Absolutely not, if it's an exact copy of the original that you still own, nope. You can't fake a tag, try to get the VON number correct not to mention the option codes and lay out correct, good luck. Just like the butterscotch 71 HEMI Cuda automatic that is suppose to be auctioned at at MECUM next week, the cowl stamp is terrible and the fender tags are an awful attempt and totally fake.

If it’s exact, identical, letter for letter, tell me how you could tell the difference? I have talked with people, he has the original dies and stamps that were used. He only makes one IF it has a build sheet, ibm card or original rusted or damaged tag.

It's not about telling the difference. In my book, every tag is a unique piece - they only made one. If someone makes an exact copy of an old painting, using the exact materials that the original artist used - do you consider it as a fake or a reproduction?
I think it depends on your definition of a tag being fake. Does it mean the information on it ist wrong or does it mean it's not the original tag. There are different opinions on that matter.
