It's taken three weeks but it is home.And for Fox here's the buck tag. It has tilt steering,delay wipers,no radio so I don't know, it did have a rear louver factory but second owner said it blew off going down the highway.

I can't say if the louvers were factory or dealer add-on. They were an option in '79 but I have never seen a '79 tag with the louvers code that was on '80 and later tags. It may have been a different code in '79, there may be no code at all for them, or the cars that claimed to have factory louvers were really dealer add-ons. I just don't know yet.

I cant believe you got all that off that tag, and there was a tag underneath that said road abrasion on it.I have it too. What colour interiors did a Pace car come with?

I've been studying buck tags for a while.
The secondary "Road Abrasion" tag goes along with the "RA" code on the primary tag.

I was wondering how to tell if this was an actual Canadian car? Would anyone know how to tell?
