Default 70 Door Label

All vettes had a GM tag on the drivers side door with the Vin # typed on it.

Does anyone repro the tag? If so, who can I contact to get the repro?

Thanks,



Bill

there's a guy on ebay that sells them, he will type all of you're decal info onto the new decal if you ask him, the font that he has is not exactly like the original, but it's close.
he did one for my '73 convertible, it looks pretty good!

Be careful there is another guy on Ebay who is selling them with a spelling mistake so read carefully.

...it may not pass muster, but it'll surely pass the ketchup.

the label itself is identical to my original, but the font that he used to type my information onto the label is different than the original.

It probably won't pass NCRS "muster"

Well I found the one with the incorrect verbiage.

Says APPLICABLE GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS instead of APPLICABLE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE STANDARDS.

It is a shame because the label is pretty good otherwise. They claim that theirs is liscensed by GM and that GM will not allow the label to be created to perfection. However they do have the correct verbiage on their 73 and up label. Go figure.

This would be a perfect item for the Corvette Museum to reproduce exactly like the original. We could provide a copy of our valid registration with VIN so they can create the label for a price.

This wouldn't be like getting someone to forge a VIN to make a car something it never was. This is just a decal with the build date and VIN.

The correct description of the label is ID Decal.

If I can get a decent original I am pretty sure I can make one for my car.

Thank you for all the input. All ideas are welcome.


Bill

Here are some examples. All from LT-1s. Note faint engine codes in bottom left and differential code under vin on 1st and transmission code under vin of 3rd. 2nd only has H after vin for holley. These stickers are often overlooked "documentation" to help substantiate original engine.
