Default AI generated artwork.

I have not tried this yet, but you might get decent results using an AI generation art engine, that can accept a scan of the decal. You could then find an appropriate substrate (backing material) and print it out

I think I saw that decal on a '74 or '75 a few years ago at the Trans Am Nationals. Never seen one since.

Give me a few days and I may be able to help out. I have a buddy with an impeccibly restored '75.

Assembly manual has any pics? It's one of the few I don't own, or have a reason to.

No real pictures of it in manuals. Just wanted people to know it would be late in the '74 model year to find it.
Here is one off a '75 trunk lid.

Not the same photo. Yours has rust around spoiler nut opening and mine has bent corner of decal.

Different Blues. The first perhaps faded, or wiped with cleaners. Still can't make out the part number as matching what I said or not.

The assembly manual has that part number (498785, NOTICE LABEL), just don't know if it's on the decal.
