New Registration Law

[Randy M.]

I just finished registering my car under the new Nevada law. The law allows 100 replica vehicles per year to be emission exempt. There are certain rules such as pre-1968 body style, not a daily driver, etc. I started out at the Henderson DMV office. They referred me to the E. Sahara main office. According to the Sahara office, the Henderson office could have done the paperwork. I went to the Sahara office as instructed, (I always do as I am told), and they were really helpful. Roger from the emission station person ally walked me into the main building and arranged for Leland to do the paperwork. Roger obtained pre-printed step-by-step instructions from their DMV computer. Leland followed the instructions, Roger walked out into the parking lot to verify the mileage, and all fees were paid. All done in less than 1 hour. I got the replica exemption and registration renewal all in one easy stop. I also got to drive the car again today. What a great day it has been so far. Finally, the reason for the post today. My car was #29 out of an available 100. There are 71 still available. Everybody should consider this registration option if it meets your requirements. The available positions will not last the whole year. Good luck. Randy

Randy, thanks for the update, I'll be looking into this very shortly.

Randy,
Do you get to keep your existing personalized plate or is there a special plate for this? Last year I went to renew my registration and look into this. They told me (at the Sahara Office) that there is a special plate and I would not be able to keep my current personalized plate.

Is this what they told you??


Ken,
Are you back in Las Vegas yet?

Scott, I'm here, not sure if I can make the 2/2 meeting, going to try.

This is interesting. I thought the SB100 thing would apply to only new, previously unregistered vehicles. My car was previously registered in AZ and I went to the Henderson DMV and they gave me a Nevada registration that matched my AZ one. No questions ask. My car was registered as a 1965 Ford Cobra in AZ so it was smog exempt already. Maybe that what got me thru.

Hey Guys,

For anyone interested in the new law, you can do a "Google" search for Nevada Assembly Bill 321. I think the form at the DMV is RD237 but is definently called the "Replica Vehicle Application". Once filled out, you just go to the window and if you get any static ask for a Supervisor. Not sure how many certificates were given out last year but I'm going Saturday.

Randy,

Did they give you anything or just tell you that you were number 29 in line? I went and did it last year in December. They told me I was number 27 in line. I have not received any thing from Carson City confirming this yet.

I got to keep my personalized plates. They gave me a copy of the application form, renewed my registration and a 2009 sticker for the plate, and a phone number if I have not received an updated registration card in about a month. Randy

Randy, Would you mind giving me that phone number? I did not get a sticker or anything like that. You can PM me if you prefer. Thanks so much.

486-4918 is the number for the support desk at the Sahara DMV. The sticker I got was the registration renewal sticker for the license plate. Randy

I was at DMV to register my car last Tue. The guy at the information area said all looked good & just gave me a #. When my # came up, the guy at the desk said I need a Vin inspection, but nothing of the new law. I have not gone back yet. I am gonna print that form & take it with me. I went to the DMV in N. Las Vegas.

I checked the DMV for the RD-237 but no luck. I also did a search for a " Replica vehicle application " on the DMV form search, & got nothing as well. It still shows replica vehicles as exempt under their exemption list. I guess I will find out more when I go back. I am out of town as of now. It will probably be 2 weeks before I get back there. I will let you know how it goes.

Sounds just like our recent Hawaii law, which allows 100 vehicles a year. Being a 'small kine' place it might as well be a 1,000 a year. We have only a handful of cars that utilize it, mostly the Cobras and some Dune Buggies.

I replied in an earlier thread about the Gov passing the law:

I was #23 out of the 100 available replica registrations available.

The form is real . . . I have two in my possesion.

The DMV doesn't really know to much about this new law, but guy I talked to in the Sahara office was very helpful looking it up on their internal network.

It took him about 20 minutes to find it but did come up with it and said: "Fill this out and then go to vehicle inspection to get signed off". I'm going back next Saturday cuz the inspection station was closed at 1:00pm.

HTH

Well Guys,

I'm 30 . . . at the DMV that is.

Went today (2-9-08) and it only took about an hour total from the time the inspector "didn't" look at my Cobra to placing the new tags for my personalized plate.

The inspector asked me what engine I had and I said "65 289". He said "OK" and signed the Exempt slip. I went inside and got my ticket (number 318) and the display was at 298. Twenty minutes later I was starting the Cobra to head for home with a new 09 tag and number 30 stamped on my Replica Vehicle application. Whoo Hoo!!!

I did find out something I was previously not understanding . . . the 100 applications are NOT every year. When the state gets to 100, no one else will be able to get an exemption until someone gives their's up. You'll be placed on a waiting list . . .
