Sure, it's a '69 sportsroof, 351W 4V, 5191st one built at the Dearborn assembly plant.

You'd need the body code off the door tag to see if it's a Mach 1 or not.

No, small amounts of lacquer thinner on a rag, working slowly.

When the car is painted is normal to remove the tag then re add it? How is it held on? Pop rivit?

Lacquer thinner will immediately remove the black finish on a door data plate. The only way to deal with this situation is to purchase a new on from Kevin Marti. Yes it is correct to remove the tag. New rivets are available to reinstall.
