SURVIVOR

This word has many meanings to many people. Brokers use it as a tool to
fetch more dollars from a vehicle. Others use it as a judging feature at
shows.
I have criteria which I established fifteen years ago when I created MOPAR
SURVIVORS Invitational Displays. All vehicles that are intact today are
survivors; however, I had to develop a category that would best represent
what I was trying to do. I am always looking for candidates to attend the
8-10 shows I attend each season.
Attached is the criteria that I developed for these displays.

The term "survivor' gets tossed around like the term " Barn Find" .
Somehow barnfind sounds cooler than "found in an un-used garage."
