Subject: Re: [Healeys] YOM plates for california
Ron,
Maybe the local California cops but NOT the CHP (California Highway Patrol.)
In case those of us who live in California have forgotten, the state has no
money. Tickets for license modification are a money generator for the state
and the CHP is just looking for any infraction. I for one would not give
them the opportunity.
Twenty years ago Gordon Brockman and I were towing the 100M that I found in
Orange County back to his shop in San Diego. The car had sat for 20 years
in storage and hadn't been registered. We were using a tow dolly and since
the rear wheel were on a public highway the CHP officer who pulled us over
gave Gordon a ticket for which he then owed back registration, licensing,
ticket fee and fines to the tune of $1,600.00! That's back when CA had
money, we're broke now.
Cheers,
Curt

I must have missed the first part but obviously your car has not been
continuously registered, correct?
I have seen many classics at CA car shows that wanted the black plate who
did the following:
(Not legal, but everyone I've talked to even if pulled over, hasn't had a
problem with the police.)
They get a CA customized plate with the three letters and three numbers you
had originally. Then they send the plate to someone that re-paints them.
If you are "run" the plates show up as registered. Obviously the wrong
colors but people I've talked with say the cops have better things to do
than hassel you on that.
Just one possible solution. I don't know where you are located, but I see
them at shows in SoCal all the time.

Well, the latest in the endeavor to get the black plates on my 64 Healey is
that they gave me the registration and stickers but now are telling me they
are rescinding that. I have the registration that they say is not valid and
not in the DMV files. The problem is that I cannot prove that the first
sticker is a 1964 sticker under the pile of stickers on the plate. Since I
gave them my white plates, the will have to re manufacture them. And one
wounders why governments are loosing money. This has been going on since
July
with 5 separate visits to the DMV . Has any one been successful in getting
the
YOM plates registered? There was a post awhile ago that listed the letters
by
year. Can any one help me re find that information?
Thanks
