Title: Interesting Color Combo
Post by: ChrisV289 on July 21, 2015, 11:38:28 PM: Sunlight Yellow with red interior. Data-plate looks a little funny but has the original owner's card:

Post by: J_Speegle on July 22, 2015, 01:53:45 AM: Might be something someone created to get attention. Seen this allot in other makes and models (model T's and A's for example)

Have seen some originally order blue and red combinations in the past though :o

If not interesting combo

VIN plate looks legit, has one of those overlay decals.

Weird. I never even knew a decal was available. I'm guessing the availability of Kevin Marti's data plates made those decals obsolete?

Interesting, what do you make of the riviets?
Title: Re: Interesting Color Combo
Post by: jwc66k on July 22, 2015, 01:37:20 PM: The rivets look like they came from my "rivet stash". There may have had a sale at the local hardware store.

Have to agree since the owners card information matches

Post by: Smokey 15 on July 22, 2015, 07:04:29 PM: I'm finding this thread very riveting. (sorry I had to) What should the proper rivets, on that particular car, look like? Do you think the plate was removed for paint work then reattached?

Post by: Fullbasement on August 31, 2015, 11:56:38 AM: Gentlemen,
If you are restoring a car that doesn't have a door tag, what's the best source to get one that looks correct?
I've seen Virginia Mustang makes replacement data plates as well as correct style rivets, but I haven't seem them or know if they pass muster.
Title: Re: Interesting Color Combo
Post by: carlite65 on August 31, 2015, 12:09:41 PM: va mustang does not make the tags. they come from marti auto works. and yes they will pass muster.
Title: Re: Interesting Color Combo
Post by: Smokey 15 on August 31, 2015, 06:36:55 PM: Not a Mustang, but there is a '69 Camaro, in our area, with a Hugger Orange exterior and yellow houdstooth interior.

In Concours Trailered or Concours Driven, no

Currently this goes or either the reproduction or the worn original as long as its a good reproduction and things match
