....a survivor shows up.

Love it!

That is sooo true!!!! I had one survivor & 9 #1 restored cars in my building. Visitors walked right past the restored cars like they didn't exist - headed directly to the survivor. I love to look at survivors, but I prefer restored cars in my collection - JMHO.

Saw a preview pic of the blue Daytona on Instagram... awesome!

Matt, your pic reminds me of this series. I didn't take a shot of the people but same applied.

I have restored cars because they were a cool combo but needed to be done....and that's fine......but I'll take a great survivor any day.....because somehow - they survived. And they are great references for helping others get their cars "right".

They are few & far between and stand out among restored cars.As well as teach us all.
I see them as a nice way to cleanse the pallet,as you walk among a room full of restored cars,which there are far more of today.
Everyone has different preferences,but over the long run till I die,I'd personally take owning & driving a restored car for it's durability/reliability to enjoy more.

Well said Rick. &quot;...cleanse the pallet,...&quot; I envision the &quot;cleansing&quot; of the pallet with mud, dust, cob webs, etc.! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

My survivor 1970 Trans Am is revealing secrets the more I work on it. Very cool original car

Cool huh? I love finding that kind of stuff....and sharing for the hobby. It's like an archaeological dig!

As far as driving a restored over a good survivor......I generally find that the survivors drive a little better for some reason.....maybe it's because the factory assembled stuff has been bolted to each other for all these years resulting in a zen-like harmony thing......or maybe not - lol!

I think I'm bringing one of these to MCACN for Vintage certification...
