If DMV did remove the tags, it was because it was titled twice to 2 different owners. Very unusual, but it does happen. BUT, if they removed the tags, they will have replaced them with a DMV tag, whi

In California, a car that was a stolen recovery is often given an assigned number/plate issued by the state and placed on the "A" or "B" pillar of the car. In those instances that I'm familiar with,

I suspect all the reasons fall under the category of 'scrapped', but it means something somewhat different to CA DMV than it might to you. In effect, anything that disrupts the continuity of the ori

Just to be clear, most people do not consider it a "restoration" if you are making substantial modifications as well. Don't mean to start a flame-fest ... as I always say it's your car, it should pl

Chris, My advice would be to spend your time and money restoring the car to "new" condition. By that I mean replacing and repairing all the things that have been neglected in the past 33 years. Repla
