Serial Number Tag

I bought my 65 Barracuda down in your neck of the woods (Reynolds, GA) and the NC DMV inspector that came to do the VIN verification so I could get a title tried to trip me up over this very thing! He asked me what happened to the rosette rivets holding the tag? I told him they weren't ever there because the tag was welded on. He busted out laughing, and I asked him what was so funny? He said that it was hard to keep a straight face when he asked about the rivets because he took a look around the garage and saw nothing but Mopars and 1 Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am, and figured I'd know....lol. There's a 66 Barracuda on here for sale that somebody got the tag off the door jamb some kinda way, without boogering up the tag!
