Re: 1969 CHEVELLE L-78 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE
Looks like a cool car, including the F-41 suspension option. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 CHEVELLE L-78 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE
I'll just toss my opinion in on the definition of a "survivor" car. It's a car that retains it's original mechanicals(drivetrain), body panels, interior and paint. Any touchup or repair and it no longer fits the survivor definition. I'm not saying anything against this car, it's awesome. But a true survivor IMO is a car that has not been touched at all.

Re: 1969 CHEVELLE L-78 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE
I agree with you. There are true survivor cars like you describe. It really does have to do with numbers as well. I love to see unmolested original everything cars, but we all know they are few and far between.Lets look at NCRS,How can they award a survivor certificate to a big block mid year that is displayed with the pictures of it being raced, completely color changed ,engine modified, then returned back to original colors( with over spray of the other color every where), orig paint valve covers off another car installed along with manifolds and other important items and call this car as well as certify it original. they do and have done it. I think alot has to do with just how much is untouched, divided across the whole car. Thanks Jim

Doesn't a survivor car have to have something like 70 percent original paint? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 CHEVELLE L-78 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE
"Survivor" is pretty much a made up category so there really isn't a true definition across the board for all makes/models. True survivors are very rare and I can see why they wouldn't get driven too often. Kind of like NOS parts are no longer NOS once you put them on the car and fire it up!

Re: 1969 CHEVELLE L-78 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE
If I am not mistaking in the Corvette world a survivor has to have two out of the three following items original and in above average condition. Drivetrain, interior or paint I believe the gold L-78 conv Camaro definetley fits that description.
