When I read "An authentic stock survivor, this LE has never been restored, only maintained to continue to be driven with its 1974 Duval tag" I thought about contacting Tommy to ask what's up. Pretty sure he knows it is not a survivor and doesn't have its original engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Maybe he's going off the number of cars in the registry as the number of survivors?

BTW...his car has (or had) a salvage title as well

Jamie did a nice job fixing up that car but I remember it even had a salvage title at one time. The current owners identity is tied to the car so saying anything negative results in a tantrum. After the concours debacle, he gathered up his toys and went home.

I remember that repair! Jeff Hines (sixnotfour) did an amazing weld job in @914Werke driveway...at night! He even got the screw holes for the wart to line up.

Pretty sure you’re right since he mentions reading Jamie’s ‘restoration thread’ in the for sale thread that mepstien linked.

I have spent a lot of time the past year wrenching on this car with Tommy. I can tell you it has never been restored by any reasonable definition of the word restored. It was repaired well and painted. I wouldn’t have described it as a survivor but whats the definition of survivor? I would call my car a survivor but it’s been resprayed to freshen up the paint so some would disagree. Tommy is a great guy and described his car the way the thought fit. Why drag out a negative post when asking about production numbers. Hopefully that post goes away forever.

What is your definition of restored? I think it may differ considerably from many of us on here.

My definition of restored would be a car disassembled and put back together like new. Tommy’s car was painted and nicely sorted.

If they are still alive then they are survivors.

car is nice but the write-up can easily be misunderstood.

“An authentic stock survivor, this LE has never been restored, only maintained to continue to be driven with its 1974 Duval tag.”

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) perhaps we can spend time parsing the word “maintained” (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
