Survivor...?

i believe survivor means "untouched" but still looks new. meaning it still has the orginal paint engine ect. it would be hard for me to mod a survivor car, this is one reason i bought my 64 dart gt convertible. shes a solid car but was already being "restored" when i bought her. some people would say restore it to orginal, but i didnt buy this car to just take to car shows. im updating my 64 with more modern day stuff. i just ordered the Alterktion unit from RMS with mounts for the new 5.7/6.1 style hemis, it gives me coil overs and rack and pinion,im gonna use buckets from a 66 A-body (love those plastic back covers and trim), and a tko 500 5 speed tranny, also changing to all wheel disc brakes and it will be fuel injected. lots of work, lots of money, and lots of headaches im sure, but i want my car to be different than anyone elses. sure i could have restored it to original, but it would never be a survivor (sense it was restored). besides, unless your into buying and selling cars to make a profit i say do it how you want it. you say people tell you "dont touch it, leave it original", i ask what do you want to do with it? in the end your the one driving her on the road, so if your not completely happy with her and want to make mods, then do so. if you like hearing people say "keep her original" then keep er original.
