I always find this topic humorist and usually hypocritical too. So what else on the car is a forgery. The restoration of the alternator and the stamping of diodes, the Voltage regulator and all the other ink stamp, labels and date code stamps used to make it look original? Carburetor parts? The actual paint, let alone reproduction parts made overseas with part numbers cast in? You name it and it is copied, and detailed to look OEM new. But they are "accepted" forgeries. So that is ok. The Data tag is not in the hobby. The paper work is king, how the data tag became such a thing, is a little bizarre to me since it was exposed metal and can easily be rusted or removed and lost.
