Grab them and I'll pay a finder fee and shipping to my shop in PA.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

If you don't get them you will be sorry later when you see a plate you "Could of gotten" go for some BIGG BUCKS like stovens said....JoeDonate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not.
Both are equally terrifying.

7 more pairs of 32 cali
and about 75 random unmatched plates ,but no more worlds fair plates......
All told about 150 plates gathered and theres atleast 250 more good uncut /unrusted ones on the house...probably another 3 or 4 hundred partial and rusted ones there too...just too much work to get off the house.
Going to try to snap some pics of the house.......Last edited by shawnlee28; 02-06-2008 at 08:16 PM.

In Cali you need a PAIR of serviceable plates to be able to use them. I found a pair of '51 Cali plates DMV cleared....$500....grab as many pairs as you possibly can.....could be worth a lot of $$$Our race team page

There is a guy in my area that refurbs tags like that, then sells them for atleast $100 a pop. He'd probably cry if he seen all of those.Go Hokies!!!!!! ACC CHAMPS '04,'07,'08
