I CAN'T FIND IT.....

[Steve P.]

I am losing my damn mind. Last year when I bought my black 65' Coronet 500, I am sure I put the fender tag in my trucks console with the title. Well,, I have the title and cannot find the fender tag. I have turned the truck, my house, my garage and my shop inside out looking for it. Nothing... It's not like I'm a big matching numbers type guy or anything, but shiP!!

Is it on the fender?

[hemihead]

I have the same prob with my 73 Charger.But I think I left mine inside the Charger.I'll find it when I put it back together.

Is it on the fender?

    Though that is funny, I have looked more than enough times to slap myself silly..... I just can't believe I lost it!!

[mikepmcs]

have you taken the console apart yet?

[6pkrunner]

I've done the same thing, but not with a tag. Put something in a place so it will not get lost and then forget the location of the safe area. 3 mon ths later come across it. Good luck!

The console in my truck is sealed. There is no taking that one apart... Have been under the seats though..

This is what I am hoping for..  My memory sucks. It seems like I remember bringing it in to the computer to decode it. I don't remember doing the decoding though.. Maybe I just had it in mind that I wanted to...   Sheesh........

[charger_lady]

LOL...sorry but we did the same thing!!! My husband put it somewhere he thought he would remember...lol...but of course he forgot where. We found it when we stopped looking for it. Thats the way it goes...when you want/need something you can't find it...stop searching and it magically appears
Give it time it'll turn up
Good luck

I had both tags to my cars in the bottom of the spare money box* in our home office.  Well, my spouse decides to clean the desk and has a "junk" pile next to the garbage with my 500 tag in it!   I said whoa! there honey, thats in a safe place for a reason....

The second owner of my 500 has the build sheet safely stored away in his house in a zip lock bag somewhere........ where he cant find it

[hotrod98]

We installed a floor safe just to keep our car info in. We own 17 cars and it's a little difficult keeping up with every one of the titles, etc. When we disassemble a car, the vin plate (when removed to ship dash off), data plate and build sheet are stored in the fireproof safe. So far, we've not lost a single important item. Best investment I've ever made. I used to store the vin plates and data plates in my tool box until one day I realized that if someone stole the tool box, I would be screwed. It's best to have a floor safe set in concrete so that no one can remove it.

Good luck!!

[BigBlockSam]

that sucks. 

[bull]

Crap! I hate it when I do stuff like that. Usually I'm careless with receipts for purchases I make and then when the item doesn't work out for me and I want to return it I tear the house and car apart looking for it. Since I know this about myself as soon as I took my fender tag off the Charger I did nothing else but make a beeline for a Ziploc back and put the tag in my safe upstairs. Sorry Steve. I hope it turns up.

My Charger was missing it's fender tag when I bought it    Look at it this way, it just makes it easier to customize

It's probably with my old Army/jump pictures - I can't find those dern things either  so if you find the tag and some army pictures let me know

i'd check were you last put it, works everytime for me!!!!   seriously, maybe try re-enacting the situation, get a peice of carboard, fasion into a pretend fender tag, and take it where u think u took your old one.  this technique also works when you drop a bolt into a engine compartment, spend hours looking, then drop another bolt in the same spot, 9 times out of 10 it falls right next to the original one, at least for me it does.  good luck

Well that would give me a good excuse to go back to Vegas!!

  I took my daytona and 500 tags off ind put them in a safe with the titles and all paper work, Years back i was at a car show with a 69 rt and when i went to go some one had taken my tag. I have parted over 80 cars over the years and when i sent them to the masher i took the tags off so i could test myself as to read codes. Well last week i was going through a box and fount 40+ tags for all kind of cars 67 to 74 so what the heck i started puting them on e-bay and listing them as tag only no title so no to break some laws. I sold one two nights ago for $75.00 and two for $50.00 each. I guess you never know what stuff will bring. JR

I know its not going to help your quest, but it is something i did to prevent this from happening. I bought these Oxford file folders that have a little clear window when you open it up. The tags fit perfectly inside and taking them out isn't hard, but they are held firmly in place. Each of my cars has one of these folders. I keep all receipts broadcast sheets, and paperwork inside the folders. Believe me, they come in handy (like when that battery dies and you can still return it). I also store little factory items I find in the cars in there, like wire tags, etc.

a little bit off topic...

I have available on a local Mopar dealer down here this NOS center grille and medallion... maybe you could be interested
I'm not sure the year 65 or 67, but...

[Big Lebowski]

Keep looking, it will show up.

Sorry Nacho. That is not a familiar part to me. I'm sure it doesn't go to a 65' Coronet 500...

Maybe a Fairlain 500   

[BigBlackDodge]

It's in the junk drawer in the Kitchen!

BBD

[Brock Samson]

 Don't ya' just HATE THAT!!?? 

i got some stuff outstanding arond the house here too... I keep thinking it'll show up some day... 

[Arthu®]

Yeah that happens to me all the time. I guess I have a lot of safe places to put stuff because I always think of the perfect place to put something with the result that I can never find it again.

But look at it this way you could still have the fender tag but lost the car.
