bowtieguy 334 #2 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Don't forget to put historical plates on it...one time plate (28.75) and no annual MO inspections!! In MO, you are supposed to be going to or from an "event" or to or from a "repair station"....I'm always going to or from a repair station!!!.( remember F.O.R.D)....insurance is 52 bucks a year....on a 38 Ford 2 door humpback sedan street rod Edited January 5, 2016 by bowtieguy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your mileage restrictions are placed on you by the insurance company if you go for classic/specialty car insurance. At least that's how it is with my Corvette. If I had bought regular car insurance I would have no restrictions. Mike.......... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lady at DMV told me that I can't even load up a bag of mulch from Home Depot with classic plates on it....for show only. I said "sure". I've been to the dump several times with it, and use it like normal. I am assuming the police have better things to do. Just keep it in mind though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 52,029 #7 Posted January 4, 2016 No mileage restrictions on the North Carolina tag for my Street Rod and the only thing the insurance company requires is that I have another vehicle for regular driving. Don't know how they would determine whether or not I use it for a daily driver, I'm retired and don't go anyplace some days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,078 #8 Posted January 4, 2016 In Virginia you can get various classic plates . Depends on how many miles you drive per year and also allows that you do not need state inspections( that is stupid) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
