Title: Caveat Emptor...another repro body tag
Post by: william on January 15, 2020, 04:25:02 PM

VIN not listed.

Tag was cleverly aged with a ball-peen hammer.

 I guess if someone is going to put a tag on, at least push the rivet centers in.   ;)

May be related to Kansas-issued replacement VIN shown in door jamb in listing pictures?

Could it be that the trim tag was just removed from car then reattached....or is it a reproduction trim tag?

There are a couple of features on it that point to a repop, no doubt.

As to the "clever" workover with a ball peen (or is it pein ?), well, maybe. Wow, how dumb are people ?
