California is unique with YOM plate registration. 1969 is currently the last year a passenger vehicle can be registered with YOM plates. In Washington state the laws are a bit less restrictive. I have registered my 72 Z with a YOM plate. Only one plate is required, and the registration never expires. The law does limit the use of the car to driving to and from shows and club functions, for testing purposes, and (I like this one) for pleasure. To me, the last line gives me the ability to drive the car all I choose, as every time I drive it, I do so for my pleasure.

Reptoid Overlords Posted January 22, 2022 Share #26 Posted January 22, 2022 Yes in Washington you just bring the license plate to the Dept. of licensing office and depending on how bad of a day the cashier is having they just re register the car with the vintage plates you brought in. They just have to be the same plate design that would have been issued the year that the car was built. My car ia an '80ZX, but these plate numbers likely would have been issued in the 1970's.

KenFirch Posted January 22, 2022 Share #27 Posted January 22, 2022 From what I read it says 69 or older! Commercial has 1970! Did I miss something? They extended YOM program to 1980 and older cars, but it’s odd the DMV website doesn’t mention that except on the application form.I’ll do some more homework.https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/file/year-of-manufacturer-yom-license-plate-application-reg-352-pdf/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/66275-new-gold-standard/?page=3#findComment-634705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does look like you have to renew the license. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/66275-new-gold-standard/?page=3#findComment-634710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenFirch Posted January 23, 2022 Share #34 Posted January 23, 2022 z8987, if you're going to buy a pair of blue plates for your car, here's one: It's hard to find someone in the US to make steel plates (vs aluminum) anymore. I had a guy in Germany make me a set of steel ones a couple years ago. DMV is use to seeing restored old plates now a days. You'll have to call the DMV to make sure it's "clear" to use, since it is a legit plate that was probably used back in the day, and you can't order personalized plates of a valid pattern used in the past. Just throwing a risky idea out there! 😉 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/66275-new-gold-standard/?page=3#findComment-634742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diseazd Posted January 23, 2022 Share #35 Posted January 23, 2022 Interesting that your car has a rear sway bar. I don’t think the Z’s ever came with a rear bar from the factory. Do you know if the previous owner installed it? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/66275-new-gold-standard/?page=3#findComment-634759 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it was installed by a previous owner. The installation of mine looks like a bit of a hack job to me. I check the undercarriage photos of the BaT cars and several have had similar versions installed. Anyone have an opinion about whether these make a noticeable difference? I've cleaned it up since this picture was taken, but I haven't re-installed the suspension yet.
