    The Penndot website doesn't say anything about a mileage restriction for classic plates to be emission exempt. It just says Antique and Classic vehicles are not subject to emissions testing. Scroll to the last paragraph on this page.

    I would go on ebay or google "19xx Mustang pictures". You could find stock pictures of all four sides on one of them. Hopefully one without a plate!

    which is against the once per week pleasure driving. I didn't get a ticket,
    but I also lied about being on my way to a club event.

    I love the boys in blue. It's easier to hastle some guy driving a nice car with classic plates then it is to go after some drug pusher. I guess classic car owners are safe and don't shoot back...

    Cool.... that's good to know!

    I think maybe they relaxed that stipulation since I got mine (years ago)

    The classic mileage restriction comes into play when you want to get classic or antique insurance coverage. It will save you a bundle. And if your car is a total loss, you get the agreed value coverage...not the "book value" per NADA.

    I had trouble getting Classic plate's for mine. It got rejected for the bi-wing. I was told to take it off or paint it to match the rest of the car. I told him back the car was all original and it only had 30k on it. He said back to me that it wasn't like his neighbors 86' GT. I said back that it wasn't a GT it was an SVO there was a difference. I asked him if he could open up the SVOCA page on his computer to see what an SVO is. He found it and said back to me OK I'll let it go this time. Good luck if it is the same guy that was doing that then.

    There are a couple of things people should know about getting Classic or Antique plates...

    1. The cars are supposed to be very close to stock. If your car has many performance modifications and something bad happens, where somebody is injured or killed, regardless if it's your fault or not, you could be faced with some serious charges.

    2. People who submit photos to the DMV of another persons car or photoshopped photos of their car, again if anything bad happens, your insurance claim could easily be denied.

    3. As far as using the vehicle outside of the restrictions of use, again if something happens, the investigation could result in loss of claim or coverage.

    The more people who use Classic and Antique plates outside of their intended use, the more it will ruin it for the people who use them correctly and enjoy the low/no cost registration/inspection and cheap insurance rates.

    As far as the new plates go and the ugly design, seems like everyone hates them. What a lot of people do in rebellion to the DMV is modify/personalize the plate. Here is a photo of mine...

    So you whine about the top three illegal things to do to get an antique/classic plate, then you show us your illegally modified license plate? Really?

    In case you missed the obvious...

    Modifying a license plate, by adding a sticker, or adding a Fraternal Order of Police Badge, and so on, has little or no consequences.

    Registering a Classic or Antique, that is modified, falsified photos or improper use, has great consequences.

    The registration rules state the car to be substantially original, it doesn't go into any
    detail exactly what that means, but it does leave it open to interpretation that mildly
    modified resto-mod cars probably qualify, if they appear to look original. I'm talking
    period correct street machine type modifications.

    As for collector insurance, most companies don't mind insuring resto-mod level cars
    and usually ask you to list modifications to establish agreed value. But they aren't in
    the business of insuring "pro street" collector cars.

    Looks like one of these plates is screaming for a Steeler Emblem!
