Why would you devalue a car because it is missing a a piece of metal that provides limited information at best?

Because an original fender tag provides, at least, minimal documentation and is one undisputable piece of evidence as to how the car was originally built and equipped. Remove it and everything that is listed on the tag comes into question. Color. Transmission. Options.

Not every car had or has a correct broadcast sheet or other documentation. EVERY car had a fender tag.

Is it the sole piece of documentation one should consider? No. Is it a very important piece? Yes.

Well said, Doug. After the VIN, bodystamps and title (which should definitely be there) the FT is THE most important documentation a Mopar has. I wouldn't let the lack of a tag stop me from buying a car IF it had a BS but it definitely has value. ....I'd much rather have the FT than a #'s engine.
