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

Besides Pete...anyone knows that a Mercury Sno Twister would stomp a Ski Doo any day...with or without the compliance sticker...

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? ~ Pete [/ QUOTE ]I guess the repro Yenko window sticker displayed in my Deuce with the VIN typed on it is going to land me in Federal prison too then. ![]() ![]()

Ok, lets not get too carried away. . In days gone by when you wanted the Vin from a GM vehicle you were servicing, you went to this sticker as a Vin location as it was often easier to read than the Vin tag through the w'shld. . And again I'm saying do whatever you feel comfortable with as far as these stickers, restamping, repop cowl tags or whatever....I'd consider buying a vehicle with any of these situations but since it's a Vin-ed item would want it to be known and part of the purchasing decision.
And yes the Merc Twisters were wicked fast, at least the 76's liquids were. . I had a 76-340 for a few years....potent piece but just not a SkiDoo! ~ Pete

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..

Marlin, How does the OSBORNE Blue Sticker compare in appearance to Pontiac Don, if you know......or is doing a good job of typing the VIN on OSBORNE's just too much hassle??? finding old typewriter etc etc

[/ QUOTE ] Marlin, Take a look here... http://216.178.81.108/forums/showthread....r%23post2292472 There are several pages in that thread and the appearance of the stickers changes a bit as Don learns and produces more. Also differences between various years. Thanks to njsteve for referencing the link in an earlier post.
