GTD chassis/vin plate

Simon · 02-24-08, 08:21 AM

Did GTD supply a chassis plate? if so are they still available from anywhere?
I'm NOT after a "FAV" chassis plate or anything that reads "FORD" I'm proud of my GTD and it's heritage so would like a GTD chassis plate.

Simon

If there's none available, are there any GTD owners who would like some made? I found a guy at the classic car show today who makes/designs them to order.

I do already have this one from the enthusiasts club.

Hi Simon,

I have such a plate too on my GTD but would also like to order one if you find GTD ones.
I cannot remember there were GTD plates.

So who is the man to speak to that supplies the "Replica" plates.
It would be good for my KVA.
Cheers.

Attached are an original,as supplied by GTD, GTD vin plate and an Enthusiasts Club plate. They can probably be copied and made buy most trophy shops. I have no idea who might have made or supplied them. The plates are 4" x 1 1/4" x 1/16". The rubbed out portion was pre printed with GTD40 and the rest was blank for stamping in the proper chassis number, which consisted of the actual chassis number plus the year of manufacture i.e.
GTD4020190. 201 being the chassis and 90 being the year.

Murray,

If you want , I can send you my replica tag so you have a real one to remake it if you want to.
Just send it back to me when done.

Let me know.

I suspect that a lot of GTD's did not get the GTD chassis plate as shown by Bud here. I have seen a lot of GTD's and not seen that one before! Agree with your chassis numbering though. Nearly all chassis were stamped though with the chassis number.

Gents, I too can generate these plates like the FAV, JWA, FoMoCo plates I already make. I can crank them out for $20 post paid. See my plates under the thread "Repo Vin Plates"

Fred/Belgium · 02-25-08, 10:40 AM

Hi Lynn,

Could you make 3 vin plates such us 40Bud showed in black and GT Development?
If you stamp them too I can send you my chassis number.

How long would it take to make them and I agree to ship trough express mode (I need them asap for Immatriculation purposes overhere).

Also let me know how I could make payement (paypal,Mastercard,transfer etc)

These are pretty simple so I suspect I could do the artwork today and have them in tomorrow's mail (Tuesday). I'm not sure what Express postage to Europe is but I think it's about $15, I'll have to check. PayPal always works for me. Get me the numbers you want lasered in and I'll get on it later today. Contact me directly via email: minerL@theofficenet.com.

Lynn,

Excellent GTD vin plates.

I went trough the local authorities and they accepted the plate as original.
Excellent work and great follow up.
Many thanks!
