I spoke with Dave Miller yesterday and he mentioned thst there has been some discussion on the FFR site that if and when this is passed you would be mandated to switch to collector vehicle plates. That is Not the case. You could switch your car over to a 1965 Ford registration and have the option to put CV plates on or run a restored original plate and never have to contend with emmisions or tabs again. I think the issue was for guys that drive their cobras to work when it is nice as a back up commuter car. That would fall outside the provisions of the CV registration rules. In that case you do nothing and continue buying tabs every year. Hopes this clears up any misconceptions. This would be a huge win for everyone with a cobra replica that is registered as the year it was built.

You're probably tired of hearing from me, but S.B. 5585 Custom Car Registration reached the WA House Transportation Committee. Please contact as many Committee members as possible from the list. At least contact the Chair and 2 Vice Chairs. DO NOT CONTACT REP. FRED FINN. He has a personal vendetta out for collector cars. He introduced bills to first eliminate collector car plates and later to reduce the 30 year old window to 40 years old. I'm afraid if he gets a wiff of our bill he may be trouble. In your calls/letters note the unanimous Senate approval 48-0. If we can get this out of Committee I think we're home free. THANK YOU!!

The WA SEMA Bill passed out of the House Transportation Committee yesterday!!! We're 90% of the way home now. Steve McDonald from SEMA is pushing the Rules Committee to get it to a floor vote by the House soon. That's the last step before the Gov signing it. Please call/e mail your local state representatives to vote for SB5585. I'm going to be out of the country for a couple of weeks so please sign on to http://www.semasan.com/san/join.aspx to keep you up to date on final help needed to finish this. THANKS!
