Tank sticker

There is a man in South Carolina who will recreate a Corvette tank sticker for any car that had such a thing.

These pieces of paper were crudely glued to the fuel tank of cars and served as a checklist for assembly crews for the car's options and destination.

The one on this car had rotted completely off and not one letter or digit was legible when the tank was pulled from the car. We had to go by the options present on the car and those that have been added in order to recreate this document.

This car came from the factory with a white vinyl convertible top, standard brakes, black wall tires and probably had wheel covers. Those four options were added or changed to suit the current owner and the new tank sticker will reflect those changes.

There are folks who will prepare a new tank sticker to look as if it is authentic and they charge a pretty penny to do so. I am happy with a new one since the rest of the car has been restored.

Once it comes in, it will be glued to the fuel tank.
