just thought it could be put in the data base for records

And it took all of ten seconds to find two mistakes on his -"Perfect condition, never mounted, exact duplicate, flawless reproduction using the latest techniques, absolutely indiscernable from the real thing" :rolleyes:

Thanks for the link - I saved the image in files.

I just sent the guy a question if he would restamp one for my early 69 showing X codes that were never added. Lets see what he has to say.

Contacted man selling those "New" cowl trim tags on Ebay,, I asked if I could have one made for my 12A car with X codes included,,,Said that they don't do that stuff as GM didnt intend X codes to be there. He stated in his ad that these tags could be used to "fool friends" .. I see the $2.69 tag is now at $112.50.

They cost around $300 to have made.
I don't have "issues" with repro tags, I just wish those who made them would insist on adding a small feature like a dimple or something so that they were obvious repros. They are very aware that their tags are used for evil yet there seems to be no moral consensus from those who produce them.
My trim tag is a little damaged and maybe I'll replace it one day. I like that option but I don't want to rip anyone off with it if I decide to change the paint code for fun.

WOW :confused:

This cowl tag is up to $760 with 2 hours left. Glad I don't need spend $760 to fool my friends. :clonk:

and sold there,, this tag musta been very valuable to someone.

Poor fools. They could get exactly the codes they wanted for 1/2 that price..

02D X33D80 is valuable to whom? An idiot? There is no such car. Kinda like believing in Santa Claus.

Well maybe buying the tag was cheaper than a complete body... Be on look our for future sale of this " Imposter". Wonder who may have had this car? Courious, My car is a 12 A car , Nor 141111, Could a 02D car be 281533 ?

281533 is possible for 02D.

That's really smart to pay $760.00 for the same thing you can get for $195.00 here:

Wow, I can't believe how many fools there are out there. He even states in the auction that it's a repro and people still bid it up to $780!

You got to go and read his new post on the sale:
relisted because the wining bidder recived hate mail.LOL

Looks like he has friends or alias ebay user names bidding up his stuff. i wouldnt bid on any of his auctions because of that.

"absolutely indiscernable from the real thing."

Uhmm, yeah, ok, whatever.

FYI - The link to that website tried to download a Trojan virus onto my PC.

If you clicked the link, you should run virus scan.

Come on all you TC members!! :mad:

This is getting out of hand with these fake tags :angry: Does anyone have knowledge of how a copyright law work? If I were GM and some clown was going to pocket this kind of money using false tags I would want to do something about it. It seems like fraud in my eyes so we can sit around and type stuff about this or figure out something that will stop these guys from doing this and getting away with it. I am not in law but I am not going to go and add some 0's to my $1 bill to make it look like something it is not then try to pass it on as a $100 or more etc.... Come on guys! :sad:

There needs to be some kind of mark or something to notify these are not orginal cowl tags from whoever is making them and it needs to be regulated with big time consequences for people or companies that don't do it with out written permission from GM. We all know it is deceiving the next guy for profit with these tags and hopefully Gm will care enough to get involved and get these so called human beings to shape up and stop the scams.

I personally can tell the difference for the most part but surely not as good as guys like Kurt so here is a challange if anyone is up to it, Let's again figure something out to protect us and our cars that are real from the crooks in this hobby. :thumbsup:

I really liked this part:

The real experts don't have a problem with these, but they are clearly aware of the potential for misuse also.

I don't know what experts he was referring to but they certainly aren't the experts who frequent this board.

FYI - The link to that website tried to download a Trojan virus onto my PC.

If you clicked the link, you should run virus scan.

I just linked to it again and I have no indication that it is trying to download a virus. A scan of my system comes up clean as well. ????

Homer and Jethro Law hillbillies? Thats a new one.. Well guess the new bidder has a car with same body #'s... Hillbilly,,, lol.
