Decoding/Numbers / Re: Trim Tag - OPINIONS PLEASE

I think it's a repro.  Got a VIN? :)


As William would say.  It does not compare well with other 04C tags..

Being a LOS car, is there a chance that the car prior to this one was that color and it wasn't caught that the operator failed to clean out or swap paint tanks.?.  Not saying this was the case but just typing out loud if you will.

Its the same regardless of interior color as far as shine/hue of the dash top vs dash face.  The reflection off the windshield I would assume was a concern and why the suede/textured finish on the top.  I am not aware of a separate color callout for the dash top vs face.  Might have been process differences or maybe there was an actual different paint.  I do not know.  It will also diff between NOR and LOS as far as texture of dash top.

The Dixie Twister was not a 4P.  Ignore the M22 grease pencil as someone got carried away and wasn't knowledgeable.

Do not use synthetic oils.

Newspapers.com is one to search but you will need to get an account setup to do searches.  I replied to your email also.

Reason for my question is it MIGHT have been an L78 depending on a few key items.  Hence why I asked if it had a single fuel line on the frame or 2 (return line)

Could be paint fade or the exposure of the photo.  Seeing the engine photo above it appears to be a deep groove pulley on the alt.  Do you know what alt stamp it has and how is compares to the build date of the car?  Single fuel line or does it have a return line?

Looks like a photo quality issue.  Appears black with a glare to me.  Email me a full size photo that hasn't been reduced and I can repost it.

Can you share more details about the car? Trim tag, vin, does it still retain its original drivetrain?

Almost all of those pictures are at LOS. Have people seen 68's or 69's with gas tank blackout?

I've never seen it on a NOR car, btw.

Yes on 68 LOS cars (I'll need to confirm on 69's), I too have not seen on NOR cars.

I do like the "Built By The Number 1 Team"

I'm sure I've posted it before but this is the NOR sample that was on the green 68.

Great addition of photos too btw.
