Shelby cars and coffee Las Vegas

[427hunter]

I went from the normal cars and coffee in Henderson over to the Shelby cars and coffee in Vegas- mostly newer Shelby cars and kit cobras but still cool - they all appreciated the 69 - hard to believe there are not more Shelby's here in Vegas? At least down here they know what the gt500 is, when I had it up north in Reno people thought it was a custom car Oh in Reno 6S853 is a red mustang.

I saw your car at the Eastern Ave Cars and Coffee and was hoping to visit with you, but by the time I came back around to your car you had left. Your car is absolutely beautiful. I love the black California plate with the stickers peeled back to 1969. My '67 GT500 is an original black plate California car that still had them on it when I bought it in 1982. I peeled the stickers back to '67. There was a '67 Corvette at Cars and Coffee on Eastern Avenue that also had black plates peeled back to 1967. Pretty cool to see.

Are you talking about display only plates, or plates that the car is actually registered on?

Cars from the 60's that have been continuously registered in CA since the 60's, would have black plates with a current year sticker, and no other year sticker. But CA has a program that allows retro-fitting the black plates onto 63-69/70 cars, and those would have two year stickers, one for the model year of the car, plus the current year.  It normally would not be legal to have a CA black 60's style plate with only the old year visible. My discussion excludes the new style black CA legacy plates.

I live in Montana so my California plates are just for show. When I purchased the car in '82 there were stickers piled on top of each other so I peeled them all off until I got to the first sticker from 1967. I've driven to shows with them on and have never been stopped for it, so I run with them occasionally.

Nice.  When you no longer need that CA plate, it is worth money, if you have the pair.  Even without the old sticker now showing, it is worth money to car owners in CA, as a candidate to be retro-fitted, but with the sticker, for someone with that year of car, that will save them from having to buy the year sticker separately.

Excellent cars this morning, Saturday Feb 4th. This is turning out to be a really good gathering here in Vegas/Henderson.
