Found my plates this weekend

[POPO1984]

Found these plates on craigslist for 45 bucks for the pair. The lady who does my plates said she could get them registered for my truck

VERY NICE...
The price of plates has come down over the last couple of years...
Previously it was hard to find a useable pair under a $100

Perhaps it was because they can no longer be used for CLASSIC registration, but on only ANTIQUE ??

I hope not. There are plenty of horse stables though

Popo1084 here is link that might shed some light on what Allengator was talking bout.

I just picked up some YOM plates for my '71 and my '57...probably just use them at car shows and stuff then switch them out to my regular plates for the drive home.

very nice looking plates! I grab them whenever I find 67-72 VA plates for less than 50....which isn't very often

[ChevLoRay]

Those look nicer than the TX plates that were on the wifes' Lexus, that were only 5 years old at the time.

I have a "few" license plates from AR. Unfortunately, beginning in '68, our basic plates are good for both passenger vehicles and trucks rated below 3/4-ton. Prior to that, I have a few truck-specific plates that are dated. None for my '69, tho.

Nice find.

POPO, the link is what I was told basically the other day when I re-registered my YOM 65 plates, I am grandfathered.

[POPO1984]

Yeah I see that. I guess they will let me register my plates but when the 5 yrs is up thats it. Since I am registering for the first time after jan 1, 2011

[fuzzy23]

I found mine for $10

[Clyde65]

the only thing POPO is that you cant DD the truck, unless your in good with the cops.

[fuzzy23]

Well here in Ks the only restriction is it has to be an originally issued tag not reproduced.

[allengator]

I know alot of people that register as ANTIQUE good for 5 years and requires no state inspection!
You are not SUPPOSED to drive it everyday... But people do.....

I did the same thing for the Citcuit Rider...

[BAGNDRAGIT]

so rad!

[Musclerodz]

They can be used two way in ok. Register as antique which you do not want to do as it limits how you use the vehicle. The other way is as a vanity plate as long it is over 30 years old and have to have a decal displayed to show you have permission to display an expired plate and carry the vurrent plate in the vehicle

With a screen name of popo, I'm assuming he's the police. I'd imagine if that's the case he won't sweat running the plates outside of the guidelines every once in awhile. The cops at the city where I work have told me they couldn't care less how often I drive my heaps with the antique registration. They're too busy dealing with real law breakers to worry about guys like us.

TX, I hear ya, but you know those dern rookies get a wild hair and bust you for having too much dirt on your car. Arlington PD,Pantego and Mansfield all have that kind of rep.
