This car is on eBay at the moment and in the mid-30's. As for trim tag replacement, doesn't the guy at trimtags.com tell you how to do the rivets, etc., so that it looks factory? This one sure does have tell-tale 'hit' rings around the rivets. Hmmm.

Joe you think it's a repo? I have seen some repops and they are horrible quality. Looks legit to me. I would think this tag was a case of "bought it off ebay". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Rivets do pop out. One of the rivets on our blue 67 coupe looks like that.

If everything else matches, I don't think you can automatically assume its been retagged. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I'm not tag expert, nor have I ever claimed to be, but according to Jerry MacNeish's Difinitive 1969 Camaro Z/28 Fact book, an 11A car should have the early style (smaller) tag, with no X codes. Has anyone ever seen an 11A car with a late style tag/X code?

Duh... thats a late 69 car not an early one...I forget that they built the 69 Camaro so late into the year...The car was built in Novemeber 69 not November 68. As I said, I'm no tag expert, and just realized my error... the tag is likely legit, looks to have been removed/reinstalled, but the tag itself seems ok.

There's quite a few things wrong with this car and I think it's a rebody from an early car. That trim tag had been reinstalled and the outline below it matches the early style tag. I would check this over very closely before buying.

The tag itself is real and has been removed from the (a) car and reinstalled on the car. The outline on the firewall below it does match the shape of an early (pre december 68) tag. Hope whoever is bidding on it does their homework.

if the car is a possible fake z then it will not have a X3 or X7 behind the rear seat on the pass side in yellow chalk. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Gents...In all do respect,

I've never seen 69 Norwood rivets that look like that.

They look bogus to me!
