I have always said the only thing my car "survived" was a severe thrashing by young owners over its first 6 years. By 1975, looked like more of a beater.
As for the OP's original question, I believe the answer is that it already has spilled over into the muscle car market. As Bill so aptly pointed out, there is a limited market for the "survivor" that is rough around the edges. Cars like Roy Sinor's 68 Camaro SS, and Charley's 70 Z/28 are so well preserved, they did much more than just survive. Those cars and others like them, if ever sold, will bring more than a perfectly restored car, IMHO.
