The only thing missing is the dash mounted Uniden cell phone with the horn ringer alert.

Re: Old school "survivor"

Back in the day I used to work for a speed shop delivering parts.I used to drive by Santinis place everyday, saw a Lotta "cool" paint jobs for the day.I remember the first time i saw that car for sale.I think it was back in the very late 90s and the story hasn't really changed.It was purchased new, taken to santinis, painted and basically not driven much afterwards.I think the car was still in orange county (Ca) then.This is only the second time I've seen it for sale though, brought back some memories, but that paint has seen it's time come and go.Needs and update or just go full retro, I guess.

Re: Old school "survivor"

I wouldn't spend that kind of money for it, but if I did buy it, I'd leave it just like it is.

Re: Old school "survivor"

I am not sure why anyone would call this a "Survivor" To me a Survivor is a car that was unchanged from how it came off the semi onto the lot, not a repainted car with special graphics.
