Default Re: 'Survivor' Term Comes Under Fire

The name of our survivor certification program for the Camaro is Vintage Camaro rather than survivor because of the bloomington groups objection to anyone else using the term survivor.I believe they trademarked the term.

Vintage Camaro was established to provide the appropriate status, recognition and appreciation of the unrestored Camaro.

Most cars that are 30 plus years old show their age and have been restored to some level. Very few are true time capsules. However at this years Camaro Nationals @ Carlisle, Vintage Camaro was treated to several of the best survivor status cars, such as a Red 1969 RS/SSL78 with 12k miles, White 1969RS/SS L48 with 14 k miles to name a few. One of the reasons most original cars are fluffed and buffed in the past was because no one recognized their status as valuable benchmark cars. Instead they were judged against restored cars, so owners fluffed and buffed them to compete(In the above statement I am referring to the Camaro arena). We offer full certifications and partial certification for cars that may have been restored in one or two specific areas.

And yes Mark the term is overly used.
