Well all I can say is I didnt know it was such a bad thing when I had Galen make my tag for my Challenger over 9 years ago from its original build sheet. Hind sight being 20/20 I wish I hadnt had it made at all now with all the problems it has caused. I know now that I will never be able to make a tag or correctly or be abel to documnet my roadrunner so that is ok with me.
What is not ok is because of me making a unknowingly bad decision years ago, now I am not allowed to know anything about my 70 Roadrunner's dealership info that is on the Hamtrack registry and run by Barry Washington. I also know that whatever dealer ship info there is such as the dealer who sold the car or who bought the car dosent go on a fender tag anyway and see no way it could help me to be a disohnest person. I have been black listed for being ignorant to this whole tag issue. I never had any bad intentions and still dont.

so let me guess,that challenger fender tag (the ragged one or a repop tag) will be winding up on a different challenger,restored as a 440-6 R/T?????? and i suppose it will still be the original car? lolol. right.
Sorry,the tag is all thats left.If you want to make a big deal out of it enjoy,here is the whole thing.You'll play h#ll ever finding any remnants of any thing else that was ever connected to it.Knock yourself out!

The Hemmings article link below talks about that black Hemicuda that was sold at B-J for $801K and was being investigated, anyone know the outcome? Quote:
I understand your predicament & hope you can find your original. I started a resto 5 yrs ago on my 68 383, 4spd Formula S & misplaced the tag or my mechanic did. Either way, I've got to find the original & even though I have the build sheet, I won't buy a ropop fender tag. The repops look fake to the discerning eye, anyway, & a few yrs ago, my bro bought a $42K, rotiserrie restored 68 GTX from a very 'reputable' dealer & resto shop that was a fake. He didn't know it until 6 mos after he sold the car to put his daughter thru college. Now, after looking at the tag, I can see its a fake. I'd never buy a car from this dealer & certainly question his reputation whether he know about it or not.
I agree, it depends on intent, but I certainly understand Barry's stand. Don't get me wrong, I'm in NO way accusing you of being dishonest, nor demeaning your intent with the following link. This article is exactly why, I believe, Barry feels the way he does. I was a victim of this guy who sold me a damaged 70 hemi block & crank & only found recourse by adding it to this lawsuit, because Barry & another Moparts member saw Pappas's ad on ebay & Hemmings & knew he was selling a fake &posted it on cuda chllenger.com.
Hats off to Barry & Aaron who noticed his tag & vin plate were fakes & posted it on the net. Here's the link http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2006/07/01/hmn_feature16.html
I was going to make a tag on my hemi challenger clone & put OH MANGO Kick ass Hemi, on the bottom line, but never did.
Anyway, best of luck finding your tag.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I only read that the car was sold from a guy in San Jose CA to a Canadian, where did BJ come into it?

wonder how many folks actually read that article and let it sink in?
there are lots of people out there,with a rust-bucket,roadrunner/charger r/t,etc. that still think that taking that engine/trans,VIN tag/fender tag/body numbers and put them on a rust free satellite,base charger,and claim " i am saving a vauable car",or some other stupid excuse,that still don't get that it is illegal,wrong,and still a fake. no other way around it. call it what you want. READ ARTICLE ABOVE. ILLEGAL.

Ah the old memory still not working too well. I am talking about the black rebody that sold at B-J, maybe it was a black 71 for $600K, that sound familair?
Thought it was a 70 and Galen outed it at circus d' sand and some   still paid 600K for it ...
