Since I am in the mood to ask questions, what should I call my car? It's not a survivor, because it was rebuilt back in the 80's. New sheetmetal, fenders, quarters, floor pan and painted black. They (I have no clue who or where the work was done) did a good job because the car is straight, but it was also very incorrect and incomplete and still is.
So if it's not a survivor and it's not "restored", is there a classification for it?
I just call it mine, for going on 23 years now.

Call it a "fractional restored" car.

Your last line is the correct answer...it's your car, not anyone else's. If someone doesn't like it or has an issue with the 'lack of correctness'...oh well

Drive it, enjoy it and don't look back.
