Ok ..From A to Y B41 B51 C16 D34 D53 E87 G11 J46 J81 N96 R33 R36 S77 VX1 V6X W23 Y14 T86 There are no A (group) codes. The sticker price for this 71 Challenger was $4752.05 Funny thing about this car is the OPEN 323 rear .It must have been a handful on a rainy day.
If that's what GG gave you for codes you need to ask for your money back
D34 would not be correct. Yikes...my typin is no good actually the codes are B41 B51 C19 C55 C93 F25 F96 G11 G41 J11 J15 J21 J25 J31 J46 J81 L76 M21 M26 N41 N42 N85 N96 R36 R33S15 S25S77 S81 W23...
Also there are codes that would have to be there that you don't have listed. Are you holding out? I see on the left side of the printout E87 D32 D53 T86 V01 V1X GY3 V6X TX8 Those are all the 3 letter codes
If you can email me a copy of your broadcast sheet I can probably help you.

Based on the info you provided your tag would look like this. However I still think you are holding back a code or two that might make people question the tag. All the lower case stuff are things you have not provided.
PS: I know all you "experts" can ID a repo tag.
That one will stick out like a sore thumb ...
Please enlighten us
I could tell you the two things that "might" be wrong with it, but let's see your knowledge of 71 tags.

Why does it have M21 twice?
Obviously this isn't something you should be doing while enjoying an adult beverage
That would be a mistake

In my opinion, a reproduction tag can cast doubt on an otherwise honest car down the road. If you have a lot of other documentation, the repro tag adds nothing to the value. It might make you feel warm and fuzzy as the current owner, but it will be spotted a mile away.
@theshakerproject: If you really want to have a tag in your enginebay: Let the fake tag being produced but instead of the last six digits of your VIN in the lower right bottom let there be "repro" stamped in. In that case everyone knows it is not original, including the novices. And you have told it the spectator without waking doubts of your car or intentions.

Whenever I see a reproduction tag on a car that the owner is trying to pass off as the original tag, I assume that the block and trans have also been restamped and are not original.
From a Seller's perspective I disagree--here's why: Lack of a tag on a car is an immediate turn off to a LOT of potential buyers, in terms of a V-Code E-body easily the MAJORITY of potential buyers. You've just severely restricted the demand right there.
Now put on well-made FAKE/REPRO whatever tag and you've just satisfied SOME of the above turn-off buyers. Not everyone will spot a fake tag, and in fact I would venture that only a minority of people will.
As far as someone who MAY have been interested in a no-tag car, but not interested in a Fake/Repro tag car--they are miniscule in percentage. If you care that much about the tag (and I do) then the fact its gone is a deal-killer already.

A missing FT is only a deal killer to me if there is no BS; with a sheet, the missing tag is less of a big deal....to me anyway. I've always said that despite the fact the FT has less info on it, it is part of the car and the BS isn't....given the choice, I'll take the original FT/no BS car over it's inverse.....but either is acceptable to me. This thread has made me think: I've always said that despite my dislike for fake and fraudulent documentation that I'd consider a repop FT *IF* there was enough original documentation to back it up...but I'm finding myself leaning towards some that have expressed the opinion that a repop tag raises too many questions and taints the car without adding much to the car..... I guess it's about "lines in the sand" and where your comfort level is. For me: - no original tag or BS = no repop tag - have BS, missing FT = maybe repop tag - have a rusty but legible FT or pics of original tag = yep, i'd do it I have dozens of pics of my original FT as well as a couple pencil rubbings.....if my original went AWOL, I'd get a duplicate made.

I thought I wrote this myself. My thoughts completely. I am a numbers geek and love broadcast sheets, but if I had a choice over the two, would take an original fender tag for all the reasons above. Also the reason I hold original documentation so highly. I wonder what the masses would prefer if we had a poll?
Rick.

I think is funny when people say their OPINION could hurt or taint the value of any car. Thats just plain B.S. !!! The value of most anything, cars included, is based on opinion. Some people's opinion on the value of an item carries more weight than others. One person's negative opinion on the value of a car can hurt it.
Im not trying to add any value or fool anybody by reproducing a fender tag . At least be honest. Of course you are fooling someone. You want to put one on your car to make think people it's the original.
These day, with all the social media aviliable to check out a fender tag or other documentation, I think it would be difficult to still get fooled. EVERY high end restored collecter car these day should be suspect and should be checked out using all avail resources befor purchase. High end collectors sure....the average Joe. No. the average Joe believes it's the original.
BTW, most of the info I needed to format a tag for my Lynch RD car was in the 70-71 parts book. Page 6 only shows a generic layout. It's not specific to LR. Is there another page in the parts book I'm missing?
What was coded, when it was coded and where it was coded on the tag changed during the year. From what I can tell, there are at least three different code change layouts to the 70 LR tag.
