Another Historic Vehicle...

[DaktariEd]

Last year my trusty FJ40, "Rocinante," passed the 200,000 mile mark. :jumping:
Saturday, she obtained her "Historic Vehicle" status...

:sombrero:

Don't ask me why it says "Arizona 77." She's an '82.

 

[shawkins]

So any car that has over 200,000 miles can get that?

 

[DaktariEd]

No, actually it's based on age.
In AZ, it's 25+ years....

congrats, but do you have to pay to have that plate?

Very cool Ed! Awesome vehicle! I'd offer to trade you that for my 110, but I know you'd turn me down!



cheers

I don't know why they say Arizona 77 either... but all of them do. I'm waiting to do that for my 8. A couple more years to go! My 8 is an '84.

AZ's historic plate looks so much better than ours. Im jealous!

Do you have the same driving restrictions as us in California? I know we can only drive in 'parades' and to and from shows/events that sort of thing. So when we get pulled over in the desert, we say.. on the way to a show lol

No...there is another class for that. Not sure if it is just an insurance class or actual registration class. So, I'm good to go wherever...

I got the plate idea from Jonathan. He got his Historic Vehicle plates years ago. I've been envious ever since.

Now I'm in the "Club" too!

We have two plates here in Colorado, which I think will be the same in AZ. There's a regular collector's plate and a horseless carriage plate. The collector's plate is for any vehicle over 25 years, no limits on miles. You get an emissions test when you get the plates and pay a 5 year fee and as long as you keep the registration current every 5 years you never have to bother with emissions tests again. There is no cost savings over regular yearly renewals. The other one is for cars built in 1942 or before. This is limited to parade duty, to and from the shop, etc. This is really cheap to register (something like $10 every 5 years), but you have those usage limitations.

"Historic and Capable" a great mix. :iagree:
