Interesting VIN number on 68 Barracuda

Additionally the fender tag on my 67, and my 69 are both long gone. Were gone before i ever bought either car. Neither one is terribly valuable. I will fill in the holes where the tags went and repaint. The 69 was a stripper 318 coupe with only automatic floor shift as an option, my 67 was a slant sux bench seat 3 on the tree coupe. Even though i am putting a V8/4 speed combo in the 67, i dont ever intend to misrepresent it with formula S badges etc, even though these are being redone as i want them to be. I have heard of people stamping out new fender tags too. Another slippery slope. Now if your car is valuable optionwise and you can prove it was built that way. Maybe getting a notorized document from Galen Govier to prove what you got, i see no reason to not stamp out a fender tag to replace a missing or severely corroded original, but stamping one out adding in options on the tag the car didnt originally come with is pretty dishonest as well.

The problem here is now these cars are not used cars anymore. People buy them as investments. Yes i know A bodies are currently poor investments as you can sink $20K easy into a $12K car, however i never thought 68-70 chargers would be selling for $50K and up either. This being said when dropping that much cash on a vehicle that old thats probably been apart for a restoration at some point in its life, smart people do their homework, and if it smells fishy no pun intended like a BH23 vin on a BH29 barracuda, i'd walk away too.
