California Legacy License Plates

[MR 325]

This is so cool Mark! Thank you for posting it. I want black plates. :p

That would be cool, but its the 7500 x $50 by 2015 I hope they get... I have my eyes on a '56 VW oval ragtop the black plates would be perfect... I'm going to start building the 2180cc motor in the summer.

Since there is already thread jacking going on ITT. If you arw going to use an 82mm stroke crank, you want to go with a 2110cc motor (90.5 bore B/stroker pistons) or a 2275cc (94mma B/stroker pistons). The 2180cc (92mm bore) with it's 92 mm cylinders will run hot and the cylinders will warp loosing ring seal and compression because they are too thin to dissipate heat correctly. Just a heads up.

Black for sure! We'll see what I get though.

Update, as of today:



The DMV wants 7,500 orders per style, by January 2015. The black will surely hit that number. The blue... maybe not.

Everyone's just finding out about this? They've had petitions out for the plates since the beginning of the year

I am stoked. The 85 I picked up came with the 1985 license plate. Looks so perfect for the age of the car. Every now and then, California does something right.
