Magic Mirror trim tag

[Charley Lillard]

I don't think it was upgraded paint. I think someone guessed it had something to do with the regular 68 tag saying something like.. "GMC certifies to the dealer that this vehicle conforms to all US federal motor vehicle safety standards applicable at time of manufacture"

The COPO might have been an unknown as to all those standards.... Just a guess.

Best theory I've heard yet. Makes sense, use last year's tag without all the legal fine print. An easy way to dodge future liabilty issues.

Seems like there was a couple of instances where folks had seen the tags on what were believed to have been non-COPO '68 Camaros...anyone else remember that? I'll try and dig that thread up...

[JChlupsa]

Thought they were placed on the Export cars. Bet that Nova Tag was Exported

Yahtzee...found the thread, and I see Jeff already beat me to the explanation...

a friend of mine has a red 68 rs camaro from france with great docs and it has that tag,i also will be storing a 68 camaro convertible at my shop that is coming straight from france for a customer of mine next week or two i will check his tag and let you guys know.

I think they are much more common that you think.
Here is a picture of 2 of them right off the top of my crate.
These are both cadillac's, but I've seen them throughout the GM line


I really see them all the time - I bet I have 30 of them.
They read:
THIS CAR FINISHED WITH
MAGIC MIRROR ACRYLIC LACQUER
Body By Fisher

Maybe you guys are talking about something else?

The ACC tag was the standard trim tag for Chevy for several years.

68 Yenko and export Camaros used that tag because they did not meet the US specs on the standard 68 tag.
I don't think that's a guess either.

Not every 68' Yenko used that tag. The very early prototypes did not use that tag and were sold to customers as demos after there demo duties were completed...BKH

[John Brown]

Well, if the different trim tag was put on by Fisher Body because there was possibly a question of compliance, that would mean that 68 Yenko cars that have that trim tag are actual copo cars from GM and not motor swap cars done by Yenko Chevrolet.

May be another piece in the puzzle.
