Default Re: So what the hell is a survivor ?

Better would be answers to the following:

1. What should the minimum traits be? (#'s major, minor, paint)
2. What should the maximum traits be? (chalk marks, "caution" sticker )
3. What level of restoration/repair be? (sheet metal, consumables (( wtr pmp, alt, belts))
4. Should there be "levels" of survivor?

Do you hurt the cars survivor status if you clean it up? No paint or bodywork, no new seat covers or anything like that, just clean it up with a degreaser or something along those lines.

As long as you leave the original dirt and grease that came with the car ! Like the crud around the ball joints ! That might be worth some points ??

Does this qualify as a survivor (or do I for having survived driving it at speed?) Only 7,900 original owner, miles. One of one, magazine project car. Or do I have to wait another decade, or two?

I think my "li'l ole lady" 67 RS/SS 350 Camaro qualifies as a survivor. Even the license plates and frames are the originals from the selling dealer:

Hi Steve. Thanks for the kind words but sorry, no, no plans to do the nationals again any time soon. Maybe when they have a west coast version?
