Trim Tag: none at all or repro?

[Pacecarjeff]

I completly agree with Lynn, and Vern. This fake stuff is really ruining the hobby.
This is not buyer beware anymore - that is fraud.
I had a similar discussion about repro POP's on Team Camaro, some of those guys just didn't get it.

Fake POP discussion Interesting reading - I have a way with words.

If it were me, I would find a tag off another 1967 Car and put that up there in it's place.
Most people wouldn't know the difference, and the ones that do, would understand your explanation.

Otherwise, I guarentee somewhere down the road, someone is going to get burned. Maybe your great-grandson will sell the car. He will believe it to be a real tag. It never fails.

I have a large collection of trim tags (for refrence only)
I would be glad to find you a Cadillac tag or something.

Boy...riveting and compelling commentary from both Lynn and Vern.

Lynn,
I appreciate your point of view.Your compassion for the hobby is quite evident.

Vern,
Your words are so true.It's the cars that are the stars and we are only the lucky ones to be the caretakers.
Money has certainly clouded the picture...

Thank you both for sharing your feelings.

Lynn, no apologies necessary. I wanted to hear everyones opinion. For those who didnt know on 67 chevelles the trim tag didnt dictate SS or Mailbu. The vin did that, 138... for an SS 136... for a Malibu. The trim tag only told int/ext color, buckets or bench, assembly plant, transmissions, and a few options.

Pacecarjeff the problem I have with taking a tag off another car is that to me it seems more deceptive than a fake one. That is unless I could fine one with exactly the same color combo and options, but what are the chances of that. I have 3 SS parts cars with trim tags, but I dont want to go that route. I understand 99% of trim tags sold are used to change a car. Maybe I should get a new tag and have "REPLACEMENT" stamped into it. I dunno.
