This is what it looks like cleaned up. My other cars are a 31 Vicky and a Tesla S.

I think the reason for fewer items for sale on e-bay is their policy. Some folks may not realize that to post you must give them a credit card on file and agree to any charge they post againt it. That is to facilitate their 'BUYER' protection policy which allows the buyer to claim that the item...

NC General Statutes covering this can be found by searching NC GS 20-63. Paragraph (d) dicusses plates. Part of that paragraph says "Any motor vehicle of the age of 35 years or more from the date of manufacture may bear the license plates of the year of manufacture instead of the current...

I am using a YOM plate that is not NC. I do have a valid plate with me at all times. I have read the statute very carfully and it does not specify That the YOM plate must be NC. I have printed the statute along with it's WEB address and carry it with me incase I run into an officer who is not...

Sounds like you will get good info from James Rogers. I went through the same thing you are and it was an administrative chore but no huge problem. They did inspect the car. The engine number did not match the Va title so I had to get a bond. I did not have to get it appraised at all. The...

I have replaced the cam in my 31 Vicky. I decided to replace the oil pump with a brand new one. The car has a 29 engine and as I get ready to put the pump and pan back, I find that the oil pump spring is firmly attached to the pan. The pan is not the very early style with a removable access...
