Some discussion on other Alfabb thread regarding Oregon SP plates.
http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/showthread.php?t=49021
I successfully registered a 1989 Spider and 1982 Gtv-6 through the Oregon DMV special purpose plate process.
As my Alfas are used for play, it was a natural to register them once and never pay for title and tags again.
DMV states a restriction on mileage not to exceed 2,500 annually and vehicle is to be used for "special events." The program fit my needs.
DEQ certification is NOT required with SP plates. In my case, I grew tired of putting the Spider on the "DMV drum" and not passing unless the catalytic converter was replaced. It was an expensive habit every two years. DEQ testing has changed since I changed over to SP designation and I heard rumor that there were many damaged driveline claims filed by motorist with DEQ/DMV. (Me included in filing a claim & receiving settlement) The DEQ testing program has now reverted back to using the sniffing wand. (The drums RIP under 3 ft of concrete – no tears shed by me)
Attached is the form to fill out. In my case I had the sponsoring sanctioning body (Something of a hotrod or Automobile Association) at 42650 Hwy 26 Sandy 97055 (503)668.8213. verify the VIN and sign. (Box C) I also presented a copy of an e-mail from Elvira Rocca at AR as findings of fact on limited production status. (CYA for him)
This is a great program through Oregon DMV and it was their intent to preserve and facilitate ownership of unique marquees. I encourage other Oregon Alfisti to use the SP program especially since Alfa sightings are rare but should be preserved.
Cheers,
Jay
