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!

Because of Tom, I took the DMV on over my '74 with Blue Plates. From the paperwork, I guess they did it YOM.
First, she said I couldn't do it because it was newer than '69 so I showed her a printout of the "new rules" (from what had been posted). I had to do a couple of things: 1.) Had to sign a statement that I was a "Collector" of these fine German Windsuckers. 2.) Had to sign that I would not display the plates on the vehicle until approved by Sac-o-potatos. 3.) Had to sign that it was unmodified (I didn't modify it so I signed it). 4.) Have to get a VIN verification and they gave me a 30 days operating permit . 5.) I had the Pink Slip, Last Registration, both plates (last registration was 1989). Took a little time and we'll see what Arnie says. I had already checked that the plates had not been re-assigned. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I hope to hear the whole sad story at G&R - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ... hopefully with a happy ending & not a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) (sheep shanking)!!!! I cannot do my own yet cuz it ain't close to running, & I'm sure they'll want to so a personal inspectie-poo of it after sittin' in my garage since 85! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Glad to hear this info I researched for mine, is helping somebody out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
