Me naming names is not going to be constructive in this thread. If these people want to chime in... they know they are free to.

There are more cars with door tags that do not match paperwork. The people putting the tags in the doors were not concerned with matching them up. When six cars went out. Six tags went on. It happened on camaros as well. As long as you have documentation for your car. I would never give up the original tag for the right number. Earl

Thanks Earl!! What you said was my first thought years ago. It is the way my car left Yenkos shop. A person was trying to convince me that someone had originally lost my number 100 tag, and had replaced it with the number 101 tag. They were also trying to convince me that my car having the 101 tag on it casts a shadow, and doubt on my car. They said they would just leave the tag off, if it were them. This same person also told me that all of my documented racing history from 1966 thru 1972 added no value to the car. Shortly after these people couldn't buy my car......was when one comes up with the # 101 car. I guess he got the car with some kind of papers, but no tag on the car.

I agree with Earl...that tag is from that car and thats where it belongs...so I guess someone made a YS 100 tag too ? The history on any car is extremely valuable...what a silly thing for someone to say...

Yes that is the car. It had a Vertigate shifter. Worked great once you figured out how to use it.

Ed Cunneen, who heads the COPO Connection. is big into Stingers, maybe he can help you out. Possibly even issue a certificate with the right numbers or something.
