Collectible Car registration

[PaxtonShelby]

Classic plates - car has to be 15 years old - yes it must be inspected - no you do not need emissions testing.

Antique plates - car has to be 25 years old and must be in a condition as delivered originally ( original style rims, interior, paint scheme, etc. ) Car cannot be "modified" from a configuration which was available at the time of original purchase. Inspection not required. Emissions not required.

There are mileage and useage restrictions for the INSURANCE and the PLATES. You don't want to get caught driving 20k miles a year with an antique plate. And you don't want to drive your classic plate toy in a February snowstorm or you might get busted.

Keep in mind that the photos for the classic / antique INSURANCE used to be different than the photos required to obtain a classic / antique LICENSE PLATE.
I can't remember which is which...but I think the INSURANCE photos had to be one full shot of each side, one from the front, and one from the rear, and the LICENSE PLATE photos had to be interior, engine compartment, front corner view, and opposite rear corner view. Pretty sure windows had to be up for the exterior photos. I might have these combos mixed up a bit. I hadn't heard about them eliminating the need for the photos for the PLATES, but who knows - rules change all the time.

Thanks guys. I picked up the car Tuesday night. I had to get temporary insurance through state farm for 600 a year. Ill check out a couple other places to see if I can do better with similar insurance. A few of the places I looked had no track usage clauses, which is a no go. I decided to stay away from the collectible car registration for now. It may be irreversible on the title, which I don't want. I just could not find anyone who knew for sure.

If the weather holds out Sunday, I hope to get some pics up. I actually bought it from here off of fxman. He had some pics in the for sale thread he made.

I don't think you'll find any classic / antique insurance that will cover you on the street and at the track.

Some vintage racing events deal with insurance providers where you can purchase coverage for while you are at the track, but I haven't heard of a policy that covers you at the track AND on the street.

Ok - it has been a long week and I just realized you're talking about a Terminator - I was thinking about cars that are 15+ years old - sorry about that.
