Re: So what the hell is a survivor ?
What better way to help a thread than post pictures. I agree with the above. My idea of a survivor is original paint, untouched engine compartment/undercar/interior and it hopefully retains its original components.
My old '69 Z - (yes I corrected the master)   My old '66 Vette original owner car:   tag from the spair tire   The local Maroon '69 Z I posted photos of:    Cars that come to mind include Jack's '70 Z28 or KP's old green '69 Z28. I think Chuck and Darren have good photos of both.

Re: So what the hell is a survivor ?
Better would be answers to the following:
1. What should the minimum traits be? (#'s major, minor, paint) 2. What should the maximum traits be? (chalk marks, "caution" sticker  )3. What level of restoration/repair be? (sheet metal, consumables (( wtr pmp, alt, belts)) 4. Should there be "levels" of survivor?

Re: So what the hell is a survivor ?
Do you hurt the cars survivor status if you clean it up? No paint or bodywork, no new seat covers or anything like that, just clean it up with a degreaser or something along those lines.

Re: So what the hell is a survivor ?
As long as you leave the original dirt and grease that came with the car !
Like the crud around the ball joints !  That might be worth some points ??  Mike
