69 Z-28 survivor

[John]

Adam, Your car should sell very soon. You have it priced reasonable and it is a great color
Who gives a crap about someone's definition of "survivor"
...Hell I think "survivor should NOT be "original paint and parts"...but what about the cars that are still driven on the highways with all those nit wits out there
with their "zoom-zoom " cars....I think "survivor" should go to the ones that have registered their cars and driven them on the public highways ....and still "SURVIVED"


Who else on this site has driven their Yenko Camaro over 300 miles this past year?...

...If you have ..my hats off to you
I have

I rarely chime in on this kind of stuff...but....

Survivor is one of the great descriptive words in our hobby. I'm sure there are different degrees to define it. The definition of 'survivor' has special meaning to those of us who actually own one, like myself. Our cars are often a little rough around the edges as compared to a car that has received any degree of a restoration.

To me, you need a whole lot more than matching #'s to qualify a car as a survivor.

It's a word that we in the hobby should fight to keep it's original meaning.

Words like 'classic,' 'Musclecar' and even 'supercar' have been all cheapened over the years..It would be nice if we understood what a 'survivor' car really is and didn't just throw the term around so loosly.

You would have to have an unbelievably wide definition [and wrong headed in my view] of 'survivor' to qualify this Z-28 as one. IMHO

------Hey!!! Survivor type cars are cool, no matter to what degree. Their coolness comes from what they can teach us about how to restore the cars that need restoration. Thats why Dave B of B/G fame started the original program. He saw (correctly) that people were restoring nice original cars simply because they wanted them perfect for judging purposes. He wanted a way to honor original cars so as to keep original cars around. I think that the various different survivor type judgings (B/G, NCRS, etc.) have done a huge amount for the continued expanding of quality restorations that seem to show up around the country.
------Now as to weather this Camaro is a survivor or not, I hate to play the middle ground but it just depends on your outlook. Hey its still around and hasnt been crushed so it has survived a lot!!!........Bill S
