I agree that a survivor is a good thing. I offered $10k for a red WB Kingswood ute, 6cyk 4spd, air, steer, GTS dash, 100000km, original owner. This was just before I bought the prem. All I would have done is put a 253 in it, rest was perfect. The V8 one I valued at $2k was only worth $2k max as it needed $10k in work: dents, paint etc. I would have wrecked it out though.
