Yes, but to further clarify . . . .

In order to get a title for the car (assuming you are buying a kit and not a completed car that is already titled), the car must first pass the engineering or safety inspection. Once it passes that safety inspection, and they give you your title, then you register it as a Collector Vehicle.

The rest you have correct. Collector Vehicle still gets inspected at your local DMV, but once every 2 years and they only check the odomoeter. You get 3,000 miles per year- or 6000 over the 2 year inspection period.

One other important piece of information- when you go for the inspection at your local DMV to get your Collector Vehicle sticker, you also must have proof of collector or limited use insurance which shows that your insurance company limits the car to 3000 miles a year or less. You can get collector insurance from Hagerty, Grundy or American Collectors and probably some others that I can't remember. Make some calls.

That's about it.
