I decided to peel back the rubber grommet around the filler neck of my '67 roadster to see if there's a tank sticker visible. The tank sticker has never been a big issue on this car since it has the original window sticker and warranty plate. To my surprise, I could clearly see two pieces of paper stacked on top of each other, these were not side by side, but on top of each other. I know that tank has never been dropped on this car, it has 18,000 miles and eight options.
What's interesting is that a friend had a '67 small block roadster, #21521, that was five cars before mine. His car had the tank sticker from a green 435 coupe on it in place of his tank sticker, obviously the wrong paperwork for his roadster. The job number on his tank sticker was 521. My ID number is 21526 and we know something wrong was going on with the tank stickers in this ID number range. Anyone have any ideas on if mine may have had the incorrect tank sticker at first and they may have glued the correct one over it? I'm curious to pull the tank, but I want to have the car at Bow Tie judging and I'm hesitant to start pulling the car apart.
