What does 'Survivor Car' Mean?

Ok, now having thinking about it a while....


A TRUE SURVIVOR car is supposed to be low miles, as close to how it came off the factory assembly line as possible. These cars are supposed to be so close to "original" that they should be fully documented and complete pictures taken for others to use a reference to restore a similiar car back to its factory original condition. NOTHING MODIFIED.

Some of them still have original belts and hoses. (not all of them may have original belts and hoses as they are a regular maintenance item). These cars are supposed to be used to document how they were built at the factory. Any special "marks" on parts or places with paint pens. (these marks are usually from a special inspection and used to indicate that it was certified as ok).


Barn finds are allowed to have more modifications and higher miles, but still in good condition (with a deep clean up).
