Re: 1969 Camaro L78
I noticed the same thing about the tag. Makes you wonder what else is fake or re-stamped.

Ditto on the tag. [/ QUOTE ] How can you guys tell this tag is reproduction? What are clues to look for? Can we compare an original tag verses a repop tag in the "Tech and Resto" section and make it a sticky thread? I know I would benefit from it, I would presume others would too. If we need a picture or two of an original tag I can supply those as well.

Re: 1969 Camaro L78
By divulging the reasons why, the counterfieters would know as well and make the necessary corrections. Study tags from known originals with history and docs and compare to some restored cars. There are several repo tag producers, and each has their flaws.

Re: 1969 Camaro L78
If you guys think this car is nice, you should see the 1969 L-78 Camaro SS convertible that I purchased from Charley and now is owned by PhilS. It's every bit as nice and with FACTORY and DEALERSHIP paperwork.
