Make - Kit
Body - 65 Cobra

The VIN from Superformance is SPO2743 but the Washington Licensing computer system won't alow "Oh" in the VIN so it's now a SP02743 "Zero"

Temporary collector plates were issued with the instructions to tape to the inside of the rear window as I was leaving. Still looking for window.

Now to check with insurance company to see if changes are necessary.

Does anyone know if Vanityy plates are available for "Collector Vehicles"?

Congrates on the retitle success!

If I remember correctly I asked DOL many years ago when I got my Collector Plates, and they said, "Yes you can put Vanity plates on...but why?" Vanity plates will have a yearly tab renewal and I believe an extra $40 to keep being vane every year too. With your Vanity I do not believe it still be a Collector Vehicle and of course with Vanity you will need to put a plate on the front.

Not requiring a front plate is a big reason I purchased Collector Plates (I was already titled as 1966) years ago, plus the avoiding the cost and hassle of yearly tab renewals. Now with Year of Manufacture plates, which I changed over to about two weeks ago. I can still legally run with no plate on front messing up the "Down-to-Business" Cobra look from the front.

I try to be humble not vane, and being a Motor-Head since High School in the 1970's I think YoM looks way cool in MHO.
