Bill S.

You are correct about the collector car registration. Engine date has nothing to do with getting CC status. My engine certification by DMV was only done that in the event that I decide to drop the collector car status, I can use 1967 emission test levels. This was critical for me since the car has a set of 48 IDA Webers.

You are also correct, they are very strict in the milage usage of a collector car which I believe is limited to 3,000 miles per year. no exceptions there.

What I failed to mention in my previous posting, upon my intial inspection least week in NJ, I was inspected for a correct operating odometer and I WAS tested for emissions, which I am happy to say passed with flying colors. I was told that while the emission test was not required by the State of NJ, Parsons randomly test cars with collector status for statistical reporting purposes. They said this was done specifically to me (and other cars) since the car had a 1967 engine with a set of Webers which was not standard on that engine. Maybe the inspector was just having a bad day.

Bill I understand you have gone thru this with DMV more than most of us. I just wish I was on a first name basis with the girl's at DMV so I could bet the QQ plates.
