"General inspections are not required for historic or collector vehicles. To be classified as a "historic vehicle" it must be:
At least 25 years old
Specially registered and display QQ plates (1945 and earlier models are required to display one plate on the rear of the vehicle. 1946 and newer models will be issued two plates and both plates must be displayed, one on the front and one on the back of the vehicle).

You can purchase historic plates for $44. To be considered a historic vehicle, the vehicle has to be at least 25 years old and only used for exhibition and educational purposes by the owner." NJ DMV website


You may be thinking of 'Collector' plates which have a 3,000 mile annual limit. And what could be more educational than driving around on a nice sunny day! I know a lot of 'QQ' plates that go to work every day.

OK, so my first computer was an Apple with a serial number of 773. And, yeah, the lift is cool but not a place to park a long-term project. The RX-7 will remain on jack stands for the forseeable future. I'm at the point of recognizing that, in order to remove the carpeting without cutting, the dashboard has to come out (suggestions anyone?). Dog bless digital cameras.
