Who repro's the 70 GM Conforming door jam decal?

Yes, it was very scary back then too. GM and Chrysler used their legal muscle to push the issue and then settled for a cut of the profits from the sales if I recall correctly. The legal issues have been clarified since then. That is why the makers of these decals either sell them untyped or ask for some type of documentation to verify that you are the owner of the actual car.

Since it's a reproduced 'Vin-ed' item, I'd look at using one of these as similar to restamping a motor or trans. . In either case, the door w/ Vin or drivetrain part w/ Vin can be swapped while inadvertently moving the Vins. . Of course applying a repop decal is much easier to attempt and you can try and try again if you're unhappy with the result unlike if your retamp goes bad, but easier doesn't make things any better or more honest? . If they were aware, any 'Re-Vin-ed' item would have different opinions depending on what local or Federal agencies and their agents feel at the moment. . Also like I've said before, reproducing Vins of any kind could subject your vehicle to possible destruction of any tags by the feds and a State reissued Vin thus greatly diminishing the value of the vehicle. . So like restamping, do whatever you feel comfortable with but allow this to be open knowledge come sale time to the serious buyer or certifying the car as "thorougbread' or other similar type status. . And again, if selling the vehicle, don't just tell the buyer this info, put it in writing so when the car is resold, you have proof you were above board and it's easy to see who dropped the ball of honesty. . As always, personal opinions here and subject to change without notice, any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental, call with charge card in hand, operators are standing by. ~ Pete

Geez....Its a just a friggin' repop decal in a doorjamb...its not like rebodying a car or swapping VIN numbers or anything...i don't think any certified signed letters need to be filled out about it before selling, nor do i think any government agencies are going to come take your car away if you stick one in your jamb...the more i read these posts, this whole subject seems silly to argue about.

Exactly, it's just a stinkin sticker for cryin out loud - when you go to the DMV do they go look at the little stinkin sticker or do they go to the dash?

Actually some of you may remember when I bought my deuce I had to get a repop sticker and put on the car to get it registered in arizona. I have never had this with pre 70 cars but 70 and up they wanted the sticker there. I got the repop from jim osborn and put it on the car and then no problems. there was an alternative of dropping off my car to them for a dismantle for hidden vin verification and then at their discretion they can use the GM vin or assign a new state issued vin. nothing personal but I would rather not leave to chance of a dmv clerk when all that happened was my car got repainted. cowl and vin tags are permenant, stickers are not..

Joe....I know it's just a friggin' repop decal but it's a friggin' repop decal that includes the Vin, that's what makes it a debate. . If you feel so sure it's nothing, change one on your car and call the feds telling them what you've done and lets all see what happens? . Just kidding really but would you or anyone want to subject your car to some federal guys whim of what's right or wrong according to his interpretation of the law? . And a debate isn't silly....it's personal opinions, just like yours! ~ Pete

I bought a few of the Jim Osbourn versions - just to get the clear overlay. I didn't like the quality of the repop's, so I re-used my original one (trimmed off the 'overage' on the original overlay, rounded off the corners of the JO version, and stuck it on!). If I left it off, (like a lot of owners do after repaints), would anyone really care? If I stuck a repop on after typin my VIN on it, would a buyer care? I don't think they would, but that's probably because I certainly wouldn't care
