Thanks guys! Does that mean that I have to take pictures of the transmission numbers,engine numbers,and all of the body stamps to prove it's a real GTS 340? I don't want to piss off the numbers police..
Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

I don't want to piss off the numbers police.. It really means you have what you have and making a reproduction is not proper IMHO. If everyone made Broadcast sheets up then the hobby goes just a little further down into the crapper. Ron

I even have the original Iowa inspection copy from 1981 when the original owner sold it...I'm sure glad I bought it to enjoy and drive. I like going to cruise ins but find car shows kind of boring.. Same here, I'd rather go to a cruise than a car show or the race track even if I'm just hanging out with buddies that are racing. Too many people at car shows are looking for ways to find fault with your car.

I guess this matching numbers car stuff isn't for me. I just thought it would be cool to have a sheet that shows what the car is and it's equipment. I really am starting to miss the comradery of drag racing. My car is not a 100 point show car nor will it ever be. It's just a cool day two modded Dart GTS 340 that has it's numbers matching engine and trans. Just list the option codes on a car show storyboard. The buildsheet needs to be decoded anyways to communicate what the equipment the car has. So you are right back to listing the deciphered codes. The top part is arguably the most important part. Shows color, trans, rear end, etc... You would photoshop your original top showing ripped edge on over a faded away (ghosted) bottom with your codes filled in. Shows you have the real top and real fender tag (show copy of that too). Then shows your projected bottom from what you know.

Dan P can make you a very nice window cling or poster. I have one and I get A LOT of comments on it
With no confusion as to its intentions or fraud implied.

Thanks guys but I am not going to do anything with it now. Maybe have a buddy gut it and tub it for a drag car! A reproduction sheet, if you can get one, would cost you a couple hundred ... or more Whomever makes it don't care about numbers on your car or anything else ... they only care about taking your money ...

Broadcast sheet Jim who is in Florida makes broadcast sheets. $300 IIRC. he's well known in the Corvette community as a Corvette cannot be top flight judged without a broadcast sheet and they are "approved" for judging. He can even age them with seat spring marks and all. Can't tell them from an original as they have the correct paper and font. I've seen a few cars in person with them, funny how a TA challenger that been rotisserie restored and several owners never had a broadcast sheet then suddenly the newest owner takes the back seat out and "finds the original one".... Look on E-bay, he usually has them on there.. Reminds me of the CEO of a big company interviewing for a new company accountant. He's gone through dozens and dozens of interviews asking just basic math problems and every one of them is spot on with the answers, but he turns them away and asks for the next job seeker. Finally, one potential accountant walks in and the CEO asks "How much is ten plus ten"? To which the interviewee responds, "What do you want it to be"? He got the job. "I'd like to BUY a broadcast sheet".........what do you want it to..........................................

If you just want to have a nice run down of what the car has, get a window sticker for 40 bucks. I got one laminated to tape on the window at cars and coffee. It looks cool and isn’t going to be taken as a fraud attempt. I made up a funny dealer from Beverly Hills for it as my car is gold and from CA. I’d have to look back at who I used, but they were easy to find on Google.
I want my fair share
