Again such a great topic and all really valid opinions and ideas but w/ the endless unique circumstances that can present itself, it's not possible to nail down a simple right or wrong way of dealing w/ it. . The only constant thing that is possible is, whatever anyone does in their own personal situations w/ restamps, repop or used Trim tags and repop items that include the Vin (incl. door stickers), let it be open knowledge to a buyer come sale time or if the vehicle is presented for status certification.
With this '67 SS situation, although I admire how the owner is open about it all off the hop, it seems somewhat contradicting when he says the concern is so someone at a show won't say 'hey, where's your trim tag?' and not for close inspection yet also claims he can't use a tag off his own parts cars as the colors are wrong? .
So whatever happens w/ this SS or in any of the unique murky situations we encounter, do whatever you feel best with, just be open and admit whatever you've done when the time comes? ~ Pete
