Historic? Collector? WTF?

So, my '98 is 26 years old.

Is there any benefit to going Historic? Collector?

I know the inspection thing goes away. Any pitfalls to it?

technically Q plates limit use. No inspection. No more renewal fees. You have to go to a MVC office to submit application.

"To be considered a historic vehicle, the vehicle must be at least 25 years old and only used for exhibition and educational purposes by the owner. Historic plates can be purchased for $44."
https://www.nj.gov/mvc/vehicles/historic.htm


You probably would not get collectors, from what others have said lots of hoops to jump through on that. Plus i think when its QQ eligible that option goes away.

If you qualify for historic by age, you can't apply for collectors. Just went through this with my 97. I had collectors but couldn't renew given age and decided to just go private inspection with a plug in that went fine. In a couple years I'll see if QQ is the move.

Always wondered this. I have had regular inspection and just Hagerty insurance.
benefit of collectors or QQ? Slightly cheaper registration it seems with just more restrictions?

"To be considered a historic vehicle, the vehicle must be at least 25 years old and only used for exhibition and educational purposes by the owner."

See, this is just vague enough that I don't get what they mean. If I go for a ride to the supermarket to pick up dinner, isn't that a form of exhibition? Or educational in letting people see the car?

I feel that it's confusing enough to make folks avoid it.

I drove my El Camino everywhere and used it as a daily for a bit on QQ tags, never had an issue. Got pulled over for failure to signal and cop didn't even mention the tag.

Yes, but value is low. Like $5k. I think it's because it's an add on for policy of other cars but all in, it's only a couple hundred a year for all 3 of them. Total agreed value is close to $100k.

Oh, maybe. I think I pay $300 or so for the Z at agreed upon value of like 18k.

None besides needing a separate DD and being garage kept with Hagerty. No mileage limits or restrictions on driving.

Well, I don't think I'm covered on a racetrack but since I don't race it never concerned me.
