Jeff Berk Posted July 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2020 I've been searching for an Ohio 1974 license plate to go with my '74 260Z. In Ohio, you can use a historic license plate or an old license plate that matches the year of your car on a historic vehicle. Right now there is one on e-bay "Z N" as in Z'n or Z'ing If anyone see something better let me know. I'm looking for something closer to 260Z.

Patcon Posted July 11, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2020 Make sure you know all the specifics In South Carolina they dont allow any vanity plates for year of manufacture plates. Also only certain letters are register able. I can't fully explain but as historic plates get registered they move down the alphabet. When we looked for Codys goon, I almost bought plates that wouldn't have worked. I had to look for a lower letter plate Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64240-license-plate-hunt-for-74/#findComment-602476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted July 12, 2020 Share #3 Posted July 12, 2020 I bought my y.o.m from the tag doctor in Georgia. Super nice guy that restores them to like new. Very happy customer. https://www.tagdrstore.com Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64240-license-plate-hunt-for-74/#findComment-602482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunZGuy Posted July 12, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 12, 2020 The perfect period-correct plate is probably hanging on the wall in a dive bar in Steubenville ?

Patcon Posted July 12, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Here is a source but I'm not sure it's who I used https://www.shoplicenseplates.com/ohio-license-plates there is a "26 ZR" plate there that might work if you can register it I believe this is who I used. He annotates which plates are register able or not http://www.scplates.com/for-sale/South-Carolina He covers Fl, Ga, SC, NC & Va Edited July 12, 2020 by Patcon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64240-license-plate-hunt-for-74/#findComment-602511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Berk Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted July 19, 2020 Patcon I like that 26 ZR. Do you think anyone would notice if I added a "0" in there?

Patcon Posted July 19, 2020 Share #8 Posted July 19, 2020 Doesn't look like it will fit and they look like raised letters. Might be hard to do well... Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/64240-license-plate-hunt-for-74/#findComment-603051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Berk Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted July 29, 2020 Unfortunately, no. It's a 1973 plate but my car is a 1974 (January I think) so the date is wrong. I purchased it anyways since I could possibly use it as a front plate. I'm a bit confused why someone in 1973 would of got a D 260 Z plate since the 260Z wasn't made until 1974.
