Yeah....I know of them. But I'm looking for originals that have fallen off the DMV record so that I can use them on the new 356 project I have....

Posted by: jim_hoyland Jan 28 2007, 01:27 PM

If the car has a current license plate number-or is about to get one- you could have those numerbers/letters embossed on the aftermarket set?

Just a thought

Posted by: mikez Jan 28 2007, 02:20 PM

yeah, done that with a personalised plate, already...it's on my 911 in blue with yellow letters. At 75 per plate, plus the annual fee it's a bit pricey.

However, no such animal as a personalized yellow background plate and using modern CA numbers there are too many......they only had six...3 letters and 3 numbers like JJF 317....my old VW bug plate....

Hmmmm, sounds like Mikee is going CW on us.

Posted by: mikez Jan 28 2007, 04:38 PM

Hardly....I just like things different. Crappy reflective CA plates aren't high on my list.

Posted by: brer Jan 28 2007, 10:51 PM

I have a matched set in original paint.
They are in Ventura as well, so you would have to wait for me to head up there to dig em out.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Jan 28 2007, 10:52 PM

mike,

i emailed my uncle....
"they usually run $150-300 depending on condition. They're actually 56 plates with a 58 sticker. I can find a set for you."

Posted by: brer Jan 28 2007, 10:53 PM

You may find that a little metal tab with the year on it is needed to be "right"

Posted by: mikez Jan 28 2007, 11:51 PM

I'll trade ya A-ron's spare kidney.....

Posted by: Aaron Cox Jan 28 2007, 11:59 PM

as long as i get a 2.8 motor and an oil tank... we are cool.

Posted by: mikez Jan 29 2007, 12:01 AM

In the mail.....anyways....if some one has a set that they use as a wall hanger....all I need is to borrow them....have DMV inspect them, register that number, they can have the plates back...I'll get repros made....

Posted by: brer Jan 29 2007, 12:03 AM

how about this,
if you dont find what you want by the time I get up there next, you can check them out.
Its going to be a few weeks at least until I can do that trip.

Posted by: mikez Jan 29 2007, 09:45 AM

No hurry....the ride isn't even in CA yet....still in the boonies of New Jersey. Needs a complete strip and refurbish.

Posted by: brer Jan 29 2007, 09:57 AM

something told me you were going to need it.

Posted by: rmital Jan 29 2007, 10:27 AM

....you have to drive about an hour past the boonies to get to where the car is.....

Posted by: mikez Jan 29 2007, 02:28 PM

I can't wait to see this one! That is going to be sweet! Are you leaving the vinyl top?

I would like to have a cream white with a saddle top and saddle interior.
