Re: 69 Z-28 survivor
I rarely chime in on this kind of stuff...but....
Survivor is one of the great descriptive words in our hobby. I'm sure there are different degrees to define it. The definition of 'survivor' has special meaning to those of us who actually own one, like myself. Our cars are often a little rough around the edges as compared to a car that has received any degree of a restoration.
To me, you need a whole lot more than matching #'s to qualify a car as a survivor.
It's a word that we in the hobby should fight to keep it's original meaning.
Words like 'classic,' 'Musclecar' and even 'supercar' have been all cheapened over the years..It would be nice if we understood what a 'survivor' car really is and didn't just throw the term around so loosly.
You would have to have an unbelievably wide definition [and wrong headed in my view] of 'survivor' to qualify this Z-28 as one. IMHO
