If I bought a 3,000 mile survivor today, and then installed vintage NOS &quot;Day 2&quot; parts, would it then technically be considered genuine Day 2 since the car was never modded until that point in time? </div></div>No I dont believe so Matt...You have to remember these were times when you made the car your own with your personality all over it like writing names and phrases on the fenders and putting the performance parts you like the best ETC I don think sammy was trying to start anything but he remembers the good ole days and us old timers who was there still likes when a genuine Day 2 car is found in a barn or old garage and brings back the memories on how we streetraced and hung out thats all..I think its a nice testamint to those who want to replicate a time gone by but theres nothing like finding a real day 2 car that was beat the snot out of and ruled the streets in your hometown...Hope im not pissing anyone off but thats how i feel..

So we have As Found restored to day 2/raced ? Which is one side of the fence that's cool .As found as survivor (except the mouse piss smell)That's cool (I will tell you i am not looking for a 30 year old mouse to replace the smell in my latest find )Then their is oem restored that is also cool .. So tell me what is the wrong why to enjoy and save these cars ?

&quot;Except my opinion and my pinion only to take a car with race history or history and put it back to stock &quot;
Take Big willy of the LA street racers Super birds or the Red Alert chevelle etc etc.Think these kids cared if or were their cars fell?

Too many cool old race cars fall under the knife anymore for restoration cough cough the green copo Camaro cough cough

Thats because non car guys think they need everything shiny. Strip all history from the vehicle. Some things/cars need attention but many do not and in my opinion should be preserved if at all possible.

That's ridiculous Don. You're cutting down current generations and those yet to come who live and breath this stuff. The original day-2 cars are near impossible to find as is. Classifying good, honest cars turned into a &quot;day-2&quot; car today as clones because they were not such when new is asinine. I'm surprised more folk on this site who frequent this section of the forum are not offended.

Dan, these are just opinions. NOTHING wrong with the Day-2 themes of today. My Z is a an example of that. Its just a correct Day-2 clone in my opinion. Everything on my Z that is day-2 was put on by me. In that case my car is a Day-2 replica because I did the conversion 40 years after it was born. Again I will pick on Sam Griffith's car, My Z even with all the correct stuff, can't compete with a car like his or a Deuce like Schoenthaler's for a &quot;real Day-2&quot; title. How about the black Motion 69 camaro that we saw in Chicago a year or so ago. Another great example. They are truly Day-2 IMO. Dan, as always keep the opinions and responses coming. At least we all love the Day-2 theme and what it stands for.
