Interesting tag found on a 62 Belvedere

[Big Bad Dad]

I was cruising Facebook, and came across this on there. Apparently someone has parted out a 62 Belv and found this tag on the firewall. I'm just curious if anyone knows anything about this? Was it a rare race car? I'm not connected to this in any way, just like to know what you guys think.

in 1962? That's the question about this tag and this car. I thought A990 was 1965 model cars.

Interesting this tag is stamped from the topside.

SN 000000?

Research and development vehicle?

What is the issue about the tail lights? Did 62s have pot metal tail lights? This guy said the car has aluminum tail lights. I'm not familiar with 62s.

I'd have to see them. Pot metal and aluminum are both pretty close to the untrained eye.

Yes it is. The light I pictured had a aluminum ring and a pot metal center.

It’s a tag that someone stamped on their own. The blank isn’t even correct for a Mopar.

Pot metal will be on the grey side. Also pit metal has copper a magnesium in it making it much heavier then aluminum. Aluminum on the other hand is lighter in weight and in color and when side by side, they're easily identifiable.

This strange looking extra tag was on my 64 Belvedere wagon when I bought it several years ago.

No way that was a factory tag. Looks like a blob of lead that someone stamped.

With all due respect, I question the authenticity of
both these tags.

I am old enough to have been around and raced these cars
when they were new.
