YES THE SIGNATURE IS REAL. 30 TACHS WERE SIGNED BY DALE BEFORE THE CARS WERE ASSEMBLED. MINE HAS A SCRATCH THROUGH IT. THE DEALERSHIP DID HAVE A DELIVERY OPTION FOR AROUND 1K THAT DID INCLUDE A TOUR OF HIS FACILITY, ETC. THAT WAS NIXED AFTER HIS DEATH. TOO BAD, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NEAT.CHARLEY, BOTH THESE AND BERGERS WERE CONVERTED BY AN OUTFIT IN ATLANTA, GA.
