71 swinger windsor build. someone sprayed the engine compartment with undercoating early in its life, and underneath, I found this while cleaning it. Is this original? it appears to be a thick perforated paper that looks faded pink and was taped on.

it has smaller numbers below the letter

My '72 Scamp didn't have one...but I have seen that tag on at least one Windsor A body.

Cool!! I was hoping to see another one of those tags someday. Here's a couple pics of one I found on the front pass. side floor pan under the carpet on my old 71 Charger R/T 440 4 spd. Car was assembled at Lynch Road. The little tag also has an inspectors punch on it if you look close.
