Default Personalized Plate ideas...

I'm about to get personalized Texas plates for my 82 Vette. Here's some I was thinking about... feel free to add some cool ones, I'm not sure what I'm going to put yet.

LAST C3
TX VET (Texas Vette)
TXS C3 (Texas C3)
350 CFI (350 Crossfire Injection)
CRS FIR (CrossFire)
82 VET

Here's some I think would be funny, but would never put on my car...

BIA-TCH (Biaaatch !!)
GOT-RYC (GoT RiCe?)
FRD-SUX (Ford Sucks)
RYC-KILR (RiCe KiLLeR)
NO-NOS
GOT-NOS
***-UBL (Fock Usama Bin Laden)
PIS-OFF
BYE-BYE

Duck,
That's awesome. I like that one, I'll probably go with LAST C3 unless something better pops up. Some idiot will probably think it's the very last C3 and steal it. :eek:

It gets a little tiresome explaining it to people who don't know Corvettes, but those who do, like it a lot. I get a lot of compliments on it. And thanks for your compliment too. :D

But also tell him how tiresome it is to explain to the vettexperts that, well, no it was not the last C3 to come off the assembly line in 82!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: well, gee, there just werent enuf letters allowed for LASTC3MODELYR :)

Jeremy, If you do go with that plate, be prepared for the big vette shows, you have someone come up to you and say, "Hey, dude, there is a guy in Pennsylvania that thinks he has the last C3"

That's why I didnt get the plate, FIRST C3 for my 68

Total 1982 Models Made : 25,407
My Production Number : 22,029

There were only 3378 C3's made after my 82, and there were only 1200 made just like it. Nothing as rare as, say, a Duntov Turbo or anything, but it's good to know there weren't a whole lot of 2-Tone Silver/Maroon 82's with Red interior and all available options. I think it's cool that I have one of the last batch of C3's ever made, in a rare color combination.

I've got REXX on my '78. It's my handle. The guys here in the Texas Correctional Facility did a great job on mine! :jester

As for the '82, how about: "1ST CE" It's clear, concise and elegant. Shoot, I like it so much, I might just buy that 82 CE in the paper just so I can have that plate! :D

If that's no good, you could go with MNY PIT. That would be true on my vette. :sad: Or: SHEROX, ITROX, FUN4ME, ME1ST, 1STTPI, TPI.

Remember, sometimes you can add standard symbols. In Texas, I think you can add the Texas silloutte as a character. Spacing works too. You can center your text.

Let us know when you get it.
