Heres what mine looked like, perhaps it will help. who knows.
I swapped out tanks, but it was basically worthless anyways. I just took a few pictures of it. I suggest you try to stick a piece of paper on your decklid where it would be, and see if that helps any.
Personally, I couldn't get the splashguard off with the tank in the car either.
I pulled mine- it was ledgible, but VERY fragile. I figured another year or two, add some vibration(car has been dormant for 25 years), and it would be toast. I put it in a plastic document sleeve, put it in the safe. Mine is not an l 88 or some rare car- it is a base car, and that sticker just is a cool addition to the history. I think leaving them in place to rot is insane.
You must be looking at the same vette I am. The guy discovered the tank sticker today and the price went up 2K.
No, my seller doesn't seem to care if there's anything supporting his verbal history... could be confidence, indifference or whatever. I don't think he is a cheat but I've been wrong before. I've got to go look for myself.
Too bad on the price change. The guy should honor his price to you.
Hopefully it will be what you are looking for. The vette I'm talking about didn't make reserve twice on ebay and now he thinks it's worth more than his Buy it now price. Bottom line the vette is missing the most important part the engine.
I removed mine also. It is very fragile. I wanted to preserve it while I could still read it.
I've worked with a number of these documents and have learned that scanning is the best preservative of the data a buildsheet shows. It snapshots the document retaining the quality of where it is plus captures the variation in color. You can also print out a hard copy to handle as you wish.
