Survivors - Where is the line drawn?

[Smokey]

What about an engine. It can go both ways. Think of all the Corvettes, Chevelles and Camaros that got road hard within 10,000 miles and blew a rod out the side or dropped a valve. Engine stuff I love born with like all of us, but can also see paperwork with a CE and still be 90% happy. Aftermarket hoses and belts like from Gates back in the day are great. So as long as its period correct from when it was like 10 years old and what one would see at the Service Station.

A survivor to me is one that GM sprayed paint on 75% of it and it still showing a 7.0 or higher on a scale of 1-10.

Tires- How many miles have you got out of set back in the day? Even today on my driver I go through a set or two a summer. Original born with ones are cool and should be awarded a notch or a point for it, but it shouldn't be deducted for having some repro or back in the day replacements.



I think there is a market into setting a standard for this...and coming up with a board of lets say 21 people to write a book on this.
