Especially if Tim and I drove it around to get some rock chips. I'd be happy to store it in the Garajamjal so we can do that! Better than driving it in that snow up in Chicago!

I love survivor cars. Original paint is a must in my book to be considered a true survivor. I own a #'s matching L78 Pace Car that I would consider a survivor car. Some on this site have questioned how well it has survived but it is what it is. Very rust free, 63K miles, original paint, original drivetrain, original interior. I replaced some of the consumable parts, the carpet, exhaust and added the correct smog. Other than that just about everything else is original. Even the hood insulation. I did paint the exhaust manifolds.....I couldn't help myself. You can't tell by looking at it but it's been completely and correctly gone through mechanically. I differentiate between restoring and repairing. I don't think any of the things I've done compromise it's survivor status. At least I hope not. JMO.

Thats a nice car Rick! I would even wipe down the inner fenders,subframe, motor compartment, firewall etc. with WD40 or Boeshield and a rag.
