Default Re: 1972 oldsmobile 442 4 speed (survivor)

I guess the survivor term has several meanings, and I might not even know when a car can no longer be considered a survivor, but I will explain why I call it that: engine has never bean removed or altered, interior never altered or restored, the jams and under hood and trunk are all original paint, original door seals, window felts, bumpers, trim, grilles, lenses, and so on, the body wasn't stripped to the bare shell and repainted so I guess that's what I base it's survivor status on, if the "survivor" word doesn't fit for some, I can agree, we will call it a unmolested original instead, I can tell that this is how I like to find them, drive it home,no part hunting needed, glove box full of original paper,
