Which brings up the question: Why do some people block out part of the VIN when showing their tag(s)? I've had people take photos of my VIN tag and data plate at car shows, photos of copies of my broadcast sheets and original window sticker, etc. Is this some kind of protection?

I agree with Little Detroit. I looked into this subject to learn something. Better to post a list of cars that are known frauds, then try to limit knowledge. If there is a broad cast sheet that tells you far more than the data tag anyway. Most guys won't even buy a car, let alone pay top dollar for one without it.

If you spend enough time on this forum, you learn who the most informed are for spotting fake tags. They are very helpful in pointing out whether a tag is fake or not. That information alone is helpful enough for the OP. That doesn't mean they have to explain exactly what is wrong, and YES make it easier for the dishonest people to make more convincing tags. I side with Barry on this.

If you know just say fake or real. You do not have to say whats wrong with it. Barry what about the BO29 tag you never said anything about that one.

to mr. butterscotch ta . you are correct you don't "have too" teach or explain anything to anybody. however if you don't want help someone understand the differences then why bother calling someone out for a fake tag. the OP probably doesn't know you any better or Bullwinkle , so why should trust a guy that says "trust me" but wont show why its a fake. there are a thousands of reasons and analogies to educate people, but only two reasons to not.

"Usually" the other plants except or "usually" Lynch Road Assembly bent the fender tag right to left with the left screw in place. The Lynch Road fender tags were hanging (supposedly by a paperclip) somewhere inside the passenger's compartment maybe by the sun visor, mirror mount or steering column. So NO crease or fold mark on LR tags.

EDIT, EDIT blush

IMO the tag is "NOT AUTHENTIC". nothing I see specifically on the tag "rats" it out - is there any other documentation for the car?

I'll split this up some, just to cover a few points mentioned from my perspective.

=Little Detroit] Its better to help someone "NOT LOSE THEIR SHIRT " than try prevent a suspected forger at getting better.



I answer people emails asking if fender tags are fake or real all the time - for free.

I have three websites with my contact information available, so I am not hard to find.

It is a hobby for some & a business for some. A few different places make fake tags, why provide information to help them help their clients with better fakes?

Quote:

Thousands of people have trusted me with their car data over the years. I use it to do good. If I started using what I have learned over the last 30 plus years to 'help' the dishonest people make fakes, I would lose the trust of thousands.

The OP asked about a Lynch Road tag, they are outside my area of study. wink

I do have a lot of 1970 Lynch Road information filed though. But the photo the OP posted has part of the VIN blocked. So is it worth taking any time to try to look up? I file everything by VIN, so why try to look anything up based on a hidden VIN?

OPINION JD just an opinion. So on the flip side "Is anyone on here really expert enough to declare it an original"....no but we're allowed to state an OPINION wink I think from now on I'm not going to state an opinion on any fender tags.
