yea it costs the same regardless of whether car was made in 1910 or 2010  , but you can get a restricted "club" rego but it severely  restricts how much driving you can do .there is no support for the car hobby over here, from federal/state governments  .if they had there way everybody would be driving 2020 gomer mobiles

The one horn (can't remember if it was the hi or lo note) quit on me and I ended up drilling out the rivets and rebuilding it myself.  When I had it apart, I noticed the contacts were rusty inside and with a little sand paper, they cleaned right up and worked fine again.  Someone (and I can't remember where I got this from) mentioned about tapping out the rivet hole with a pan head machine screw and then cutting off the excess threads and then grinding down the head of the machine screw which will then resemble a rivet once the head is smooth.

Man, You people have it rough over there. In Texas, I can register it as an antique (at least 25 years old) which will give it some driving restrictions but, I have never heard of someone being ticketed for it and it costs $62.50 for 5 years and you have no inspection requirements! I just registered mine for the first time in 32 years. It had not been registered in so long, the State had to re-enter all the information into their system and I had to wait until it was there (about 2 days) before I could re-register it and get my plate!

Ready to roll now!

Might be an issue for an insurance claim... :Twocents:

Doubt I will have an issue as I will only drive my Charger on "no rain expected" days and you can drive them with these tags going to and from a show as well as "testing and tuning" your car! In other words, no daily driver but, my Charger is far from a daily driver . Besides, I do not drive to work anyway! I am retired and lovin' it!

My insurance (Hagerty's) hasn't been a problem before and really doubt it will be in the future.

How can a working or non working horn keep you from getting a insurance claim. ?
BTW.. American collectors insurance is better.  No Hag. lol

That is not what I was saying. It was about getting antique vehicle plates and just driving your car whenever you want. Here is Illinois with Antique plates you are only to drive it to car shows or to get worked on. So Lets say you have your car outside a restaurant and someone hits it and takes off. Your insurance company can deny your claim as you were not to be driving it when it was "legal" to drive it. I can tell all of you this is real....I want to drive my car whenever I want so I paid the extra money to register year round and insure it the same...

My Charger will not ever be outside a restaurant while I eat! When it is not in my garage, it will never leave my sight and I do plan to do a little "testing and tuning" around town! Car shows,  maybe a few but not many. Just not my thing.

If it is good enough for the state of Texas, it ought to be good enough for my insurance company! By the way, I hope I never have a claim and can just complain about paying the premium!

I agree, mine has not left mine either.. now when I go to car shows I don't get to see them now.. I just wanted to point out a liability claim denial do to the car being somewhere it was supposed to be do to the limitations of how you have your car registered. That is all. I did not want any grey areas when I plated mine.
:scratchchin:

I understand, Plainfield.  In my case, it will not be driven so much that "Antique" plates down here will not cover my driving. If it ain't going to a show, it is going for a "test and tune" drive!  :-)
