Default Re: 69 Z-28 survivor

------Hey!!! Survivor type cars are cool, no matter to what degree. Their coolness comes from what they can teach us about how to restore the cars that need restoration. Thats why Dave B of B/G fame started the original program. He saw (correctly) that people were restoring nice original cars simply because they wanted them perfect for judging purposes. He wanted a way to honor original cars so as to keep original cars around. I think that the various different survivor type judgings (B/G, NCRS, etc.) have done a huge amount for the continued expanding of quality restorations that seem to show up around the country.
------Now as to weather this Camaro is a survivor or not, I hate to play the middle ground but it just depends on your outlook. Hey its still around and hasnt been crushed so it has survived a lot!!!........Bill S
