- Stock 1973 Mustang Convertible with a 351C 2v and C6
Modified 1970 Mach 1 M-Code with a 351C 4v Manual
Had a few plates over the year...Having owned a bunch of Mustangs and then registering them after moving from New Jersey to.Delaware. I sold a few of cars, but I have kept the plates.
I also have a set of very nice late Sixties New York Car Dealer Plates. I was planning to use them on my 69 428 Cobrajet since it was sold new in New York, but I sold the car and kept the plates.
Delaware has a special designation for highly Modified classic and antique cars. If the car is significantly modified from what came from the factory, then the Delaware DMV designates the car as a Street Rod and your car gets a license plate beginning with "SR" and a number. My 70 Mach is "SR695".
Another interesting fact about Delaware License Plates is you can buy and sell plate numbers privately and register and use them on your car. I read about Delaware residents paying (many) thousands of dollars for what are called low-number porcelain plates. I have never heard of this phenomenon in any other states. Anyone know of another state where you can do this?
