DOO....Duplicate of Original




It has a DOO DOO tag on it. Sounds good! They should make them add that right on the fake tags.

Easiest way to spot a fake tag is to put a picture of it on here. When the thread reaches 5 pages it's verified as fake.

He doesn't post here anymore. Shocking, huh? He got sued over the car, too.

I had no idea Tom had added that word to the profanity filter. I didn't think it was profane, which is why I used it. The filter does that automatically. It's not done by a mod.

No idea where he was from, or who the gy was "before that." I assume the guy in question lived on the East Coast, because that's where my car came from.

I don't recall if he pointed out the tag or not, but my car had the original tag, along with all of the matching #'s everywhere, and original paint except for the driver's door and quarter. The quarter had been replaced with an OEM skin years earlier as a result of a collision, but it was just a skin, so the trunk gutter and the number stamped on it were intact.

That's the real beauty of this forum and knowledgeable people with long memories. That car was in a Magazine where the 1/4 panel was discussed.
I believe a very famous expert owns it now unless he was your culprit.
Moparts and good people save the uninformed more times than hurt them.

I know Galen was about to save me many years ago from a Miami expert and in some circles respected seller!!!

Now to get closer to the topic I've had a tag made for a rusty one without changes even though the car was a color change by previous owner.
I've also had one made for a car with everything including 2 Broadcast sheets just so I didn't have to look at a bare inner fender.
It can become a problem as soon as less honest people come into the equation or when years pass though.

And your car will be blacklisted.

A guy on FBBO mistakenly posted a thread thinking his trunk drip rail VIN didn't match the rest of the body. Somehow it was handled well over there. He would have been tarred and feathered here and his car chopped and picked over for parts in no time here. Luckily for him he just looked at the wrong numbers.
