Re: Mecum Lot S115-DY LS6 trim tag opinions
 

Other cars from Baltimore have had the paint code on the tag.

Here's a special paint Carousel Red 69 GTO convertible - and although carousel red was the standard color for Judges in 69 it was an extra cost solid special code for non Judges. Code on the tag is code 72 rather than --.

If the code was in the system, I believe it went on the tag - if it was not, it got the dashes.

I've never seen a tag with only one number referring to the color (s). I have a good friend that had a '70 442 that was Sebring Yellow--also code #51 and also an extra-cost option. The weird thing about this particular car was that on all other '70 Oldsmobiles I have ever seen in that color, including the Rallye 350s, the trim tag had the dashes instead of the #51. This car was a California build and absolutely had the #51 present---the first, last, and only one I've ever seen with the tag in that manner.
I'm not saying the tag on the LS6 is good or bad or real or fake; merely adding what I know.

Actually looks real to me though I cannot explain the paint code. I often times see this mark on the face of the cowl tags and we believe it is from the masking tape on the buildsheet when it was stuck to the firewall going down the line. Many times the paint was not totally set up and it left a mark when the sheet was removed.
