Going to try to register as a classic....

[Mustang5L5]

In mass there are too many rules tied to am antique plate. you can only drive on Sunday or to and from a car show or parade. with a normal plate i no longer need emissions so when my car is eligible in two years for am antique plate i would lose more by getting one

Awesome! Glad it happened. Can you only drive it on weekends? Or a few times a week? Or is it a total mileage limit for the year? I want to do it with mine. I might put 4k on in a good year if the weather is nice. -25% for the 4.10's. Are shots of the engine bay required?

No engine bay shots just one of each side and 5k miles a year.

You can insure them as a classic car...unlike the registration. I just insured my 85 vert through Grundy's for $100 a year...no special requirements other than wanting to know what type of garage it will be kept in. My father has his vette insured with American Collector for about the same coin. I may check into the classic registration here in Texas.

 

[madspeed]

WOW, never would've guessed that!! I'm looking into for sure!!

 

[tims 86]

will pa give you a classic plate with tinted windows and newer style mustang wheels?

 

[madspeed]

doubt it with the windows, but wish I knew too!

I checked with Grundy, and they wont insure anything newer than 1980 unless its worth over $12000. WTH, guess I should've told em 12k instead of 5k

 

[90limited]

Grundy will insure a fox or newer if you can prove that it has a book value of 10k or more... they are insuring my 90 vert, but i also have other cars on the policy...

 

[madspeed]

Well mine aint worth 10 grand as is

 

[aar0s]

Im thinking of registering mine as a classic but i think Il. it has to be 25 years old, mines not quite there yet.

 

[madspeed]

only 15 years in PA!!

What?!!!!
ehh, Illinois be broke and they are going to spend a ton retrying Rod B so they need all my money they can take. no worries, i dont have to smog test my car where i live and i can wait another 2 or 3 years to switch it over. Who knows, by that time i might have it painted!

 

[1987LXragtop]

wow just back from vacation and saw this old one ..heheh - white primer paint job and photo chop on the rips in the top.
Got insured thru state farm but have my other 2 cars thru the same agent so i was able to tack on this one under classic insurance for way cheap.

Tinted windows and new wheels no.
