Passing along a set of California Blue Plates to any 914 member that will clear them with the DMV and register them on their car.

I believe the The D series lettering to be period correct for a '70-'71 vehicle when registered new.

These were given to me by a fellow 914 World Member and I have decided to go with personalized plates instead as my car originated out of state so no need for these.

Here is the link for the CA Year of Manufacture Application to re-register:

https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/8...pdf?MOD=AJPERES

I will ship these at N/C to the first member that WILL promise to register these for use on their vehicle and and not turn them for a profit.

All I ask is that you update the listing with a photo of the plates on your car with the registration (with personal info omitted)

Who wants em???

I have a set of Blue plates that were given to me.
So these can be re-activated to a different car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Is it as simple as going to the DMV and swap these instead of my current ones? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Any idea of the fees involved? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yes, as of January 2016 all of the Blue plates can be reused once they are "DMV Cleared" by filling out the appropriate forms as per the below link:


https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/8...pdf?MOD=AJPERES


If you are a AAA member, you can go through them for DMV services and they can answer all questions

These plates in every day condition sell on Ebay between $75 & $125/pair and restorers are asking $350 a pair.

If I am not mistaken you have a '73 model year and the period correct ones are letters G through K.

For another point of ref, my 71 bus had CWS on the plates, so yeah Dxx is also probably 71 original.

If anyone happens upon blue plates with DUG, I will pay extra;)

cheers,

Yes, my early 73 1st registered in Nov 72 is GVS.

Thanx for posting the DMV info Calvinator, as I wasn't aware that they had finally moved up the YOM date from 69 to 80.

I did a YOM for our 1960 Avion T20 trailer (like Airstream) a few years ago, when it was still only up to 1969 (& up to 1972+/- or something on trucks only for some reason).

Thank you for the information, this is great! I will check at the AAA office. Not between G & K but close. Even comes with the patina...

California is definitely doing blue YOM plates since the beginning of the year. The no go was the new blue/gold retro plates similar to the black/gold ones that got approved. Needed 7500 orders on each before approving and only the black ones made it.

These were the plates that were on my wife's 1977 Datsun pickup. Her name is Jaye so that will make it clearer!

I was advised that there was indeed some overlap into the L-- series in late '73! You my friend are mostl likely " period correct"!

Heard that DMV distributed plates in bulk to the various offices and that the relationship between model year and sequencing can vary depending on location. Cities having lots of cars went through alot more plates than smaller cities. So smaller places could have issued lower sequences for the same model year than bigger cities. Just a theory..

This is absolutely correct. In those days, DMV handed out plates when they had 'walk in' clients. Different DMV offices got consecutive group of plates They were grouped by the 1st letter. . so in the beginning,of 1970, some offices got "A" and some got "B" and so on up to the letter that was needed to fulfill 1970 needs. . SO a ""D" plate would have been issued at the same time as an "A" plate depending on the office that was issuing them. My mom was a DMV manager The good part of that is I never stood in a line and could pick-a plate from what they had on hand. .
