(years later, but some other pictures of Stickers on '1046...) I've seen the air tire pressure on other cars, but on 1046 it was located not only on the glove box but also on the drivers door.  

  previous owners had really preserved 1046 (esp, the disclaimer stickers on the bulkhead glass and on the windshield (I've only seen the bulkhead sticker on two other cars, '936 and '1008), and have never seen another goose with the windshield sticker). The bulkhead sticker was signed "Alberto" on '1046. The date is not shown on '936, but is September 1969 on both '1008 and '1046---I'd believe this was only when the stickers were prepared, I don't think its likely that '1046 was produced in the same month as '1008 (oh, wouldn't it be nice if someone who has the history of DeTomaso would publish it...).

There was not a sticker (such as repo'd by Hall) with warning/disclaimer on the lid to the brake reservoirs on 1046. My guess is that the vin plate (the big aluminum plate Mobil advertisement) started around the late 8ma700's and the sticker on the brake reservoir door came down.  

Given the length of preservation, I'd also be inclined to think this Mobil antifreeze decal (anticongelante) was original...

Hello lee,

I was a little confused about your response on Ebay.

Please,  don't be piss off :-)

I only wanted to ask in a friendly manner
what participation I can count on, or what the value of this could be.
I also spend a lot of time, which I certainly would not take into account. Only portion of external costs.
I will gladly rework the draft to come as close as possible to the original.

I keep you up to date.

Best regards
