One reason I always take a pic of the fender tag when I buy a car. Not the first time I have heard of this happening. Did you ask him if he had taken a picture? Sometimes people forget that they may have at one time.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Is it possible to find the info that was on the tag? He does NOT have a pic of the tag. I know they can be reproduced but need the numbers from somewhere. Some options: (Comments welcome). 1.) If your buddy has the Buildsheet / Broadcast sheet, that ought to have everything that the 67 fender tag would have listed on it. Not 100% sure, but that the gold standard. 2.) Start with the VIN RP23L7... and have your buddy list all the options he can recall. You can then "back into" what the Fendertag would have listed from those options: Body Color, Interior and Trim Color, etc.. Do you research about what Fendertags list for options. I don't recall how or if the Sequence number relates tp the VIN. Discuss the theft with police - in case it's used to clone a car. They shouldn't list your VIN as stolen, because then YOU'LL be identified as the thief if you get stopped and VIN checked. Best of luck, - Art

Another reason to have a reproduction on the car and the original in the garage.

I've heard of people using a small machine screw with nut on the bottom side to attach their fender tags. It looks stock from the top and it's almost impossible to steal at a show. That’s what I do on my 70 Cuda. Complete with nylocks. A thief’s head would be caved in before he could get the tag.

What kind of a-hole steals a fender tag...? Exactly. Tell the old fella to get a replacement tag that reads "TAG STOLEN AT YXZ CAR SHOW. REWARD FOR INFO LEADING TO THE SOB CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION." It takes a special kind of low-life to do such a thing...

It takes a special kind of low-life to do such a thing... UPDATE, I made a deal to buy the car I asked about. The current owner has been in contact with Chrysler Historical to get the IBM card info but was told sometime after the 1st of the year. It is 100% matching numbers and unaltered with 69,000 original miles. He had it repainted and new seat covers installed but no build sheet to be found.
