Do you pay annually for CA personalized plates? Or is it just a one time charge?

There are considered specialized plates and you have to pay for them annually.

Yes, it's turning into a nice little revenue stream for CA DMV. I am even seeing them on new model cars. Not even personalized ... just sequential.

Pay annually to keep them even if they are not on a vehicle

Yes, just like the originals. I have personalized blue/golds and have been paying for years.

 

[belmateo]

I had my blue/gold ones that I kept for years and they "let" me put them on my new car after paying a penalty. But they were to good to let go.
They read
CALIFORNIA
GROWN

That's nice of them to "let" you use your own B/G plates for a fee. They're all heart. ;)
Did they hit you up for 3 years worth of penalties?

 

[belmateo]

Of course, the farmers and growers have been after me for years to sell those plates to them. I am keeping them. They can mean whatever you want them to.

Yes, it would be tough to let them go. I could see a lot of interest in them.

 

[Evildart]

As I found out at DMV you can only keep blue personalized plates.
If they are sequential plates they cannot be transferred to any other car.
I tried to switch the blue plates to the Challenger, but because they where not personalize, I could not.
I was told I could keep the blue plates and as long as I have a registration showing that they went on the Dart at one time, I could return them to the Dart if I ever give up the 340 6PK plates.

 

[belmateo]

correct

Here's what they look like on the car

Hi Everyone, my 72 is just about road worthy. (steering was extremely scary). The only meet I know about at this time in the Sacramento area is in December - December 11 Toy drive. Are there any others coming up?

Have any details on that event? The Cap Cruisers are still meeting every Wed in Folsom (Deneys) and there's a weekly get together in Auburn at Mel's. There are others as well as long as it's not raining.

Here are some details on the event.
The name of the event is; Dreams and Drivers 3rd Annual Karts, Kids and Cars Toy Drive. Here's a link for the facebook event.

I work during the week. I'll search for more area groups.

Thnx for the info. I will try and make it since it's a charity event. I've been to so many shows and get-togethers over the years that I gravitate more towards events that actually cruise/drive around.

East Bay machine shop that knows Mopar?

A friend just asked me where a friend can get his 72 360 heads worked on. East Bay preferred.

I am not sure what the engine is in but I was told it is in an Art Car for Burning Man. The wilder the better : )

Thanks guys!

Mike
