What state is that?
fulton county exist in ohio, new york and georgia. the dealership is in jacksonville florida so it is likely the car is from georgia. i tried to google the plates, but alas that would have been far too easy.

Looking at the center of the plate, it doesn't look like a GA plate. Don't know what it looks like. I see mostly IN, IL, and TX plates here (wonder why all those TX drivers are headed to Chicago???  )
Anyway, I ran the 28 thru GA and it comes back "not on file". Any other ideas what state it is?
EDIT: Doh, I didnt' wait for your pic at the top to load before I made my post. Don't I look stupid now. That must be a new plate design for GA I haven't seen yet.
It's not on file, which is not unusual, we have plenty of those here in IL. Just lazy people at the SOS office and the info never gets entered into the system.
It could also be a retired plate, meaning they took the registration off the car or put plates on from another state. The e-bay auction lists the dealer in FL, so likely the plates were retired by the owner rather than transferred to a new vehicle.

If the car is up for sale, could the registration be cancelled?
To me it does look like the NEW GA plate, a peach with the shape of the state of GA in the center.
Check out the pix I put up there and you should be able to see how they look alike.

looking with young eyes will reveal that the plates are in fact georgia plates because it says georgia right across the top. funny i didn't notice that the first time i looked. the dealership that has the car is in florida so i wonder if the regestration has been moved. try running the vin through that state and see what happens

Ok, ran by VIN. It comes back to a Gene Harris Felton (look at the stock number on the e-bay listing) on a 2001 Lincoln sedan, Fulton Co, Georgia.
I'm not a real big NASCAR fan, but I don't recognize that name?????

google says that he raced in the nascar american series begining in 69 and into the early 70's winning daytona in 72. no wonder i have never heard of him. i wasn't even born yet. most of his racing career was outside of nascar. gene felton
