-Why not register it it California utilizing your NM address and run 'black plates'?
In years past CA req'd a Californian or at least a CA address, but that stopped at least a decade ago.
They just want the fee. So my current CA title has a NV address and I can run my 'serialized' HPM NQR 842 plates (numerically right between Vic Edelbrock's (RIP) '65 and Bob Key's (RIP) '65 in the order HPM sold them-most cool);
-regarding official paperwork: I bought my car in 1974 from the original owner who bought it directly from HPM. HPM never sold him a 'Ford' nor a 'Shelby', nor is it now. I have always renewed using the original paperwork verbiage from HPM:
The make is: 'MUSTA', and;
the body type model is: 'CPEGT350';
The VIN is SFM5S339.
That's it!
BTW there has never been a query or mention of value or anything. Entirely unremarkable.
Mike-check it out.
