Hello Everyone,
I usually don't ask for help on something so trivial but I can't decide.
When i first got my classic vehicle plates they randomly gave me "997". So of course the 997 guys are still giving me crap about having that number on a 914.
After waiting almost 5 months for my DMV appointment, I plan on getting new personalized plates.
Here are my options that are available.

73BXSTR
ORGBXTR
4ORSCHE
SLO FUN
MIDENG
73CMXIV
NEUN14
NEIN14
VWGUTS

Help me decide please.
Thanks in advance
Mike

Have you looked into the blue 1982 Circa plates? It is a great way to get a special plate number without paying the annual vanity fee. It is $27, one time.
That is how I got C987 for my Cayman and had P/E T 914 on my Van (truck plate)
Options for you might include POR 914, your initials 914 or ??? 914. Call the Special Plate Section to check on availability.

I was thinking the same and just keep busting their chops. So far NEIN14 is the winner.

John,
I was going to get the blue one. I think they look better too. I'll check availability tonight when I get home.

I like NEIN14 and MIDENG. I am not sure that Blue/yellow is available in CA. If they are please let us know.

I'll never forget gassing up and a guy asking me what type of Fiat my car was!

Given that I would never pay the state extra $ for a personalized plate (at least in MI it costs extra) AND the fact that the current plate annoys the 997 crowd I'd keep it! That would be a win-win for me!

But then again I'm an .

Otherwise, I like NEIN14

Where's Wills?

Posted by: VegasRacer Nov 21 2020, 10:36 PM

Another option Mike . . . . . . I expect that Classic Vehicle 0914 is still available after I sold my Fiat a few years ago. (Elvira wears Classic Rod 0914.)
Again, call the Special Plate Section during business hours. They are very helpful in getting expired registration numbers back on the road.

John,
I just called them. They said if I want the old blue style plates it would not still be a classic vehicle and I'd need to smog every year. So I'll sticks with the common ones and just have the "classic vehicle" text removed with whatever is available that I like.
So far NEIN14 is in the lead.

Thanks for the update Mike. I was wondering how your DMV phone call went.


Please add my vote for NEIN14.

Me still waiting for the California DMV to answer the phone

Years ago, I considered getting UR BOXTR for mine.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=10318 I have so far been unable to figure out how to get custom antique tags in Virginia. Was it a pain?

Not to spoil the fun, but years ago I had a friend that was a CPA that also taught taxation theory at the local college.
He mentioned that the IRS uses public data to determine who they audit. One of the keys was DMV data. Having a vanity plate was a factor they considered made an individual more likely to have not reported their earnings correctly.
