NY Registration Woes

I finally got it registered on Thursday! My appointment at the NYS Field Inspection went smoothly. When I got home I had a message from the "good guy" at the Tech Unit in Albany and he offered to fax out the form so I could register it that day. I thought that was really cool for him to call me. What a clusterf**k the DMV was though. First, my insurance card was more than 45 days old from the effective date, had the wonderful people at Heacock Insurance fax out a new one lickety split. Then, the DMV said they couldn't register it as Historic that day, I had to mail the application into Albany... needed yet another insurance card since the one I had said Historic. Then the DMV's fax m/c kept coming up with a busy signal at Heacock, but they just kept trying until it went through. Well, I got my plates a couple minutes after they were suppose to close. Been cruising a lot... I love it! Having a ball!

Thanks Rick. That Malachite Green really grew on me. I wouldn't even consider anything else now!

The saga continues... I wasn't able to get an historical registration at the office here, they said I had to mail an application into Albany. Got a call from them this morning. They said the Cobra would qualify for an historical registration, but he had to check with their legal department about putting on a vintage plate. I want to put on a NY '64/'65 plate. Funny how another Cobra I know of in town got a historical registration and the same vintage plate done at the same DMV office I went to.

The saga ends! I got the historical registration and vintage plate approved! Got the new registration sticker with the vintage plate number on it today. Only took 3 months and two weeks!
