Early 68 Build sheet
Working on a low mileage original L-71, dropped the tank to clean it out after 40 years of storage. Tanks sticker is in great shape, should I leave it where it is or remove it?

That's up to you. Myself and I know many feel the same way is that sticker is a form of authenticating the way that car was built. It's hard to use it on the tank if it's in the car. Some folks have replaced the tank and display the original tank with the sticker. That sticker and the window sticker show all options as built. POP shows drivetrain, purchaser and seller and of course an original as born engine pad shows engine trany, etc. The paper used for tank copy wasn't meant to be the most durable but it sounds like yours may have fared better than most. The ones I've removed I treated like forensic evidence. Take pictures first of it on tank of course. Slowly cutting the glue at metal with fresh razor on handle. Very soft brush to slowly move away dirt. It won't have the vin, but if it's there the dealer code. Original tank stickers do have a hand written number on the right side which runs in cycles of 500 + or - up to 5 numbers off. Generally it's the 500+or- off the last three numbers of your vin. NCRS has a great service to verify the dealer and the sticker. There's many posts on these subjects. Sounds like an interesting project.Comment
