Haven’t run into any problems yet, and I’ve seen quite a few other historical cars out in the last month. It’s been such a kind winter so far.
What good cops are you speaking of? ;)
I kid.

I’ve always likes the non-clear fender protector.

But..... Not good idea. Bicycle better idea.

Darn. Guess you'll have to rough it. This was one of my favorite cars as a kid, much more so than ferraris or lambos.

The clear ones actually aren't clear. They're color matched to the car. So the original ones were actually red, and the ones I have on th car currently are new black versions.

It's been doing great so far. The roads are clear, and it loves the cold air!

ah good I just know of a few people who have gotten some extra "love" from the cops because they have historic plates on their car

Why would historic plates draw more or less heat from the cops?
![]() 01/26/2016 at 12:58 |

Well, at least by Michigan law Historic plates are for cars that are only going to be driven to and from an event. They are not to bused for normal every day driving.
Doesn’t stop me from taking the Montego on a Home Depot run though, I can promise you that.
Honestly the cops normally don’t care about that restriction at all.

(I also have never found a cop in Michigan concerned about my Historic plate)

Same as MontegoMan said. But the people i know have them on loud engine swapped japaneese cars from the 80's and early 90's

What’s the benefit of having historic plates then? Lower registration and insurance costs? If that’s the case, I’ve got to look into it for my ‘92 miata next year (New York State). I only drive it to and from autox/track/garage anyway.

Mine may be American Iron under the hood....but have you heard mine? lol without even having headers it’s insanely loud
![]() 01/27/2016 at 00:21 |

Yes because its driven way less so insurance is cheaper and usually certain places will give discounts. (Haggerty I think is one). And plate is good for life of car as you own it. I don’t think you have to renew every year. (This is for Michigan)

haha but yours isn’t a widebody 240sx with straight pipes off an ls2 and no rear bumper cause track car
![]() 01/27/2016 at 07:37 |

That would make sense for a track/autox car since insurance wont cover track damage anyway.... I would just pull all the registration and insurance from my car, but I don’t have a trailer or a tow vehicle. Historic plates would make sense if I can get super cheap insurance on it.
Does anyone know how it works in NY?

DON’T GET HAGGERTY INSURANCE
Shit is expensive.
Quote from them vs my normal insurance (state farm) when I was getting the Montego insured. Haggerty= 360 for 6 months State Farm was 125 for 6 months.
Haggerty is collector car insurance and they’ll insure some stuff that maybe some people won’t but always try elsewhere first.
