My opinion: is a restored car is a nut and bolt restoration to return the car back to the way it came out of the factory. a preservervation: is a car that only had repairs done as necessary over the years. including paint, but not to remove the cars original patina. ie: small dents, minor wear and tear of parts that are no longer as new condition. Ask 50 people and get 50 different answers. Original cars are just that: Original and untouched as they came from the factory/ dealer at the time.
