Re: Trim Tag for Sale
It's in mint condition because its never been on a car. It was probably a coke can last year, its a fake tag. As to why someone would need it, thats easy, it will add 20K to your 307 coupe when you sell it as an original numbers matching Z28 on Ebay.

Re: Trim Tag for Sale
Your right, one day it will end up on a nice car and someone will pay big $$$$ for it. Doesn't seem right. Well it's a good thing I've got the POP to prove mine is what it is.

I have lots of docs too. and happy for it!

Re: Trim Tag for Sale
Here is the funny part:
"Most of the "real" Z28's for sale on ebay and elsewhere are anything but real, so making your own project X 11 car an X77 is just doing yourself a favor. Email me with any questions. I reserve the right to sell this early so if you really want it let me know. Bidders ID is not shown to protect them from the lowlife pondscum scammers." He is the lowlife pondscum scammer. Lynn

Re: Trim Tag for Sale
Bastards....wonder how they chose their body number? . With the values now and all the shenanigans going on, has the time come for some kind of new registry....the bogus registry?? . It would surely become a contraversial one but it would be nice to help keep track of known bogus and maybe even questionable Vins, trim tags, restamps, build sheets etc??? . As much as this phoney tag guy is keeping the buyers secret, this tag could be filed by body number and the info accessible to the true enthusist??? ~ Pete

Re: Trim Tag for Sale
Anything stamped with General Motors Corp Certifies.... is suppose to be illegal if restamped. Just like the restoration places that remake parts under the GM name need permission to do so. So what's up on these body tags? Hmm, I'd lock these people up if I was GM for a start so they can meet Bubba and the boys.

If they did do something, maybe it would become the way things went after the trademark crackdown on aftermarket suppliers....same stuff just available through your dealer or others but w/ GM getting a cut?? ~ Pete

Re: Trim Tag for Sale
Big Hammer,
These are things ( knock off cowl tags and protecto plates, etc ) have unfortunately been around for a long time. Hemmings has had a guy advertising in there for years. Originally I think there were legitimate people making them when most cars being restored were not really valuable and the restorer wanted to do some detail work. Now it's become a counterfiting tool. regards, SG
