In Wa. you ARE required to have one on your Restoration Plate or also Called Year of Manufacture Plate.
WHen you register on the Plate you need to have a Tab (*Real or Repop as they accept both) matching the Model Year of the Vintage vehicle being registered.
License plate collectors in my area Love to get vintage plates with Stacks of real foil Tabs on them as they "peel" them back and sell them to swap meet goers seeking the correct year for thier car and plate. Often the Repop ones in Wa are off in color or graphics for each specific Year.
Didnt know that about Washington. In Oregon, when you run a correct plate with special interest tags, they just give you one special interest tag for the rear plate that sticks to where the year tag would be. I still run my front plate and got a Oregon correct 68 decal. If you have a early plate (say 1930s) you dont have to run the sticker as there was no place for them on those plates. The whole thing is as clear as the Willamette in what you can and cant run.
I doubt the scenario will be the same. If there is enough desire for the first gen camaro for dynacorn to build bodies of them, and how having a 5 seat muscle car can still be a practical fun driver. I would worry more about some of the corvette models. The owners of those are getting long in the tooth, and I think some of those C3 and C4 models could have trouble in collectability over the longer run
I am installing them on a 68.
I have a friend (& CRG-Member) that was interested in the same question. He consulted a crg core member whom indicated that even use of these on a 69 would require removal or major linkage Mods.
Actually not surprised it did not sell. The asking price of 950K is way beyond its value in my opinion. Yes, its a very important, beautifully restored with race history. I'm not alone on this, since there were no bidders. Now, that said, lets look at what its value is. Since we have to compare it to other top dog T/A cars like a Bud Moore Mustang, and also a Penske Javelin. What are those cars going for? That should give a ballpark value. You agree?
I would think a Tri-Power/Six Pac is better on the street than a dual 4 set up. Mopar, and some Fords did pretty well with them. Especially the 435 HP Tri-Powered Corvettes that was in production up until 1969.
I agree with JohnZ there were 3 duce intakes for smallblocks made by Edelbrock or Offy. There was one with 2GC,s on Graigslist around here a couple years ago for less than 1K. I thought about it but the carbs were all regular 2 barrels, but probably should have got it anyway. I think GM banned multiple carbs except the vette after the 1966 model year. Up to 66 pontiac and Olds had tripower since the 50,s. The chevy 348 also had tripower until 1961.
How about people who are not celebrities and have large collections? They don't count? Like your local gearhead who turns wrenches and does bodywork and paint everdyay. I deal with them all week. My friend and his wife own over 60 classics including funny cars. No disrespect but I'm not going to worship a celebrity. Has anyone seen the two brothers who have the largest collection of muscle cars. Google it. Surprised it is not posted on this site. They do not want the world to know who they are. But they do have some cars that they beat the living heck out of. Gearheads.
