So, I am offering it for sale to any California Speedster owner who'd like to use it.
Two years ago I ordered the Environmental Plates (blue-on-white) "SPDST." I then bought a vintage CA plate (yellow-on-black) with the same configuration "SPDST." When I got my month/year stickers from the DMV, I put them on the black plate and ran with the black plate on the car for two years - no problems. I carried the "real" plates in the trunk just in case.
I don't want to start an "auction" here, but I'd like to get at least $100 for the three plates (the black replica plate alone cost $75). If you're interested, e-mail me. I have the DMV forms to transfer ownership of the plates from me to you.

It's a nice touch for your classic Speedster.
