It's moot, though, because the car was stolen in 1968.
I'm hearing a lot of stupid talk about upcoming legislation from CA and other places that includes a "cost per mile" vehicle tax, linked through either the vehicle comms or your smart phone. Makes me think about a nicely restored/modified/custom car/truck that didn't originally come from the factory with comms, and/or use a faraday pouch for my phone (or ditch the phone altogether). That '58 Vette is looking good again... Gummit doesn't need any more money for mouse studies... or dei propaganda in Nepal.
