It is a nice car and I can appreciate the car but isn't survivor a designate for the overall originality of the car, drivetrain, body, paint....as built....it becomes a bit "gray" when you designate something that infers original but is not. I know the intent was not to represent the paint as "factory" but by saying "survivor", are you not inferring the same thing.
I guess it just gets to be hard to navigate when people start developing their own language rather than saying one repaint in 1969....just my two cents, not looking to stir the pot, just putting it out there. |

While I agree that survivor is a term that should be protected and used properly, its not unreasonable for this seller to try and describe an impressive "surviving" 46 year old black repaint. That speaks volumes about the previous bodywork and the safe and dry storage it has had. The "1/2 quarters" statement showed there's no deception involved and there was just a bit of clarification in order. GLWS
