Early repop tags are real easy to spot. :D

I love this color combo-
A guy from another rival high school had one just like this but with a white vinyl top.
Had some centerline wheels and basic bolt-ons, Chevy angle plug heads which were big bucks back then. (circa '82-'83). I had my green Z and Ed helped tune my car and taught me how to power-shift- man could he shift that orange Z fast!

**What are the visual clues on the repro trim tab? I'd probably get fooled looking at this car from the pics posted.

People are generally pretty tight lipped about what tips off a fake tag for fear that the forgers will learn from this and perfect their fakes. I think the font on the X77 is a pretty good tip-off on this one. I used to own a very similar car - HO with white stripes, black std interior. Mine was a January car, so no D80 after the X33.

This one is so bad that you could close your eyes and FEEL that it’s bogus.
