I have owned this car for 18 years ('71 Challenger). The dash pad was changed before I got the car. I"ve made several changes to the car. Planning to redo the dash and realized Vin tag is missing.


I agree there's a LOT of fraud out there & greedy, dishonest people who don't think twice about rebodys. I got ripped off by a guy in NY who sold me a 70 Hemi block, crank & heads that were "pristine stock, original & matching", only to find it was an ex-alcohol, grout filled
race block w/ old, cracked heads. Only got compensation 2 yrs later when I read an article about him swapping the VIN on his N code cuda to an R code hemi & selling it for $80 g's. Luckily, he got busted for it & another car, too BECAUSE, a Moparts member caught it on ebay. But if the author to this post or anyone else is truly legit & lost his tag AND it can be documented that the car is truly what the VIN says, I can understand the need for a repop tag.

Because of my own folly, I lost the vin to my 69 RT/SE Charger & after putting $40K into the project, I had to sell it yrs later, to realize
either my old resto guy or myself, lost the VIN. I told the buyer I lost the tag & was totally up front. I called Data Tags & he made me contact the local Hwy Patrol to verify & inspect the car & write a letter on their letterhead, that its ok w/ them for restoration purposes only, if he makes a repop tag. I'm still looking for the original tag & believe I will find it, but since I had all the documentation the charger is truly what the #'s say & had 2 other "authorities" (hwy patrol mopar guy &a mopar restoration specialist verify its authenticity, I'm ok w/ the repop tag.
I want to protect our hobby & vintage Mopars as much as you all, but
I can see rare instances where it might be ok.







If you have the title, and the cowl numbers are the same, contact www.datatags.com you may have a few hoops to jump thru to possibly obtaining a vin tag

DON"T post or PM your VIN on this forum or any other by those requesting it to "help" you
