I see what you are saying BUT I dont think the DMV gives two ****s about the fact your car is a "Z" or not. To them it is a Camaro and that is it but those would be good arguments if they were to factor the options in, and by that I would have a fairly "rare" car too. I think EVERYONE would explain how their car is rare....

The proofs are required to show that driver's reason for owning the car is legitimately for its collectable value and not as its daily driver. The car club letter lends some legitimacy to the driver's claim that the car actually HAS collectable value because collectable value is show by the fact that people collect them. We collect them - they're collectable.

I think this is an excellent point and thus is all we should really have to justify to the DMV, they should have no right to define what is or is not collectable! Have you seen all the crap people sell on eBay?
