I'm a survivor!!!!
Following on from another thread.......
What constitutes a "Survivor"???
My '64 Polara is a one owner (apart from me) car, build sheet, completely standard, BUT, it has had one re-paint in its life, not sure if the air in the tyres are original....
Any views...

Lovely car Pete,BUT BORING,so what if its a survivor,its a Grannys car,Give the car what it deserves,Big block,Dana,the works,theres a million other Boring so called survivor cars.
Now if it was a 71 cuda 440+6 or Hemi blahdyblah,I would say that wants leaving as is,but saying that,I like the cool cars with some History.
Ive returned a few car from racer to stock,easy,its harder to make a slow car fast
Interestingly,My 1974 challenger,which as been a racecar from the day it rolled out of the plant,as 0000.7 miles on the speedo,used only for 4 years,then stored,until Dunc purchased it in 2017,would have been the easy to return to the stock,brown,318,auto,white interior,no rust to contend with,but that would have been boring too,so ive rebuilt it,as a racecar

Re: I'm a survivor!!!!
Yes, Dave but that car has a racing history - not many of the "Race" cars in this country have that... a slightly different scenario...
Anyway, the "SloPar" is the only car that I have that actually works!!

Great looking car, should be your daily at this time of year....
Re: I'm a survivor!!!!
Doesn't matter what you call it Pete, it's a lovely car. If it was mine I would leave it just the way it is. You already have a race car
Re: I'm a survivor!!!!
Actually I have a 440, A727, TTI Headers, and 12" Disc Brake set up just sitting here doing nothing at the moment.....
Now, if I only had a cross Ram manifold...

Re: I'm a survivor!!!!
I may have the odd crossram inlet lying about Pete ,how how many do you want ? MW or 440 ? Some heads to go with that sir ?
Jesus saves but satan does that thing with his tongue you like
Re: I'm a survivor!!!!
I am an under-achiever and it would only be a mere 440 standard port, old chap - it does not have to be matching numbers either!!

Re: I'm a survivor!!!!
I have a pair of matched Holley carbs brand new for a Mopar crossram manifold. I will dig out the list numbers if anyone’s interested.
