Ken Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: ACE on December 29, 2002, 12:54:33 AM Hi Ken
I want it for a project. Have you got one for sale? ACE :D Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: mcl1959 on December 29, 2002, 11:10:53 AM No I dont have 1 for sale but I do collect the tags as a bit of a hobby when they appear.
Sounds like an interesting project - stock or modified ? Are you going to put in the pillar switch and taxi bar to make it look like a gennie 217? My current project is a FE 217 but I have taken out the taxi rail more out of safety than anything else. I will keep an eye open 4 u but I guess you realise that they are pretty hard to find.

I've got a stock FC business sedan that has lost its identity :'( Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: mcl1959 on December 31, 2002, 03:37:17 AM Oh no - I'll bet the tag was pinched by a collector.
FC 217 is probably the second rarest car to find of all time - I have recorded only 6 in my entire collection of body numbers. I have a definite dislike of removing tags from cars that are still restoreable. None of the tags I have ever taken were from restoreable cars.

Which would be the rarest?? I reckon that FC Postie van one I have is rare!! :o Rob Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: RET on December 31, 2002, 07:57:20 AM I'll take a punt and say FE-217 is the rarest of the standard issue type plates. Special orders like your van's ID are in a class of their own!
cheers RET Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: 4hammers on December 31, 2002, 10:56:29 AM Hi RET.
I agree with the "Special Order" plates ;D, but I think the FC-217 was actually rarer than the FE-217. The reason being, the FC-217 was only produced for a very short period (6 months I think??) of time before it was discontinued. That is what I have been told, but will stand corrected if KEN decrees it!! I am keen to find out. Rob Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: mcl1959 on December 31, 2002, 11:46:25 AM Yep your right FC 217 is rarer than FE 217. The hardest ID plate to find anywhere is FE 219. I have now got one thanks to 4 hammers spotting one on ebay and alerting me to it.
Only 5 recorded in my travels. Ken Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: FE_STD_WAGON on December 31, 2002, 10:12:20 PM Hi guys
You didn't think I could resist repling when an FE219 was mentioned did you? I know where 1 of those 5 FE219 plates are eh Ken. pretty rare! Any way guys have a great new year and happy hunting regards Mick Title: Re: FC-217 I.D TAG Post by: cajerridoc on January 11, 2003, 11:38:15 PM Slim has a FC 215 body shell for sale under parts for sale.
