Unfortunately, we have seen beautiful unrestored low mileage originals whose owners couldn’t resist “touching up” the paint on some of the factory original components like the engine block, water pump, valve covers, accessories, radiator, shroud, and surrounding surfaces.  Then in order for the suspension and chassis not to look less than perfect, the owner “touches them up” as well.   By doing so, the historic fingerprints of both the Under Hood and Chassis have been unwittingly removed and thereby the car can never again pass at least 3 of the 4 areas required to be SURVIVOR Certified. One more has been forever lost from history.  And no amount of money can bring back those fingerprints or status as SURVIVOR.  (Adding insult to injury; everyone else’s unrestored originals have now become just a little more rare….)

Many people have contacted us with questions about their car or preservation in general.  Please click here to go to our Q & A page.
