If I elect to put my FT information into the decoder what happens with the info entered bedsides telling what's on the tag?
In other words is it being collected and used after being decoded?
I do not see any disclaimer that the info is not being collected and used for other purposes.
I suspect the info is being collected and used for other purposes.

Ask the boss @Cuda Cody (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/cuda-cody_1)

Is it NOS?    :crazytalk:

so Anl you should stop trying to be cute so listen up and think
:thinking: :thinking:

Some one who is new to mopars [that i do not know] with an interesting car/fender tag contacted me out of the blue asking questions but trying to keep his privacy - as this person is a very private person due to their dangerous occupation. So private that I have not seen the tag but I know what kind of car he has and that has been verified. He said he will discuss the car further with me after he figures out what is on the tag. 

The question about what is done with the data is a very legitimate one and you your friends on here should not make fun of it. If this guys car is real you all would line up for it.  This is not my first rodeo. :burnout:

so back to the question i asked earlier and maybe i can get a definitive answer.

This car sounds like it is an awesome opportunity for you. To me the answer given by Cody is definitive. He doesn't collect the information. If you still have doubts I would take him up on his offer to have all tag information mailed to you then it would be pretty easy to decode the tag yourself. Another idea would be to enter random numbers for the last 6 digits on the bottom line of the tag...these are the last 6 of the VIN entering wrong information won't change the information on the tag (ex. Enter 111111 instead of actual last 6 digits)

Here's codes so anyone that would prefer to decode their own tag can do it.

These piles of bolts are just cars not a cure for cancer or the solution for world peace. Good luck with your "friend".

I think that more people should learn to do their own decoding and looking up info for themselves. Too many people today seem to rely on someone else to "do the work"
When you look at the different codes you learn more about the things that were available on these cars that you may not have known about.
It is fun to do these things and there are decoding charts available for all areas of you cars parts.

or, if he is that worried about it just google the codes.   Anyone can decode a fender tag in minutes without a "decoder"

This isn't advanced calculus it is a few 3 digit alphanumeric codes that relate to commonly known automotive features.

The data is out there readily available and not closely guarded secrets as the OP seems to think.

I was thinking the same thing, almost word for word, thanks for typing it out Sheldon...cutie pie  ;)

:iagree:

Here is my  :alan2cents::

1. I don't know Cody personally but I trust him.
2. Both the BS and FT decoders are awesome and two of the best tools on this site.
3. If you are worried about using them...Don't use them.
4. If you are still worried about using them...Don't use this site.
5. I don't know Alan personally but I heard he wasn't cute.

:cheers:

What's really nice about Cody's decoder is that after decoding your tag or broadcast sheet you can print it, frame it if you like and have a very nice professional looking document that you can show with your car.   :bigthumb: Best of all its FREE! Thanks Cody! :worship:

Hey, you could PAY Galen to decode you fender tag and/or broadcast sheet... And you'll know he harvested your info....

What ever car you want to decode you can bet someone else has decoded a cooler car using the decoder here.... Your car ain't that special....  :alan2cents:

Put in an incorrect VIN sequence number and laugh as you imagine some data bank getting a false VIN if you are that paranoid.

Apparently there are some comprehension issues with my request for information.

This is not my car or information, it belongs to a very private person who i have been talking with for a while now.
The car appears to be legit so far. 

They are trying to decode the tag/bcast sheet on their own without outside help or leaking of the info contained wherein.
I guess you missed the part that it's a odd car, unlike anything i have ever seen. 

Galen G - as he is already known for doing less than honorable actions regarding the information he holds has been asked about the car and in his usual stupid self says no-no-no it's a fake, but remember that Galen failed to recognize the RTS car that was found that ended up in Steve J's collection.  There are a couple of codes that don't make sense on the tag and the sheet according to the info they have so far. The question they asked about what happens to their data when it is inputted in this sites decoder is fair legitimate question so please stop the attempts at humor and ridicule. 

Thanks for the attempts to help[?] and ridicule, the conclusion based on the responses is this site decoder is not be trusted.

Well said, my good man. However, as stated, prior to all the frivolity, why not do it yourself, with the provided information, or enter a bogus VIN number? I think adding the question mark after the word "help", is a bit harsh, eh what? I believe you received the help, you were looking for. Sorry, if some of us chaps, made sport, of it. As for Galen, he does have a reputation for being a most scurrilous fellow!  Cheerio!

As mentioned, you can easily decode this top secret stuff yourself. Cody posted a link to the most accurate and comprehensive list of 1970 codes above, feel free to print that off and help your friend out. :bigthumb:

As for being a very rare or odd car because of the codes on the tag/BCS....it doesn't necessary have to automatically considered a "fake" but it's pretty easy to also make the assumption that there could be factory mistakes on a tag, after all these cars were made by humans. Chrysler is also very well known for bolting together some pretty strange combos. :alan2cents:

Not ridiculing anyone, I just think we should be more grounded about these cars. If you want to keep things secret, asking GG probably wasn't the best thing to do to start with. Suggestions have been made on decoding so that should be easy enough to do. Quite a few of us have had 1 of 1 cars and haven't felt the need for any secrecy in regards to them.

no one person or decoder is perfect  -  but a new to the hobby, special car & secrets sounds like a perfect mark for fraud
lots of fake documentation has been created in the past 40 years
a number of people have purchased "V" & "R" cars at market prices only to find out the VIN was altered from "N" & "G" after the fact, with NO recourse

for example: a "documented" 1969 sunroof Road Runner exists & "Big Willie's KING DAYTONA" including the VIN has been recreated from scratch/thin air

use multiple sources/tools to confirm anything important - look at the tread regarding a simple detail - 0.94" diameter front factory sway bars for e-bodies

I think if you really need to validate the car, Dave Wise has proven to be a much more reliable and honest resource than « GG »...
