Ebay #251129200084, beware!

Not mine, NA. I don't why I am posting this as everyone should see the description is completely wrong. One set of pictures shows a round tail light car and the other picture show a square tail light car. One side has belt line trim and the other side does not. Different wheels on each side.

Another crook in the crowd, always look or have the car looked at!!!

From what I recall, black plates were last issued in CA in 1969. Blue plates were issued in 1970. I agree, the description seems less than accurate on this one.

That's correct, If it was a California car it would have received a Blue plate.

Note the seller says it's a "black plate car", but maybe he doesn't know what that term means.

To me, "black plate car" means "a continuously registered California car that still has its original '63-'69 black license plate on current registration with the California DMV, or has a PNO declaration to the DMV that would allow the license plate to be reactivated. It comes with multiple registration certificates in the glove-box so there is proof to the DMV that the new owner can register the car with the same plate." It does NOT mean "a Car that used to have a black plate", or "a Car that comes with a black plate as a souvenir". That's my definition, others' may vary.

My personal definition of "black plate car" does NOT include a "YOM registration", if and when California allows that.

"Black plate car" is not really a legally-defined term, and I could see a (shady) used-car dealer saying a car is a "black plate car" that doesn't meet my definition above. Or a well-intentioned seller trying to express that a car used to have a black-plate because happens to be MY1969 or older. Neither counts for me.

Same with the term "restoration".

I'm digging the Alpina wheels...

[meeks]

matching numbers but not matching cars. i have a ’69 datsun with blue plates so does that mean it was not continuously registered?

Hey Randy,

Looked a little late I guess. What is showing now is only a square light car.

The VIN posted...2370286...was a car on Ebay Nov '10 needing some help.

It was black (orig??) and was in Riverside, CA.

I can only go by what the Seller state (VIN #), so I'm assuming it is the same car.

Sorry the pics are small.

[auggiemize]

I sent a note asking clarification on the "Alpina" wheels; might they be ATS... and asked what the previous color was, and seller responded that the wheels came off "a Alpina" and he'd check, and the previous color was blue...

I feel better...

I've sent him an email through eBay.

"Hi,

You have photos of two different cars in your add. Exactly which one are you selling? Also, if it is the 1976, it can not be a "Black Plate" car since it's a post-1969 vehicle and clearly has white plates on it. It also does not have Alpina rims. What are they?

Please let me know.

Thank you."

I'll let you know if he responds.
