Re: 69 Z-28 survivor
let's be realistic.
Bloomington guidelines refer to cars that have been sitting in a garage for 40 years,probably in a museum.
sure they have all the original parts,but that's because they havent moved in 40 years.
i have seen examples that dont fit that criteria be considerred a "survivor" that arent museum pieces,that amaze me,though.
but this Z28 actually defines survivor by being "driven".
sure,the original alternator and water pump puked over the years,and it got another paint job,but that is because it's been "driven".
i fail to see the "big deal" factor in a car that sits in a garage for 40 years,only to be brought out and proclaimed "survivor' because it still has the original air in the tires,or the spare tire still smells like rubber.
impress me,and fire that museum piece up,and run it down the 1/4,without that "original" fan belts,water pump,and alternator going south.
to be a survivor,you should survive something,other than time
this is only my opinion,nothing more.
