Reproduction VIN plate

[Cobra Chris]

Has anyone ever seen a reproduction of the original as in this picture? I have seen many with the snake but never without...Any help would be appreciated...

The few photo series I have bookmarked of originals have the Cobra on them. The year (67) preceeding the CSX number is also not typical I think (?).

This plate was used on early 427 competition, s/c and some street cars.

A decent trophy shop can make one up for you, if you give them a decent photo.

Earlier this year I was switching my title/registration from one state to another. I needed a VIN plate for verification and could not find it on the car.

Long story short I had this company build me one and it worked fine. I just sent them a copy of what I wanted and they copied it on an aluminum plate.

Most of the 3000 series cars that were sold as 1967s have the 67- prefix on the plate

OK - thanks. I was going by CSX 3337 and 3360 they very well may have a reproduction plate on them. Probably too pristine to be original.

But, I did find 3112 w/o the snake and it does look like it might be original.
