I ended up with regular plates, but there have been many variances on the success of others for this. I'm surprised they would be charging new sales taxes on a vehicle that is transferred from another state - unless this is just the regular registration taxes. If it's only a few hundred dollars it's probably just registration taxes/fees, if it's closer to $1,000 or more they're apparently thinking they are owed sales taxes on it for some reason (but it appears they are probably wrong).

MN's "collector plate" law was heavily influenced by the "hot rodder" group, and since they seem to have a dislike for the replica crowd they managed to do a good job of getting "kit cars" excluded from being eligible for them (even though quite often, technically, some of the hod rods some of them build from scratch have very little difference from being a "kit car" or could even be considered kit cars themselves).
