67-72 license plate Kentucky, what are they worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Great score today!!

Installed a new electrical service on an old garage for the new owners and found these plates in the garage. The no said that the guy liked old cars, but I say TRUCKS

anyway, he had no use for them

and was trying to clean the place up a little and told me I could have them. I have all 67-72 years in at least pairs some years have three of them. I haven't a clue what they are worth, but will be keeping the 69 plates for me for sure

The pics aren't that good and I haven't even cleaned them yet, but a little feedback would be greatly appreciated

Dude, take it from a streetrodder, those '27 plates are worth a little, maybe even a couple hundred bucks, in Virginia they go for up to $300. The other plates are anywhere from $35 to $80 per pair depending on the condition and what someone's willing to pay.

Oh, here's my garage.

So would it be advisible to try and restore the 27 plates to look new or sell as is? I was hopeing Huck would see this thread and chime in, as I belive he lives in SHeelby Co. Ky. and I have 1 1970 Shelby Co. plate. Randy

1932,1933,1934, 1940, 1955-6-7

Are probably the the most valuable. In restored condition they bring anywhere from $125 - $300 for 1 depending on the state, and condition and how bad the person wants it.

I usually by the "beat up" dented ones for 1933 for my HotRod Pickup for $5-10 ea.

Those you got there are pretty nice so i would agree with Randy on the $35-80 range.

the '27 maybe a little higher

Sell as is. There are professionals out there that restore these plates, do not attempt yourself, unless you know what your doing, or the plates will become worthless.

Bisquick, I suggest keeping those plates out of the sun. Eventually you will only have a wall of old metal.
