This Guy has a bucket of Cowl Tags

Yes Verne this is eBay's current policy but as in my previous posting, would they view anything differently if the were bombed daily by dozens of different account members voicing similar displeasure for specific items?.

Although the repercussions are great, maybe not enough of these tags actually sell on eBay to make it worth their while if they know they're riding a fine line of legality issues also are consistantly being peppered w/ report messages and obviously pissing off members...especially those who's purchases are substantial?.

Besides the problems these loose tags cause when affixed to cars, I can't help but want to try and help put a stop to these idiots popping tags off dead and project cars across the land as the moment they do, they've killed another car that may have been saved and if eBay did reject auctions of them, the sooner it may stop?.

Isn't it worth a try or do we just admit defeat, let the carnage of project cars continue and just hope we only read about legal issues that result?.

Maybe someday, we can only continue to press the issue with eBay. At least they kill auctions containing VINs and that's a start.

Evan Alan Colvin's books say he refuses to publish specific information on accessory codes on trim tags. Some GM tags have specific (and desireable) codes but many do not; some GM lines and plants do have accessory codes such as some (but not all plants) of the 64-67 Chevelle tags. Most of the time these codes are harmless enough and there are some that appear to be plant specific. Reproduction tags do come into play here from time to time such as a 66 L78 convertible initially being sold a couple of years ago. Problem was these codes showed a Powerglide transmission on the trim tag. Later the same car shows up with the trim tag showing a 4-speed. Same body date, job number, body number, interior and paint - but now group 2 shows "L" instead of "M" code.

While accessory codes can help build a bogus car, it can also find bogus cars like this 66 L78. Many other pieces of information such as engine/transmission casting numbers and dates are readily published to aid the building of a bogus car.

BTW, anyone with <u>known</u> data on some 64-67 group option codes for Chevelles, I would like to hear from you.
