Folks,
As I plan to put my Bugeye back on the road, I am renewing the registration.
Problem: I don't have the number plates. The car was a vintage race car and
I don't know where the previous owner put the plates - He bought the car in
1972 as a race car (SCCA HP), detuned it and eventually registered the car
for the street. The plates got lost when he turned the Bugeye back into a
race car in the late 1990s.
I can get the plates replaced, but if there is a chance to buy and fit the
old CA "black plates", I would rather do that. I was told if I can get both
front and rear plates which were originally on a car the same year as shown
on my Bugeye's registration papers (in this case, 1960), I can get the DMV
to allocate the old plates for my Bugeye. I have been online but find no
info about this on the CA DMV website. Any one on this list knows for sure,
or can point me in the right direction?
