Good one, thanks! Will add it to list.

Go to "Tom Schmidt's Mustang Page" and look in the left hand menu for "Vanity Plates" and you'll see his list which is several pages long, and deals with all years.

I like L8R G8R EAT DUST BYE BYE

Good one, SVTKate. How about:

Ohhh... I like those too. Particularly the 6T7 Hoss

I do appreciate (and like) these suggestions, but I am limited to six characters (which makes it so much more difficult!)... so it would have to be 67-HOSS for me.

Back home, I know someone who lived across the line in NY state, and on the old orange plates, he had "FLAMENCO". Yep, eight characters, with an "M" even. He's a published classical and flamenco guitarist. When he moved three miles to CT, he had to settle for KEYOF-E. ;-)

Thanks V'ger, I just did. Now, I have more to think about.

I think I'm going to go with my chosen moniker. More opinions are requested from the population at large. "Restomod" is a contrived term for restored & modified Mustangs, and some may dislike it for this reason, but that's what the car is. So 67-RMOD is fairly original, it answers the eternal question "what year is it", and also begs the question "what is RMOD"? And I think it looks pretty cool, too. MOD is obvious. R is not, so people will most likely just accept it and understand it. 67R-MOD would imply it is like an R-Comp car, modified. Not true. It's not an R-Comp, those were limited Shelbys of 1965, if memory serves. The R designation has subsequently been used in 1995 (for the 5.8 Cobra) and in 200x, for another limited-edition Cobra. Maybe 2001 or 2003, I can't remember. But in sixty-seven, there were'ne such a beastie, lassies and laddies

More opinions sought...

---------- How about:

SIX-SEVN

SIXTY-7

and other variations?

I am still pissed about my plates. When I moved to TN and applied for them, I was told that they are "offensive" and will not issue them.

I like that one. I owned a 65 A-code fastback for about three months, a rolling shell, was going to buy it to replace my first 67 coupe. For financial reasons I stuck with the 67, and got a nice T-code cheaply to modify. Still wish I had that fastback from time to time... it would have had a my 302 in it anyway, orig. motor was sold. Gorgeous cars.

Very befitting...

I like the first two better. A favorite... I saw a 66 hi-po / 4-spd. with "1QCK66" on it. Tried to come up with similar things with "7" but haven't come up with anything.

I'm still on the fence with OLD-NAG, OL-HOSS and variations, and my
