1970 LS6 Chevelle Survivor?

[OneStopRestoration]

Wanted to share with everyone a find I just stumbled across. I managed to get connected with the owner of this incredible car. After meeting and inspecting the car I was the lucky one to pull the back seat and find the build sheet authenticating the originality of the car. Please look through the additional pictures at the attached link. Im wondering what everyone thinks in regards to the fact does this car fall into survivor category? I know one thing If i bought it, I would not restored it.

Im doing a write up for the car as I plan to have it listed on ebay to make sure the owner can get the most out of it. The poor guy has some health problems and has been sitting on this car since the 80s.


History:
The current owner of the car purchased the car back in the 80s from a gentleman in Chillicothe IL. Car appears to have originated from the Chicago land area and according to the build sheet was sold at Brigance Chevrolet. The car has been off the road since the 80s in an insulated building. The original motor was hurt at some point in the cars life and is no longer with the car. According to the original owner the original transmission came with the car but as I have helped dig out and clean up the car we have yet to find it.

Condition:
The car was repainted prior to the 1980s. The engine bay, interior, trunk and underside are basically original and untouched with the exception of the air shocks in the rear. Rust seen in the pictures of the cars underside are mainly light scale. No heavy rot. Im rather amazed how good the quarter panels, trunk returns and general wheel well areas are. From what I can so no rot. Trunk is amazing with spatter paint still remaining. Absolutely NO rust. Interior is very good shape and with detailing could be made to look almost new. There is a tear in the front lower bench seat upholstery. The back seats and door panels are in really nice condition. Like many LS6 cars this one also includes factory MALIBU door panels. In taking the back seat out we did find the build sheet in very nice condition hog ringed to the seat frame. I was impressed to see seat springs with NO rust. They look as nice as the day they left the factory. Floor under the backseat is equally impressive with red overspray paint. The engine bay is very original. From the brake booster and master cylinder to the horns, voltage regulator, 4 core radiator, radiator top plate, core support, wiper motor and inner fenders all appear untouched and original.
