Do they restrict who is authorized to stamp those numbers? If not, stamp the vehicle VIN number into everything else, and "wallah" you're matching-numbers.
Wow, that's weird, in AZ I didn't have to even bring my truck in to Motor Vehicles Division, I did it on line (just has to be >25 years old). Plus, with "collector car" insurance, it's emissions exempt.
Not really, I have Farmers insurance, they say it's for going to rallies, car shows, and occasionally hauling stuff. They said, they can cancel my insurance if I drive it too much but, that's not cut in stone. I also had to declare what my truck is worth in case it's stolen or some other "comprehensive" (AKA Fire Theft and Wind) claim, I have it insured for $13K since I have more than that sunk into it ($6200 original purchase in 2002 and $10K in upgraded parts). Hell, I'm retired and don't use it much. Normally we will take another vehicle when we do something together, she doesn't like my truck much, LOL.
That's the difference between the "antique " and "classic " plates, right? The mileage restrictions? IIRC that's what it used to be, when Texas DOT came up with the program. Also in Texas the antique plates are renewed every 5 years instead of annually. Texas also has (guess they still have) a year-- of-manufacture tag program for older vehicles where you can use new--old--stock plates from the year the vehicle was originally built. I've known a few vintage plate dealers who sold many plates for that purpose. I have a pair of vintage NOS 1953s for my really old truck with that in mind.
