Not to be a D*** but if you go by numbers posted in the few links here your 77 had more in production numbers than my 91 did. And if you go back to the beginning this is for cars that "DO NOT QUALIFY FOR ANTIQUE". So in all honesty the whole process is bogus. The law is in an extremely grey area here. I think it will be interesting to see what Tim hears from the SEMA action network. Honestly who can say a car is more "collectable" than another car? Like I said in the beginning all cars are "limited" to the amount people will buy.
If other people that own f-body's have this registration then ALL F-body owners should be allowed to get this. It really should not matter what type of car it is but limited to the yearly mileage. It is my opinion this was instituted in the first place, so high pollution vehicles can still be used but cut down on the amount.
Maybe we can get something done about this, just like the whole issue with the subjective inspections at stations
