QQ Plates
Got QQ plates for the LeSabre today. Had to get a copy of the title because I couldn't find it. Folks at Flemington DMV were extremely pleasant and helpful.
No more inspections - yay. 3000 mile per year limit. LOL....be lucky if it gets three HUNDRED! Time to scrape off that ugly inspection sticker and drive over to Paul (RPM -a scant 3 minutes away) to see where to start breathing new life into it. BTW....what is needed: 1 - Title 2 - Front and side photos 3 - Application (got at site) 4 - License 5 - Registration Cost me about $110 for copy of title and plates. (Also added BOAT to license for 12 bux). Now if only I could get a garage so I can put classic insurance on it. |
Cool!
Is the Lesabre a 307 car? |
Should rock that to the next meet instead of the DD! :mrgreen:

5.0
not sure if 307 or 305 4bbl. 700r4 tranny (built to gn specs) im sure im nuts to do anything to the car (299+k miles), but it has sentimental value. |

where the heck have YOU been hiding? |
This is the QQ thread so I'm gonna ask here. My brother said from what hes found on the QQs you can run the rear plate only. If this is true I may have my front bumper holes for the bracket filled. The plate looks out of place on the front. So is it true that cars under historic registration can run only the rear plate?

You could print this: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/9899/Bi...500/463_i1.pdf And keep it in your glove box but you might seem like a dick to the cop who pulled you over. I think this law was originally for cars with no provision up front, like a Model T etc. |
Ok guys, technically, my car doesn't have provisions for the front plate. They had to make up some hacky looking front bracket to be able to run them on the front bumper. It looks much cleaner without it. I guess this is where the cop's mood will make a difference. I just don't want to go through the trouble of filling in the holes if its 100% illegal. But it seems even the state code and laws are conflicting on the issue.

Keep the front plate in the trunk and roll the dice. How much is a no front plate fine anyway?
|
Just get the hideaway plate that everyone else uses.

I put it all in a thread already, but the long and short was the lady said the front sheet metal I had on the car was not correct for my year car. I really wanted to jump over the counter and punch the lady in the face. My cousin said he doesnt like that woman either when he has had to deal with her. Again, just so you know you can drive your car as many miles as you want within the provisions of the law with historic plates 8-) |
Before they opened their new facility, the reps at Flemington told me to go to Trenton on a Saturday morning to get my QQ plates.
Trenton historic is closed on a Saturday. |
I'll have to see what I want to do when I get there. If I get this thing going again, test runs will probably be done with the front plate in the windshield.
As for the DMV and getting the plates. I went in 09 down to Trenton I believe during the week, and I was in and out of the place in 10 minutes no questions asked. Now however I'll have to put the car back on insurance for 30 days or so for plate renewal. And I also stand by no mileage limits with the historic plates. Its the Collectors plates which is used on cars newer than 25 that have a 3000 mile limit. An example I can think of off the bat that would use Collectors plates would be a McLaren F1. Never officially imported here but was allowed through the Show and Go laws (or whatever the laws are called) Under the law a car imported under those laws is limited to 2500 miles a year. Once they turn 25 though all the rules go out the window. Mileage limits with Historic plates are mostly due to collectors insurance limitations. Though some companies couldn't care less how much you drive it as long as you have a true daily driver. |

If your insurance imposes a mileage restriction on your collector car that is up to them, but it has no tie to the historic registration. IMO if your insurance company restricts you like that he/she should look for another insurer. |
