if i get classic tags do i have to worry about emissions test on a car without catalitic converters? also, i heard if you don't drive the car over 5,000 miles per year you do not need emissions test is that true. does anyone have any info on this?

 

i have never heard about classic tags on a late model car. it seems like the more you drive the car a year the more the gov would want to test you. although gov emmissions test depend on where you are. i have never heard of either of those two situations you talked about

 

Hey brody how fast does your car run?

 

well i beleive late models can get classic plates. it 15 years old for classic i think. does anyone else know about the 5,000 mile limit for emissions? could this be just a pa thing?

 

In Colorado, a 25 year-old car can have 5-year "collector plates", and you don't have to redo emissions as long as you don't let the registration expire.

I've also heard of some kind of "antique" plates, that restrict use to going to & from shows & parades, that sort of thing. More often, though, mileage limits involve insurance.

Laws vary from state to state, so you should really contact your motor vehicle department to get the scoop for your state.

 

Don't bother with classic plates, the gov. regulates how much mileage can be on the car. In PA you are exempt from emissions testing if you drive under 5000 miles/yr. You're also exempt if you live in any county OTHER than Allegheny or Philadelphia. Thirdly, you're exempt if you say "fudge it" and just find someone who will pass you, which isin't too hard because the government really just wants the $$ and doesn't give a flying F*** about pollution.

 

cool i'm glad the 5,000 mile thing is correct. thanks everyone for the info.
