Survivor vs Restored

[Steve Shauger]

The intent of this forum is to discuss and promote unrestored cars. There is a restoration forum where restorations should be discussed. As the saying goes "you can restore a car over and over but they are only original once". Some us like them bruises and all.

Please keep restoration discussion in the appropriate forums moving forward.

I love and own both restored and unrestored cars, but when a car like Skip's orange 69 Z, was found it blew my mind. To me there is nothing like a well preserved time capsule. Factory quality, flaws and all, they just get me excited.

Scott,

So sorry for your loss.....that is great advice you give. I spent all day with my parents yesterday. I taking nothing for granted, cherish these days.

May Dad RIP.

I wouldnt hold my breath on someone selling you the car back knowing itll get restored without you forking over crazy stupid money for the car.. We need a survivor preservation protection act in place.. Time to write the Senate and Representatives..

if that car is original paint, then i would seriously be interested in purchasing it and NOT restoring it.

dead serious on this one. i'd love to have it just like it is...and keep her that way [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

She's original paint. I had it posted here for sale Forever. A couple of years ago, and No One would write a check for her in the $60K range. I finally sold it with a combo of carsonline and ebay. I believe it traded hands again last year. for the same $60K.

never saw it, but probably before i got on this site. post your for sale link on here, if you don't care, or pm it to me.

depending on the other details on the car, i very well might be interested now, and would have been then.

Paceme .... I am a bit confused ... the title of this thread is &quot;Survivor or Restored&quot; and we were discussing that ... we will not be posting any restoration photos, or discussing the cars restoration... we will however share original photos of the car to assist anyone that wants to see original documentation that may be helpful.

Cheers.

Pusher Man ..... Kens Z 28 was a very cool Survivor, however the paint was not very good .... and the interior smelled horrible [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Mostly rust free though and very cool. It was sold about a year ago ... we are looking for it as it would be a great car to restore and needs it ... lots of spot painting, etc.....

Silver paint on 69's never did hold up very well. They tend to look like crap.

thanks for the info guys. i was curious as to other aspects of the car, and didn't want to take up space asking those questions if they were already pointed out on the site in the for sale section.
