i like STNRAY !
I'm also trying to decide on a personalized plate here in jersey.
How did you find out what plates were available? did you just go to the dmv and spit out names and they said yes or no?

68NJONV454,
Don't know about New Jersey, but here in Massachusetts you go on the Registry of Motor Vehicles website and punch in 5 choices for vanity plates and it tells you which ones are available and you pick one and they hold it for 30 days for you.
Jersey may have something similar. Try their website

Michigan has a website to enter a proposed personal license plate and it will inform you if it is available. It doesn't reserve the plate for you and the Secy of State can reject the plate when you order it in person. Mine? C3 RV, of course.

Fl has a website that you can search for available tag names either regular of specialty. You type the request and the data base responds with availibilities in various tags...neat huh?

It is avail in CT but its about 2X the price for registration
Im not sure any non Corvette people would understand it though...

I went to the CT site... they have way too many designs avail but heres the DUNTOV plate...Conserve Wildlife. If it said "Conserve The United States" I would have went for it
It looks pretty cool...

Do you have an option in Florida to use an original year (1972) plate? We have that in in Michigan as well as choice of historic or personalized plates. However the original year plate is lifetime, no renewal. The other choices require renewals. Saves money and hassles.

In FL you can register a same yr tag, takes a while for the DMV to resaerch it. I have a 72 tag with the letters CV which was for commercial vehicle or it could be used as CorVette...Also you have to pay renewals every year...
