Re: Proof that no one cares about a restored car when
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.

Re: Proof that no one cares about a restored car when
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".

Re: Proof that no one cares about a restored car when
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. "...cleanse the pallet,..." I envision the "cleansing" of the pallet with mud, dust, cob webs, etc.! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Proof that no one cares about a restored car when
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... http://www.moparaction.com/Article/JIMS_BIRD/index.html http://www.moparaction.com/Article/G...X-CELLENT.html
