Buying/Selling Firewall Tags......

[kenham]

no

[Verne_Frantz]

Nope. But then I don't suppose they'd sell for $900. apiece either.

What about a legal body swap because your 67 ss was a rusted out old bucket and you found a solid donor 67?

you changed both vin and trim and had both cars properly inspected.

You guys really think that 905 dollar auction for the trim tag (NOR308130) was real? Cause the tag was a repro, someones going to be pissed off.

Heres the first of 2 auctions for the same tag:

If Dick Wad has a bad disease that will render all his vital organs useless in the next 6 months and Richard Wadsworth was in a fatel car accident and was wearing a donar card and all his vital organs were donated to Dick Wad,,,,,,he's still Dick Wad!

Someone please explain how to tell a real trim tag from a re-pop

[Mark_C]

Most obvious sign is a tag that looks like it's never been painted (stated only half facitiously). The tag was on the firewall almost as soon as there was a firewall. But seriously, there are significant differences and hopefully the repro'ers won't figure them all out any time soon. Look at the current thread on the Orange "COPO" in the for sale section, there are two identical tags associated with the car, both can't be original.

Good question Bob......I'd like to know myself.

Lately, I've been 'eye-balling' the tag rivets real close.

[Belair62]

I can see not posting that stuff though...

You could just PM Belair with the clues as how to tell.

I hear that he's starting a new business soon...
