I can't tell you how many times I've heard that story and I'd guess that 90+% of the time, the tag never shows up. I've said to people; "well, when the tag shows up, call me....until then I'm not interested". You have a fighting shot of the tag showing up before the money changes hands...after that, not so much!

...luckily for you, you at least have the BS and a tag pic. I've made sure my tag doesn't "grow legs" and I've got pics and rubbings in a few locations just in case.

I had a convertible road runner that the prior owner told me the backyard body shop was the last people to have the tag. I called them two years after working on the car and offered them $100 if they would look. Within 30 minutes I got the call to come and get it. Drove up in a blizzard to go get it. Worth every penny. Not fun to pay twice for something you should have gotten anyway but it may be worth it. I had a smile on my face the whole way home. It was a 69 four speed, green runner with a tan interior, white accent stripe and hood blackout. Not to derail the post; if anyone knows of this car the original engine 383 engine is now for sale locally. I sold it to a guy in Texas named Sam.

Havnt been posting in a while but still been picking away at the car. Motor is almost done. Used a date coded block that came with the car. Nothing radical, but it has the stock rotating assembly, cant recall piston brand off hand but compression should be in the ball park of upper 9's. Cam is a mopar performance purple cam, and it going to run 452 heads with an original chrysler aluminum intake. Should be a tad better than stock anyway..

That's a pretty neat car. It's cool to see it come together. Makes me want to tear mine apart and start working. But I must resist.
Nice work!
