What does 'Survivor Car' Mean?
It's supposed to be never restored and as close to stock as possible with no modifications that has been sitting for a long time.
And they usually like to call them "barn finds"....
But yeah, it could be another way for sellers to inflate the price. Just like the guys selling a generic small block part as a "340 part".... Yeah, it fits a 340... and a 360... and a 318... and a 273.... Not to be confused with parts like 68-70 340 exh manifolds, steel crank, the proper year carb for a 340, etc...
