Holy crap! I've never seen that many before! Wow !!
Now I have a picture with a thousand tags. Unless there is only 800 there.
WOW! Just WOW! Incredible.

Think of it this way....every one of those tags is like a tombstone. It’s the only thing left documenting a unique car that’s long gone. One the tag is gone, no other documentation of that car (probably) exists. Take away a tombstone and you take away the last easily accessible documentation a person ever existed, who they were and when they lived.
I get it. I've had a few mopars without their fender tags. I try not to purchase a car without a fender tag.
Do you have a vin/tag registry of sorts? For those who have lost their fender tags and would like to possibly find their original tag? I know I've saved a few parts cars from different locations that had no tag as it was previously stripped.

I don’t have a registry. I just collect tags to help with research when possible.
This is not from my knowledge. I have asked some very informative people. There is some documentation on another site if anyone wants me to link to it. Otherwise this is what I've come up with for the Y84 option.
N.C.S. = New Car Service
I know that in LA & Chicago there were facilities that were contracted to perform the NCS for dealerships - I don't know if these dealers were just a showroom & lot and didn't have a service garage or that the volume of cars they dealt with was easier handled by outsourcing the NCS. There might have been additional locations.
Dallas Smith Service Corp. was one such facility - it was located near the LA plant (the location became SHELBY when they were involved with Chrysler in the '80s - all the numbered SHELBY/Chrysler Corp. cars were built/modified there) - I'll "assume" this N95 '73 Barracuda was shipped there also.
