OK All -
IIRC - with some 60% of the total 914 production coming into the USA, & 40% of the total going into California ALONE for first sale new - & with more Cali 914s surviving due to the milder climate out here ... . . .... that's a big chunk of the 914s still around today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) There have been several posts with questions on how to (re-) register your 914 with expired reg. &/or old plates, etc.; as well as those who have somehow managed to hold onto their original issue plates & wondering if they can go back to them or keep them when registering their 914 for the road again. Well, apparently Cal DMV & our illustrious Legislature have decided to clarify & expand a couple of programs for re-registering the original plates, as well as extending the date for the "Original Year of Manufacture" plates program to at least include those from 1969 build dates. I too have an early 1973 MY 914-2.0 with its original plates, which has been out of registration & PNO for most of the time it's sat in my garage awaiting resto since 5/85 (no PNO since 12/92), so I went searching on the DMV website for more info., & found the following which may be helpful to the rest of you out there. These are mostly hidden away in corners of the DMV website requiring some time searching, so hopefully I've saved you some time searching them out. If you've looked at them before, then please note that these were revised in mid & late 2009. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Got your old plates? ... bringing a former Cal 914 back? ... want to get repro Black & Gold plates for your 1969 Manufactured 914-6 or 914 (-4)? ... want to try out Historical Vehicle plates? ... read on & link out! REASSIGNMENT OF OLD PLATES: - NEW CHANGES ALLOW VEHICLES ON DATABASE TO GO BACK TO OLD PLATES: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vehindustry/vin_memo...009/09vin20.pdf YEAR OF MANUFACTURE PLATE PROGRAM: - ONLY UP TO 1969 my FOR AUTOS, BUT IN LATER YEARS THEY MAY EXTEND THIS FURTHER OUT AGAIN: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/about/lad/pdfs/yom/new_text.pdf http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vehindustry/vin_memo...009/09vin09.pdf HISTORY OF CAL PLATES & DMV: - FOR THOSE ASKING WHEN WHICH PLATES/COLORS & NUMBERING SYSTEMS CAME IN: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/plates/licenseplthistory.htm http://www.dmv.ca.gov/about/profile/milestones.htm http://www.dmv.ca.gov/about/profile/history.htm HISTORICAL VEHICLE PLATES: - ANOTHER OPTION FOR 914s TO THE CURRENT "WHITE PLATES": http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d03/vc5004.htm DMV HOME PAGE: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/ Additionally, DMV has apparently expanded what their "Business Partners" (e.g.: AAA, dealers, etc.) can now do with these areas above, because before it changed at the end of 2009, AAA had told me they couldn't do these services, but apparently now can do at least some of them in some cases. So there may be an upside to DMV's cutbacks of service with the state's budget crisis! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheers!

IIRC I was told in order to register as Collector Car in Oregon you have to show proof of Collector Car insurance.
If you want to use the YOM plates order the sequence as a personalized plate and then use the YOM plates instead? Keep your new ones in the car just in case? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) BTW - I got some pretty good quotes on collector car insurance at a $20k stated value (what they cover to you less deductible - no questions asked) with <5000 mi per year (pretty generous. Both AAA & Hemmings were at $200 - 215 for me as sole driver! I was pleasantly surprised! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Now all I need is enough time & dry days to git er dun & on the road again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Although this might be great for many of the folks that drive teeners here, it just doesn't work for for people like me that drive their 914's a minimum of 15,000 miles a year. It not really the mileage restriction that's the biggest problem, but the other restrictions that would greatly enhance the risk of having the policy cancelled should i be found to not be adhering to their limited allowances. If this fits your driving habits, go for it. If not, be very careful before using a "collector car" policy. Eric Read |
