Re: Buying/Selling Firewall Tags......
Most obvious sign is a tag that looks like it's never been painted (stated only half facitiously). The tag was on the firewall almost as soon as there was a firewall. But seriously, there are significant differences and hopefully the repro'ers won't figure them all out any time soon. Look at the current thread on the Orange "COPO" in the for sale section, there are two identical tags associated with the car, both can't be original.

Mark C.
You could just PM Belair with the clues as how to tell. I hear that he's starting a new business soon...
