After doing a lot of research which includes talking to a DMV Rep.,I have found I can get a collector car plate. It requires pictures of the car and mods and receipts for everything done to the car. A pretty straight forward process. $75 one time registration fee plus messenger fees. Collector car includes street rods, Pro street, etc. They lumped everything into one group. Classic and Antique are still separate. Helps with the insurance also. I only drive the car about 2000 miles a year so its perfect for me.

 

sounds good to me

 

what for your cobalt? what makes it a 'collectors car'?

 

its like making it a street rod so they dont need emissions and lower insurance i dont think he means it as the 1st one built or a special 1 of 100 plus i think he only has to register once instead of every year

 

or maybe its for that 454... badass trucks

 

In Pa. if your ride is highly modified and not your daily driver you can get that plate.

 

Back when I had my GN I had looked into Collector's car insurance, basically replacing the car for current market value of the car instead of KBB.

They had all kinds of stipulations like interior/exterior/engine pictures but you also had to give the mileage and could only drive x numbers of miles per year.

 

Yep Mine only has 4600 miles on it in 27 months and will be going into storage next month. Insurance will be suspended except for Comp which saves a bundle.

 

Ha Ha My winter build is 496 Gen 6 roller engine 10 to 1 compression and aluminum oval port heads with mild roller cam. My trans rebuilt by ATI

 

Good luck with that. To qualify they require proof of "substantial" engine modifications. Usually you have to do a major engine swap at the minimum. But it's worth a shot, worst they can say is no.

 

Back in the 90's there was a big debate over collector plates, because one state (which I thought was PA) had a bunch of people with the plates and decided to change the rules, making it so that if your car had these plates you could only drive it on the weekends and during day light hours only, and once you had the plates, you couldn't change back.
I haven't heard these horror stories in years, but it was enough to keep me from putting a collector plate on my Monte to this day.

 

You still can't use it for daily transportation, I think daylight only applies to antique cars specifically.

 

The sheet I received from Penn Dot said mods can be most anything. Wheels tires, Chassis, Exhaust Etc Etc

 

Nice. If it's not a car you drive all the time, might as well go for it.

 

Sad thing there is one of these sitting down the road from me next to a shed with weeds growing up around it. Its been there for like 2 years now.
Me and a friend stopped and talked to the 70 year old man about selling it and he wasn't interested in selling it, said he was just going to let it sit there.
