Watched that one live. Rawling's car from Gas Monkey Garage. He bought it for $200K about a year ago...

By the looks of that fender tag that car must have been in some rough shape prior to being restored.

Is it me or does it look like 3 of the gauges are missing the needles?

I am looking at the pictures on my computer screen and can see the needle for the gas tank and water temp gauge
Would guess the oil pressure needle is there too

I think the same thing when I see tags with rust holes in them...

[70 sublime]

Think I would rather see a tag with rust holes in it that a fancy crisp brand new tag that everyone will question if the car is real and match the tag

[Birdflu]

That is why the inspection marks on a tag are so important. Those cannot be duplicated easily.

Birdflu,

Not trying to hijack thread, please forgive me OP, but what is the inspection mag on the tag ? Just trying to educate myself. I appreciate the time and hope everyone has a great day.

An original fender tag will 'usually' have been stamped by an inspector. When this was actually done...I'm not sure. I circled the '22' inspector number that was stamped from the back side of the tag. '22' is a very common mark on an original Superbird tag. Mine has the same number stamp.

We'll, apparently I haven't figured out how to post a URL picture. Look in the upper rh corner of the fender tag. You will see a larger font '22' that was stamped from the back side arbitrarily. Hope this helps!
