Is this going to be the new trend... show pictures of a filthy dirty car to make it look like a preserved "garage find" so that no one questions the originality?

Does the tag appear too sharp, fresh and crisp to you guys ?

the tag stamps appear all concise as if stamped at 1 time instead of a tag pulled pre stamped from Fisher , then code stamped ,,, ?
If I'm not mistaken every real tag I've seen actually has 2 definite depths &amp; thickness variations on the code digits.....true ?
Looks like a completely different color and texture than the firewall too, with no tape or masking telltales.....are my eyes that good or that bad ?

Grumpys car was probably the third L78. The # 1 and 2 Pace cars were built before it. The # 2 car might be the first. As I recall CRG also agrees that the Pace Cars were built before Grumpys.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: luzl78</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I stand corrected. Has grumps 67 l78 been found?</div></div>

Isn't that the Kimball Bros. car that Grump sold them right after the 67 season?
That was totally restored by the Kimball's and was at Carlisle a few years ago.
Car has been sold for big money I believe. I think one of the Bros. just passed away.
Correct me if I am wrong on this.

I personally looked at this car on the way home from Mcacn on Monday morning. Thanks to Steve for stopping me as I was going to buy it. A few things didn't add up but I thought the tag was real. After speaking with him I started to figure things out. It was a nice car with the work that was done so far.
