[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I think this thread has already got out of hand by a couple of individuals , they know who they are, the way i see it, is the owners of these fabulous rare cars have nothing to prove to anyone on this site. If you have a pocket full of money and want to buy a car of this caliber , go see it and I am sure you will get the whole story and proof on both cars , if I owned these cars i would not respond to all the wannabe car detectives with no money to purchase either of these cars,if you put your money where your mouth is, then, you would expect the owners will disclose all the information you would need to purchase such a high dollar rare car.there seems to be a few people on this site trying to get to the bottom of something for no reason ,just my opinion .

Not true. The car should stand on it's own merit, one should not need a pile of money to get the truth.

All that is required to put this thing to bed is one post by Matt Langford to say why the fake tag is on this car and who the original owner is.

Isn't Matt the same guy that tried to sell a fake KQ rear to Helmut, last year?

I wonder if he will eat the tag if it is fake?

Another thought: Is the car free if it is a retag???

After reading this entire thread ive decided to start a trim tag caulk registry. I am contacting everyone that is selling a car on ebay and asking them for a close up of the caulk on thier trim tags. Maybe there is a relation between plants and caulk. IE California built cars may be prone to "caulk running" due to the heat,maybe in the summer months the caulk will be different than in winter months. I will setting up a tent for anyone interested in getting a caulk certificate at some local shows.

Caulk can be very complex. There was a great bit on Crank Yankers about it....

Hey Maxx did you use to bring your camaros up to Woodstock Ontario for the shows years ago. I was looking at a picture from 8 years ago of a 69 pace car and a 68 Z28 side by side. I think Mr.English owned the pace car and you had the 68 z28. Beautiful cars.

I think that before the science of trim tags evolved, many folks changed trim tags on all kinds of cars. The originals were lost or tossed and a reproduction put on to reflect what the restorer wanted. Now trim tags are, with out a doubt, harder to fake than an engine block.
I owned a '69 Pace Car that burnt in a fire, the trim tag melted. If anyone rebuilds that car, they'd have to replace the trim tag with a reproduction due to the loss of the original. They could include all of the original data, but it would be a reproduction on an original Pace Car with the original engine (what's left of it). It would probably raise lots of questions.

This problem is only going to get worse, i have never seen so many fake documents, on my l89 the tag was blasted and thin in a couple of spots but i never gave replacement a thought, so an explenation would be nice so these cars wouldnt be questionable every time they pop up, its like the restamped blocks and wheathered build sheets that are being made, I for one think this board is doing a service by bringing these tags to question, it could help somebody save there $$$$$
