1969 CHEVELLE L-78 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE

I agree with you. There are true survivor cars like you describe. It really does have to do with numbers as well. I love to see unmolested original everything cars, but we all know they are few and far between.Lets look at NCRS,How can they award a survivor certificate to a big block mid year that is displayed with the pictures of it being raced, completely color changed ,engine modified, then returned back to original colors( with over spray of the other color every where), orig paint valve covers off another car installed along with manifolds and other important items and call this car as well as certify it original. they do and have done it. I think alot has to do with just how much is untouched, divided across the whole car. Thanks Jim

"Survivor" is pretty much a made up category so there really isn't a true definition across the board for all makes/models. True survivors are very rare and I can see why they wouldn't get driven too often. Kind of like NOS parts are no longer NOS once you put them on the car and fire it up!

Woo Hoo!

If I am not mistaking in the Corvette world a survivor has to have two out of the three following items original and in above average condition. Drivetrain, interior or paint I believe the gold L-78 conv Camaro definetley fits that description.

My true interest is in survivor class cars. I have owned a few survivor Camaros. I am active in a judging organization "Vintage Camaro", we have participated most recently at Camaros at Carlisle. Presently we only focus on unrestored original Camaros. Vintage certifications are divided into four divisions:

Vintage Legend - Camaros that are 80-90+% unrestored
Vintage Legacy - Camaros that are minimally 50% unrestored
Vintage Reference - Camaros that are unrestored in at least one area.
Vintage Icon - Camaros that have original-unrestored components disbursed throughout the Camaro

The car is divided into five reference areas:
Engine Compartment area
Exterior Body
Interior Body
Underbody
Trunk

Each area is weighted, based on concentration of components, finishes, codes and markings.

If you have a Camaro that fits into one of our certification divisions and are interested in getting a certification drop me an email.

Hi; The gold L-78 Camaro conv is a great car and survivor by all means. It was only discussed because it was quoted as being untouched with only 19,000 miles. All of these low mile cars have a story and have been cleaned, polished, and touched up, to maximize the return on there investment. They are few and far between, but the closer you look the more you will see and learn. Thanks Jim [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
