Yes, the stickers are reproduced. I believe that M.F. Dobbins sells them, but they are fairly expensive. Just how correct or "detectable" they are I do not know. Plus, one has the problem of imprinting the VIN number on them in a manner that appears original. I think that would be a real challenge, too.
I'd recommend carefully masking off the existing sticker.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

I have removed thease stickers with a razor blade by carefully cuting the paint under the sticker. When removed I put clear plastic on the back side and installed it over the new paint with a new clear overlay. I had bought a replacement but used the original as the typeing was not like the original.

Re: door sticker 71
There are very good repros out there, but the ones you see on eBay are not them. There are a few individuals that have taken this task on and are producting a good product.Dick WhittingtonComment

I payed $300. for one back in 1993 that was pretty good. money went to Oregon and sticker came from Texas as I recall. That VIN was a concern at the time.Lyle

Mike the VIN is made from your protecto plate on some labels at the bottom you can sometimes see the axle and carb numbers the date will be the biggest issue due to trying to find a typewriter with correct number shapes. PaulComment

Re: door sticker 71
Mike,
That is your engine assembly date preceding the 3 alpha character engine code. Your block will have those 4 numeric digits, if you have your original engine and stamping assembly.Comment

Mike that would be right if you have your protect-o-plate look at it and you would see that line below the VIN or if you have AIM you can see what should be on that line were it talks about the plate. When they stamped the label at the plant sometimes more was stamped then they wanted. PaulComment
