The vehicle in question here, is not a rare car, or even a factory 340/440 6bbl/Hemi...nothing like that, but a very clean V8 car with all it's ORIGINAL paperwork still with it. I did not say that at all. If any original item of documentation is missing, the value would be less than the same car with all of its original documentation. If a tag is 'replaced' via data from other, fully supporting documentation the value is still less than the same car with an original tag. Fake paperwork, tags etc. all lower the value of any car too. Any bogus numbers taint the cars history as well as the owners reputation. From /6 to Hemi, there are an amazing amount of fakes in this hobby & it is not amazing in a good way.

Got photos? Every plant had more than one person stamping tags & there were multiple machines. LAs 'thin' font comes to mind, but even those are being faked.

Mr PotatoHead Half Baked Joined: Aug 2019 Posts: 9,432 Super Spudsville	Here is an example, same SPD one has the straight lower leg 7 one has the dog legged 7. This is not a fluke and both tags are real, I could post maybe 20 examples of stamped tags with the font off on certain numbers/letters. The difference covers three years. All built at ham. STOP POTATO HATE!

Even though I have all original documents: broadcast sheet,monroney label,sales invoice,title from original buyer, and also the owners manual....still wish I knew the fate of the original missing tag, it bugs me! Thanks Barry for the info!
