Well, I have been involved for many years, and have parted about 200 Mopars... I even have a pretty big collection of tags around.
This is a bit of a re-hash, but I think the first thing is to listen to your 'gut'. Having explored all manner of Mopars in salvage yards for 20-30 years, it's nothing more than a gut feeling you get when looking at a fender or VIN tag.
If your gut feels uncomfortable, you go from there: Ask questions and see what verifying information comes up from the seller/owner.
(So far, my "gut" has been put to the test only once, when my brother got interested in a really mint silver-with-red-stripe-and-red-interior '68 Dodge Charger R/T for $54k. He emailed me a pic of the tag and it was simply too perfect. Granted, the car had been restored but the F.tag's metal was too good - no wrinkle at the corner, no marring, dings, scuffs. Enough to ask a lot of q's. The owner was a flipper, looked into it seriously and was humble enough to admit defeat when the stampings elsewhere didn't match up hardly at all.)
