Curious... What's the proper definition here of a "survivor" Z?

I didn't even know there was an official category at the car shows.  I just use the word for any car that looks like it hasn't been modified, crashed, or rusted to bits.

That is as good as any it seem -     There are  Survivors at $50,000.00 to  $310,000.00 then there are survivors at $20,000.00 today.

I think of a survivor as one that's not been wrecked that has original paint, glass and interior. Rebuilt original motor passes too. That's just maintenance like tires and oil changes. My opinion only.

I hope they don't use the bumper mounts for towing that V8!

A slightly modded 73 240Z with a California Datsun engine.  Wonder what kind of parts it has inside.  It sounds decent.

A replacement L28 2.8-liter inline-six was reportedly sourced from California Datsun and installed in 2016.

260Z did not make the reserve.  $24,750.  Seller disappointed.

He shouldn't be, he was offered the going rate. https://bringatrailer.com/datsun/260z/?q=260z

It does look like the engine number was ground down and re-stamped:

Here's a couple other '73's for reference.  Notice the difference in the shape of the "1"?
