Congrats, 25 is the biggest year for cars. I'm looking forward to having a 25 year old car. I already have antique tags and a '79 plate for my Yamaha 650.

It would be legit huh? I cant WAIT :D Oh man...that literally made my day. Just to know I'll be able to be rockin' those plates. Talk about an eye catcher!


yes, you have to take them to the dmv to make sure the #s aren't registered to someone else first. then you can do your plate transfer the regular way i guess. guessing the #s won't be a problem as they were a diff number letter combo then I believe

Right that's what I've always been told about Y.O.M. plates. Seeing as I still have to sometime get around to buying some '38 plates for the Buick. :hick: Usually go for like $50-60 not bad at all....but that's the asininely cheap side of me!!!! Very nice news though.

In North Carolina a vehicle has to be 35 years old to qualify for any antique or historic vehicle status.  So I'm counting the days until 2022! :rolleyes:

Here, no emissions for 1967 and earlier, and emissions every year for every car after. Except for 1995 up, for some reason they get to skip every other year. My car will never qualify for historic plates, and unless I move outside my county, I will always have emissions.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Happy Birthday Dan's Cat!!! Still lookin good after all those years!

I've had classic plates on my T-Bird since it turned 15. I've also had classic ins. since then. I just wish we could personalize them, I had 1BD BIRD on my plate until I got the classics. I still have the old plate and registration so if I ever get another it'll get renewed and put on it. I actually did have it on my 95 Bird when I had it.

you should look into how long before your state allows that custom plate to be reissued especially now that you put it out there that in Pa. that name is open. just some food for thought

Thanks, I'll defenately check it out. But I'm pretty sure without sending it back to them it keeps it tied up. I could be wrong though.

I just looked at it and it's been 4 years since it's been on a car. I don't know if there's a certain time limit before they reinstate it or not, of course if I get turned down when I try to renew it I'll know.
