So from what I have been reading on here if I am right a survivor car is a stock or mostly stock, not restored that is in good or better condition? Does that sound right?

I see a survivor as a car that has travelled low to medium miles with original paint that has been well loved by previous 2 long time owners say and presents well ,we are seeing cars being put into this definition by dealers who don't know these cars and are being less that accurate because they don't know.
This is quickly picked up by members in the "know" on here...like that as it helps buyers.
Brad for example sells cars that fit into the "survivor " description because to me they fit the above specs and serviced pre-sale as are many members cars on the FS section and generally priced well.
My cars very original low mileage except for a bunch of mods for 6 cyl application,in real terms a mongrel with lots of 911 parts and some 944 bits...don't care as none of my cars have ever been stock.
