Really have no room for it, but I could not resist a nice Christmas present to me.  Car cover on the way as there is no room in the garage with two Austin Healeys and a Harley Davidson in a two car space.  The former owner requested Year of Manufacture (YOM) plates so it has the black with gold letter California plates.  The rear plate has a 1969 sticker on it.  I guess since the plates were first issued in 1963, subsequent years require the year of the car for a sticker.  Has not been registered since November 2018 and I have the 2018 sticker in an envelope in the car.  Not sure how this works though.  Is the 1969 sticker what is supposed to be on the plate as long as there is a current registration?  Is the 2020 sticker I will be getting supposed to be on the plate when I get it?  I'm sure I will find out when I make that dreaded trip to the DMV after the holidays.Mike MacLeanBy the way, the former owner is a gentleman from the UK that came to the US and sold HGTV to the network for big money.  He brought the channel over from the old country.  He sold this one because he bought another nicer one and is having a V6 put in it. I bought this one from his mechanic, the same guy that did the R&R of my Datsun transmission in my Bugeye recently.  Not bad for $6000 eh?  Runs great with a Weber, aluminum head and a long center branch header.  Looking for an overdrive transmission for it now.
