Does anyone have a picture of their original emission tag for a 1970 W-30 automatic transmission car? Mine is not like any of the replacement tags that are available. Here is a picture of mine:

It does not have the horespower, torque, or compression specs listed, and has a SG in a circle (repos all have OF in a rectangle). It does specify TT code engine.

My build date is 06B

Any comments?

 

3100 W-30 tags roll out of Lansing... I hope there's some originals out there? Did everybody replace there tags with a repro?

 

Your dropbox link doesn't work for me.


Here's a picture of the emissions label from a fairly unmolested W-30 (AT, A/C, built 03/18). I downloaded the pictures, probably from an on-line auction. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the car, but I wouldn't have saved the pictures if I didn't think it legit. I'm open to other's opinions on the authenticity of the emissions label.

 

That is the same as mine. I've been told by people that the only tag that is correct is "just" like the reproduction tags. They seem to vary quite a bit...

See if this link works... You can cut and paste the link into a browser and it should work.

 

Yes, that second link works.

OK, here's a picture from another supposedly real W-30. I have a little less faith in the authenticity of this W-30, and the car is not exactly unmolested (but it is very rough, not restored). Again, I probably downloaded the pictures from an on-line auction. And again, even if the car is legit, that doesn't mean the emissions label isn't a reproduction.

 

I'm a little suspicious of anyone claiming "all labels looked like THIS." Changes happened throughout the production year, even to labels. A good example is the tire pressure label on the driver's door for 1970 442s. There's an early and a late version, but only the late version is reproduced.

 

Brian the last pic you posted is a crappy reproduction.

 

Thanks. I assumed as much; it just doesn't look right. It's interesting how someone will put a brand new label on an unrestored car. I guess he thinks it helps prove that it really is a W-30.

 

I can see the repo is paper not vinyl, The corners are not rounded, the W-30 is not filled in like it should be and on and on.
