I have a 1969 NASCAR Cobra that has had Historical Plates on it for many years and nothing was changed to get them. My Coupe is under the SB-100, but they are trying to get rid of that in several ways. I have a 3,000 mile per year limit on my Historical Plates, but I never get close to that as I have to run Racing Gas in the car and also it still has the original Polyglass tires on it from 1969 and I don't like to drive on them a lot.

Now, you have to have receipts stating you spent $5000 or more modifying the car to get Collectors plates. If the car is more than 25 years old, you can get Historical Vehicle plates that are good for 35 years and cost about $35. Then you are exempt from everything but insurance, although you are only suppose to drive the car 1000 miles to less and it cannot be a daily driver. You can even take 1965 license plates and use those as the Historical Plates.
