No one who orders a "replica" trim tag, (except maybe for this one guy).
To use the exact information on their existing tag.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON CHANGES SOMETHING.

Whether it is the interior color, or paint color, or to make it a Z/28. or a big Block. There is a reason for doing it and it is not "usually" an honest one.

I know of a few Corvette guys who have every piece of original documentation on their cars. However years ago some idiot wanted to change to leather interior, or go from green to red. Back then it was not a big deal. NOW the cars have phoney trim tags on them. Can't get Gold at Bloomington. They are perfect cars but the pedigree is always questioned.
These were not documented changes, and no one has the original tags anymore - those cars are screwed.

WHEN YOU CHANGE SOMETHING IT ALWAYS COMES BACK AT YOU.
MIGHT TAKE 20 YEARS. BUT SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE.

The only purpose for a "replica" POP or Trim tag is to change something.
No other purpose, Nada / none.

It always starts out honestly, (a guy wants to change his car to leather interior)
It's his car he can do whatever he wants - RIGHT.
Well 20 years ago, no one could tell the difference.
Now 2 or 3 or 4 owners later, that car has a "repro tag" - even though it is a real car, and hasn't been changed except for the tag and interior- Someone gets screwed.
Usually it is the guy who doesn't know better, or is new to the hobby.

You don't know what your body number was, so you have to pick one. Someone may already have that one in use - sounds like a problem.

It is a no win situation, except for the guy who buys it from you and then makes money on it.

Someone earlier had sugested a tag with no body number, or maybe XXX's - I thought that is a good idea - I thought that is what GM used to do if the tag was damaged
