There's cars still to be found

Well thats simply stupid logic. Your plate number is visible on a daily basis.
Which is also stupid to put the finger in front of the tag on a for sale ad or the hanging of a cloth on the tag....

You really are clueless, It's the Inter'web mate, junkie thieves are lazy and can get caught for prowling public parking spaces, in this country they swap plates to similar cars, in the UK where you have your own plate made they just go too a unscrupulous mate at the plate shop and make a clone tag that they culled off a TV program or some youboob video. GET IT?

Sheeech.

I can't be caught up in worrying about pathetic scams that'll happen regardless. I never really thought you were one of those that didn't leave his house. Mate!

why in the hell does everyone want someone else's fender tag and vin number ? It is "nobody's" business but the owner !! Did you plaster your vin number all over the internet

We are curious, and for record keeping. Fender tag tells me or whomever what options the car has, or had. Vin tells us some more info about the car. If someone were selling and didn't provide the fender tag, it would make me less interested, for various reasons.

But the tags help with an OCD type of behavior some of us have with these cars. ***** at @polara71 all you want, but he is a walking encyclopedia of '70 Polara convertibles. He's not out to steal anyone's car. He knows about more cars histories than a lot of members know about their own cars.

It also helps people like @69CoronetRT who has been compiling data about what plants produced what cars, options available, and all kinds of information he never could do without those VIN and fender tags.

So, keep it all secret if you want, sharing it won't make your car disappear, but it might help someone else, somehow.

Now what?

So how does that help any enthusiast, it's particular to your car only, as you say, now what ? ?

 

[polara71]

The VIN tells you what it is, what engine, what year , what body , what line, where it was built.
If you have the whole tag it tells you a whole lot more.
For instance my number tells you is a 383 4 car, one of 19 built. Weve located 6 of the 19 of the 842 70 polara convertibles built.

That may not mean much to many but there is a bunch here that appreciate it.

So now you know where 6 of the 19 are, what does that do for you ? If it was a life changing experience I could see it but to just know where 6 are, I'm confused !!

 

[polara71]

Then you arent a car guy if that confuses you.

I just registered to start trouble,why in the hell does everyone want someone else's fender tag and vin number??

I’d say you accomplished your goal.

There are many reasons why people collect info. Some to satisfy personal curiosity and some beneficial to the hobby and others.

If you were buying a car, would you want to know if the car was a fraud or not? Would you want to know if desirable and more expensive options have been added to inflate the value? Guys like me could help answer that question by knowing what should and shouldn’t be coded on a fender tag.

Supply and demand affects value. Knowing the availability of certain makes, models and body styles affects value. Guys that track and keep info on surviving cars and values are a great resource when buying or selling.

If you were looking for history on a car, guys like me might be able to help. Here's a great example.

Factory records don’t exist for all years. If guys like me collect enough reliable data, we can fill in the gaps of missing factory documents. We may be able to give you a relative idea as to how common or scarce certain colors are on certain models.

There are other reasons too but this reply is getting long.

Collecting data is like a picture puzzle. Data on one car usually doesn’t tell you much. Put together info from 10, 100 or 1,000 cars and patterns emerge making the picture more clear as to how the factory did things.

I collect M46 bh code barracuda's. I have 25 on my known list to exist out of 400. I'm trying to piece together a few things like a specific stripe option and specific plastic color of the grills and connections between the two styles of scoops that were built differently. Why and where and how. Can't do that if everybody keeps their little info secret.
Every vin of every car I've ever owned is on the web. Glad to show em. Go ahead, clone one if you so desire. I doubt you will.
When you keep your info private you help the demise of this car hobby. Information sharing is key to understanding these cars. Especially while doing restorations.
Here is a great example of how this information helps the restoration world.

And here is a few examples of the option that I search for.

Here is a post on this website from today where someone found out the car is not an original 440.
Without these codes he could have purchased the car for more money than it's true value. Or sold it to someone who doesn't know for more value.
Fender tag, build sheet and vin info is very very important to us mopar guys.
Perhaps you might want to go get a chevy or ford. Or kia.

Grammar. Proper grammar. It was unmercifaly beat into me from 1st grade to graduating College.
I see bad grammar consistently now from advertising to news media.

Well, I guess I achieved what I intended !!

So you are saying your original intention was not to cause trouble, but to be better informed about C-bodies and the meaning and information the fender tag and vin supply about a car?
Welcome aboard.
