Just wondering if you guys see anything fishy with this tag. Look like a repop or original?

The C in FC7 looks odd.

lots of problems with that FAKE tag

no sign off or inspection stamp.

Any chance that is the (fake) tag for the car on ebay right now? Got any more pics of it you can post?

When I get home tonight I'll fire up an old pc and dig out the photos and vin.

I saw this auction too and I think the car in question used to be owned by my dead buddy Mike. There is a picture of it in pic archives "show your face" thread". See attached pic before the shaker and hemi when on.

If this is in fact the car I am thinking of then it DEFINITELY DID NOT HAVE A FENDER TAG when he owned it.

I knew once the car changed hands down the road it would show up with a tag someday, not many N code 70 Barracuda verts out there. If this is the same car then it was restored by a guy named Mike from OH (he was a member here). He said the car came out of FL as a basket case, originally blue/blue and from what he could tell during the resto, there was an original appearing 4-speed hump in the car. The car only had a vin tag at the time and there was no way to verify the 4-speed option 100%. Too many other detail here make me think its the same car like the tuff wheel, wood grain door inserts (they are blue underneath) and the seat covers without medallions (like the GC) and the same fat BF goodriches in the rear. right before he died he installed a hemi and shaker from the guy in NM. Also had the luggage rack and pedal dress-up trim.

Might not be the same car but I'd be really surprised. I'll post more later.

EDIT
Ok I checked the auction again and saw all the additional pictures. I don't remember the incorrect fender Barracuda emblems, but the Mopar Nats decals are ringing a bell. Im pretty sure this is the same car but I'll dig out some photographic proof later tonight.

Yes that is the one. I have been in contact with the "used car" guy that is trying to sell this car.
Of course when I asked him if he had a build sheet for the car, since the tag was obviously a fake one, he said "the car was a real 4 speed car and that the FC7 and the white interior was the original and there wasn't a build sheet. I don't know if the tag is original or not".

I told him that he now KNOWS that the tag is fake and not an original. I also said the only thing that can be known for sure about this car without the build sheet and original tag was that it was a convertible and a 383 car.

The reserve is $105,000.00. I made him a reasonable offer for what the car is which is a nice vert with an added Hemi and a lot of cool options painted in FC7. He thinks he is going to get his $100,000. The auction is stalled around $55,000 right now and I offered him quite a bit more than that.

I am glad someone might be able to shed some light on this car. I hope you can come up with the VIN and any additional information on it's past.

Here is his latest response:
"originally a 383 car w a 1968 Hemi installed,, did not know about the tag but doesn't matter much to us,"

At least he was honest with his response.

That's not a Barracuda (BH) "H6XW" interior, if the woodgrain inserts in the door panels were there before restoration - they and what other parts came from another car. Seat covers are Gran Coupe (BP) ONLY pattern/style "P6XW".

According to Erik just about all the parts came from other cars.
The dealer just said "we are selling this car as a tribute"
You mean a pieced together hot rod. A cool looking one though.

Definitely not a H6XW interior but was on the car when Mike in OH restored it and also when Mike in NY bought it. I took the rear interior panels off that car one day and they were original blue dyed white.

Pretty sure my buddy bought it around 04-06, cant remember crap but he paid 40K for it and it had a nice 383 with a six-barrel setup.

I hope I can find the pictures of the car when it was on a rotisserie and to be accurate and fair I don't really know first hand how much rust repair had to be done. Probably the typical sheet metal but it wast wrecked or anything from the pics I saw when it was stripped.

Aside from the fender tag nonsense, it was a damn nice car! Very nice bodywork/paint. I'd be be happy to own it. I drove the car a few times and it was a blast, wished it was mine.

found some of the old pics, it's the same car. Somehow it gained a fender tag once Mike's widow sold it.

no tag, pic 2
