HORSBYT Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Be prepared to wait....... I ordered mine in July and haven't seen them yet. I called the DMV and the guy told me because of CA State budget cuts and a recent "outbreak" in Folsom plates are delayed. October and still no plates....

When I got my car last Fall, I was on the Calif DMV wwebsite looking for something that wasn't already taken. It was pretty slim pickens' then. I finally came up with "AH SHLBY" Kind of lame, but that's all that was left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TClark1976 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Great idea for new plate on your SGT! I've been seriously throwing around the idea of Personal Plates for my SGT - I have no idea what the hell to get. I was thinking about "TMINUS1" or "GONE IN5" or "GOTCHYA" or "DONEYET" or "IM GONE" I don't know. . . . I asked about "MFG 013" - but because that's the format of MN plates. . . . I can't get a custom plate like that. We'll see what happens over the winter now that my SGT is basically garaged from now until early spring sometime.

Trevor Trevor, Iowa doesn't allow 3 letters followed by 3 numbers but the IADOT did let me use 4 letters and 2 numbers MFG O13. Did you try that combo?

leepic Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I got mine too, kinda boring though, but SGT owners can figure it out... SGTC197 It's a MD Ag Tag, so it's orange, and matches the color of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TClark1976 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 OK... Forgive me if this is obvious, but what's the meaning behind MFG 013? It's a plate that was on one of Carroll Shelby's vehciles back in the day. Personally, I can't remember the extact vehicle. . . there's a member on here (Adam) who has this plate on his SGT and will be able to provide much more detail to the question than I can.

ShelbyGT/SC Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Back in the 60's when Shelby American needed plates in California they went to the registry and got manufacturers plates. They came in bundles of 26 (a-z). They ended up gettng 3 batches from 1A to 3Z. These plates were all used on the cars for test drives like a dealer would use plates today. They were also used, from what I understand, during road trips and other fun events. Last year when I was trying like many to come up with a funky "Shelby" plate I remembered that during the Jan 2007 Barrett Jackson, Carroll's Super Cobra went on the block. So I watched the video I recorded and froze it when the Speed Channel camera went behind the car. That's when I saw MFG-0013 with 1C on the plate. I punched it in the Massachusetts registry and it was available so I ordered it. Weeks later, while reading through one of the SAAC magazines I had read a story that Rick Kopec wrote about those plates. There is a link in my signature to that article which I scanned and put in my photobucket site. I also wrote about it in my blog and there are more stories here in this forum about the plate. One such thread was where I was trying to get all 50 states to have the plate on a Shelby. Well I think CA is out. There are about 5 or 6 of us with the plate.

Lgs ShelbyGT Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I don't have a Shelby related plate but do currently have a Washington State University (WSU) collegiate plate: "WSU0002" It was the first one issued to the public when collegiate plates were first introduced in Washington about 10 years ago (WSU0001 went to a past president of the university) The plate has a white background with red letters & WSU logo which goes well with the Black Shelby I just checked on-line with DOL and the only Shelby related plate currently available is "SHELBGT" Washington DOL is same as some other states -nixing "MFG-013" What do you guys think? Thanks! Lg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipBeck Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Gentlemen, Arizona allows seven digits. Today I got a plate for my "2009" GT500 that I almost didn't bother to apply for because I was sure it would have already been taken. Simple, but nice. 9SHELBY The plate on my 2007 Shelby GT is 3SHELBY (7SHELBY was taken) Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
