1.) I need to submit a notirized letter saying I am bringing in a car from out of state without a title listing vin, make model, etc

2.) Bring my old registration info from previous years

3.) Proof of Insurance

4.) NJ Drivers License

NOW... The choices are the following

1.) Go with normal plates and mess with the inspection process

2.) Go the historic route, submit pictures and hope they don't freak out about the side pipes and no windshield wipers but still hope to pass emissions....

Which route should I take in your opinion?

Kahn,

In NJ you can't register a replica car for historic plates. If it is a replica, it must go the standard plate route. Many of us in NJ are waiting for our politicians to get off their butts and vote on a bill allowing replicas to be in the Hot Rod classification and hence Hot Rod plates. This would then ease the registration process especially for newly built replicas which are currently a nightmare to register, but that’s another story......

As to inspection of that vehicle, one of your local repair shops that are a NJDMV authorized inspection centers is the way to go..Especially one that is into old cars.

Good Luck !!!
