Could I get some opinions from fender tag experts please. I bought the car and enough of the numbers match that I'm happy it's a 4 speed, 440 SE. Just wondering about the codes on the tag. Just PM me if you like as I don't like people who might be making up tags to know what is wrong if something is wrong.
I won't be bummed out if the tag is made up in spots but I just want to know.

Thanks
Sheldon

A little birdy told me you bought this; congrats! :-)

Cheers,
Dave

I am by far no "Expert", but it looks good to me. You will need sunglasses when it drives by!

How about a picture of the backside of that tag ,please .

Did you get a broadcast sheet too ?

PM sent.

Here you go John.

Sheldon

Here was one that was on Ebay last year.

There were two machines in LA, so both fonts were used.........

Can you take a closer picture with a flash ?

It's way to dark and small to see anything clearly.

No flash, used trouble light John.

I think nobody wants to step on Sheldon's toes but I think its a repop.

My own belief is that it's a repop tag because of it's condition. I guess I'd like to know if the codes are plausible or not. I think if the codes were faked that they would have added something more interesting like a shaker or PW or something rare like that. As I said the car is cool enough by what can be proven, it's just I'd like to know an obvious fake code or sequence if there is one.

Thanks
Sheldon

Sheldon, I'd call A.G. Backeast who does most of the repop tags. Maybe if you email him a photo of it, he can tell you if he made it. Worth a try.

Here is a 0E A08

Here's another JS29U tag-

Why are there 2 of the same codes twice? V1W?
That could in itself, indicate its a real tag, as I don't know of anyone that would be making a fake tag, doing a replication of a code. I would have to know the exact condition of the car before restoration, before saying a tag is real or not. If the car has rust, and has a tag that nice, I would have to wonder a bit. If the car is rust free, then that tag seems to match that type of car. That car cant be from Chicago

Sometimes you can not go by the condition of the tag. I judge this on looking a many cars that have Battery acid all over that side with a lot of hood, fender, wiring, and tag damage and have perfect inner fenders on the right side. The Tag that was posted after the original posters tag might of had some acid damage to this part of the car or it just is rust period. Is this the only plant that doubles up on the Roof code on a fender tag if it has a V roof. The E Plant is an odd ball plant not matching a lot of other plants in the Chrysler System with a lot of their build and the fender tag from the E plant looks like it is its own animal.

Vinyl top is noted twice on all 1970 LA tags.

It has the original trunk floor in it and it's perfect. Desert car.

So Sheldon is this Mopar getting another Bewdley Ontario Hemi put between the frame rails.
