69 GTO Conv, missing trim tag

[agtw31]

a guy on on an Oldsmobile board just bought a 69 GTO ragtop for $200 out of a guy's front yard near Chicago.
sold it the same week on ebay for 5 grand.it looked a little better than the one youre looking at,but was still rough.

if you get the PHS on the car I think you can get a new trim tag made for it.I remember ads in Hemmings.Tom

------I agree. If you have the PHS paperwork and the car appears as it is on that paperwork I think a re-pop tag would be OK. We all know you can pick the tags but in this case, agreeing that you would divulge the info upon resale, I think it would be acceptable.........Bill S

I feel like Im in the Twilight Zone here. Repop tags getting an "OK" on this site (in this case).

Thanks for the input, guys. Ive built several Pontiacs, just hadnt come across a missing tag on one, and didnt know the PHS effect on that.

The owner says he's 95% sure he has the tag, so at least it wasnt stolen off the car. Looks like it was originally Limelight Green, and since its not a RA or block #s car, it looks like we'll choose our own color on it (if the deal goes through).

In this case, replacing the tag with an exact repro of the original tag would be deemed OK as you have the PHS docs to prove the authenticity of the car, and you are upfront with a prospective purchaser if you ever sell it. It's the guys that add/delete/create new cars that's the problem.
