Survivors - Where is the line drawn?

[ANDY M]

My car is kind of a survivor, or as Hemmings would say, "refurbished". It was sort of restored back in the 80s, repainted from LeMans blue to black, and the M40 was replaced by a Muncie. Some of it is still original, like the headliner and other bits of the interior, but the dirt is new. Since I like it the way it is, I have a little sign explaining that it's incorrect, incomplete and unrepentant.
Get over it. It's a driver, and I like it that way.

Just visit Chris P and Joe D's garage and you will quickly learn the standard for the definition of "survivor"

It will always be a matter of individual OPINION until there is a universal hobby recognized definition. Good luck with that. The only thing you can do is make a comparision with a given car with a given clubs criteria for a survivor class if they have one. Otherwise the whole thing is a never ending debate based on what two or more people THINK.

Orlando, you are right about that. I love a great restored car but after seeing the cars that Chris and Joe has, there is something extra special about a car that survivied that era intact and unmolested.

Not sure where you draw the line on survivor, but if your talking time capsule Charlies canyon copper 70Z is the yardstick to which others should be measured.

You need to have plant installed RT44's to make time capsule though
