestored,some people gravitate to take that to mean it's a survivor and get all upset,when it was never represented as such.
In general,I see a survivor vehicle as withstanding the test of time and is as close to as was delivered & never restored,i.e.never fluffed,never rattle canned here & there,never repainted,no panels replaced,no drivetrain mods,or of course,not a full blown frame off.
But a vehicle that's unrestored,does not automatically make it a survivor,i.e. panels replaced,new paint,seats recovered,engine or drivetrain swapped or modified.All of that is neither original nor restored.
I think this is a blurred area for so many.
