DISCLAIMER: This is my own personal opinion.
Here is my take on 3 levels of the term "Survivor Car".
Time Capsule - A vehicle that was been well preserved and still attains 95 - 100% of its original born with components.
Relic - A vehicle that has been discovered after a length of time that still has many of its original components but is in need of repair or refurbishing to make it safe and/or driveable.
Unrestored Original - A vehicle that has been maintained and enjoyed over the years and still has at least 80-95% of its original components.
One could break these down further but this is how I classify "survivor" cars.
EDIT:
I pulled this from Steve's Vintage Certification Form.
Vintage Certifications are divided into five award levels:
• Vintage Time Capsule -Vehicles that are 95+% unrestored in all areas
• Vintage Legend - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in all areas.
• Vintage Heritage - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in five areas
• Vintage Legacy - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in four areas.
• Vintage Reference - Vehicles that are 85+% unrestored in at least two Vintage Reference Area.
