Another attempt is being made in NJ this year for a new replica registration category to be created in NJ. It's important that residents of NJ who currently own these cars or plan to one day own these cars take a few minutes to contact legislatures for support.

Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill Reintroduced in New Jersey
If a rewrite of the current law is not introduced soon the ability to register replicas will continue to get tougher and incredibly complicated. If you already have a car and it is registered in NJ then supporting this effort helps you as well should you plan to sell your car one day.
Hope NJ can finally get one through here.
