Friggin' state has pushed us to desperate measures.
We ordered personalized "BULLITT" license plates on March 9, before we even ordered the car on March 14.
We received notice about three weeks later the plates were in the DMV office. But no car yet to put them on.
Told the dealer ahead of time we wanted to get the Bullitt plates immediately. The dealer is in another county. The dealer's county DMV said we had to get plates from their county then transfer them later for the Bullitt plates in my county.
We hand carried all the paperwork from dealer to both DMV's only to find out the DMV in dealers county is not on the same computer system as our county. In order to transfer plates from one county system to another it has to go through snail mail and be hand entered into the new system.
We have been advised that could take up to three MORE months.
We have seen and even held the BULLITT plates, but Salt Lake county DMV won't give them to us until they get the paperwork from Morgan county where the car was bought.
What a bunch of hooooey!!!
We have a BIG car show to go to in two week, WE INTEND TO HAVE OUR BULLITT PLATES!
So our solution:
Today, this is the Bullitt:
It is actually our recently purchased 65 K-code coupe.
We will have the Bullitt plates in our possession today and they will go on the true Bullitt for the show. When the county gets it act together they will be lawfully transferred.
There's more than one way to skin a cat, or shoot a Bullitt or , whatever....
