Pete, Randy and anyone else that has gone through this successfully, please email me at kcs1944@gmail.com or call me at 702/304-1508. I've been to the Flamingo and Decatur DMV offices a total of 8 times already, and still need at least 3 more trips according to them (one to someone to certify what year my motor is, one to Sahara emissions lab to verify it meets smog or is exempt, and one more to DMV to get title and registration). Particularly, did you guys have pre-1968 motors and did you get an "EXEMPT" rating? They are saying that if the motor is not pre-1968 it has to meet smog requirements. Is there a number in Carson City that can explain this to either me or them?
Thanks in advance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I just did mine last week at the North LV DMV on N. Decatur & Deer Springs. Here is what I went through but DID get it done. If the Replica form I attached does not show, look at my thread " Got Plate?" You'll be able to pull it up! Good Luck!

I finally got my plates. Let me give you a quick go over on what I had to do. Went to the vehicle inspection station at DMV for a VIN check. The guy knew about the law & printed the replica form which I am gonna attach. I had to go to an independent auto shop for a Mickey mouse inspection.....lights, signals, E brake, horn, wipers, that sort of thing. $50 & I was golden. Back to DMV & the inspection station. The guy signed all the papers & said he had to list my vehicle as a 2006, because that was the date on the title of when the title was issued, which makes absolutely no sense! But, he said it would not matter because of the Replica law, emissions would still be exempt, so I said OK. Went into DMV & got some girl who nothing. All said and done, after she spoke with her supervisor, she tells me I may need to get the car smogged because the car is listed as a 2006 model! I told her that the whole reason behind the replica law is to be emissions exempt!! DUH!!
Anyway got my plates!! She told me that they may send a letter or call about the smog. If they get in touch with me, I will have to speak to the right person. I am not worried about it! Car is listed on the reggi as a 2006 ASVE.....assembled vehicle!

Kinda stupid how uninformed these people are!

The 100 car thing is per year! I guess from Jan to Dec. The girl at the counter did not know.

There it is a little small though. You may be able to open it, save it, & hopefully SEE it!!

This is my whole process as I remember it. I picked up the car in Phoenix 2/2/07 and drove it home to Henderson. Ran out of gas just outside Wickenburg, (1/8th of a tank of gas will not go 15 more miles). Called a wrecker to bring a gallon of gas. Cost $50.00, hearing the motor fire up again priceless. Drove home, cold weather and frequent fuel stops, but without incident. Next week drove to DMV in Henderson. Went inside waited in line and was told to go back out and have the car inspected by the DMV people. Got in that line. The guys were pleasant but not too helpful. The assigned a VIN and we affixed the number to the frame. Went inside and got in line again. When my number was called I spent about 10 minutes with the lady when she "discovered" that my car had not been inspected. She gave me the form and directed me to a garage where they could inspect the car. I drove to the garage and left it while I went for a late breakfast. I came back to pick up my car the said "no charge" that they just enjoyed looking at the car and the owner enjoyed driving to the back of the shop at low speed. Completed form in hand, back to DMV. Waited in line again. Got to my number and again talking to a different person. Spoke for about 10 minutes or so and she went to talk to supervisor. She was gone at least 15 minutes. She came back and said that the license for the inspector had expired and I had to had it re-inspected. I left but not without some whining. She gave me a go to the head of the line pass to get me out the door. I drove around until I found a shop willing to do the inspection. $40.00 later I was back at DMV with my head of line pass. That pass puts you into a different line but it was a little shorter I think. Spoke to a different person again. Another 25 minutes later and a discussion with the supervisor I walked out with registration as a 2007 assembled vehicle. They explained to me that new cars were exempt from emissions for 2 years and after that I had to pass emissions. I figured that I would renew 1 year and then "move" to Arizona for a while and register there as a 1966 and "move" back to Nevada the next year. I then heard about the new rules, Yeah!! Early January so I can be one of the first 100 I start the process over again that I wrote about earlier. Long story, sorry, but hopefully the moral is, "keep at it and it will all work out". I'll have to see if my registration renewal next year has me as exempt. The DMV told me that I would get a new registration card in about 6-8 weeks. I haven't seen it yet.
Good luck
Randy

I really feel for everyone that has to go threw the DMV. I had to change my SS# several years ago and they didn't even have a form for that.I had to go back thirteen times and have a folder 1 inch thick of paper work. I'm glad I didn't have to Reg. my car like that.(Thank god for judges and lawers) It would have started to bum me out. But I can say once its done it will be worth the effort that it took. Good Luck.

Well I spoke too soon!! Got a letter today from the DMV, seems I have a problem cause the guy at the inspection station put my car down as an '06 & on the title it is listed as a '65! Due to the discrepency, I am supposed to try to get ahold of the seller & have something signed by him & myself & notorized....aint gonna happen. They give me another outlet if I cannot get ahold of the seller. I will be heading back to the guy at the DMV inspection station in a few minutes! I'll let you guys know.........
