What exactly makes a car a "survivor"? What is the criteria? Must it have original tires? Must it never have been wrecked and refinished? Example: Car had a minor fender bender 2 months after it left the dealer. Dealer repairs damage. Could this car ever be a survivor? Must hose clamps, hoses, battery, belts, plugs, plug wires, brake shoes/pads be original to the car the be a survivor?
I imagine everyone has their own opinion of what a survivor is. IMHO everything would have to be original to the car except fluid and filters to be a survivor.
