Re: 1970 Chevelle LS6 - triple black 7,900 miles
[ QUOTE ]
I guess we all define "survivor" differently. In my definition, this means a car that hasn't been messed with. No replaced parts, no reconditioning, etc. If you have a TRUE 7,900 mile car, why would some of these components needed to replaced/reconditioned in the first place!? It just doesn't make sense.

There are absolutely circumstances which would inhabit the restoration of a low mile car. Many of these cars were stashed in barns or in backyards and any exposed metal would be shot to $hit in a couple years. Metal oxidizes and rusts, mice get into interiors, and paint wears down. There is no ONE correct definition of survivor; that’s impossible. This is an example of a low mile car that has been brought back to life. Some people like patina, some like show and shine. In a perfect world everyone would like to find a 7,900 original mile ’70 LS6 Chevelle in BLACK that has escaped the evil hands of the restoration shop owner but lets get serious here guys, these cars were beat to crap from the moment they were driven off the lot. How many people have friends or even remember back to the day when they picked up a Hi-Po muscle car and turning out of the dealer lot they dropped the clutch and did a whole shot down the main street. Sometimes all this bickering makes me sick.
Sorry, its been a whirlwind of a day.
