The definitive QQ/Collector's Registration thread
I am going for my QQ registration for the Nova and when I searched on here there was a lot of conflicting information.
Here is what it says on the DMV's web site. Quote:

However there is no information on getting QQ tags. For those of you that have done it, please fill me in. I need the information myself and then I'm going to clean up this thread and make it a sticky in the resto section. Firsthand knowledge only please! Don't say you know a guy who blah blah. That stuff is all over this and other forums. I just want to get as concrete a description as I can for easy future reference. |
You will need to register it as historic since it's more than 25 years old. Make sure you have the title signed over properly, previous owner registration helps if they were willing to give it to you, do a pencil tracing of the VIN tag on the dash, if you can get a bill of sale from the previous owner and have it notarized it will make it a lot easier at dmv(if the vehicle is from out of this country, they will want it notarized from that country), they want pictures of the car both from the outside and the interior and try to get pictures of the dash/gauges to show nothing has been altered. I can't remember for sure, but if the car is a project, they might want it to be 80-90% finished(I might be mixing that up with the collectors insurance requirements). Take at least 2 checks to dmv downtown Trenton because they will want separate payments for the tax to the state and the registration/title for dmv. If the vehicle is from out of the country, it gets tougher as you need import papers, and other paperwork.

It is easiest to go to Trenton.
|
go to trenton, bring all your stuff with you, along with pictures of the vehicle (i don't know why, but i remember needing them). If you try to mail the stuff in it takes forever to get back, much easier just to go to trenton. and you don't go to the main office, you go to the other one around the corner from it.

Yes, pics. And it is not the main building, it is another building. Call and ask.

I don't understand this:
"Take the collector vehicle to a State Inspection Station where the inspector will verify the odometer reading. You must provide approval letter from the MVC I/M Support. Vehicle must be prequalified as a collector vehicle. Submit completed application to..." Anytime I had my collector vehicle (the Firehawk) re-inspected, I just give the inspector the decal, he checks the odometer, slaps a new sticker on and off I go. I never heard anything about approval letters or sending in an application. Is this a new rule of some sort? |
that is new and for new apps. If you already have CR then you are ok.

Collector and History are two very different things
QQ plates are for Historic cars. You will need 3 pictures, 1 of the front, 1 of the back, and 1 of the interior. I went to Trenton, and probably spent about 30 mins total, with plates. |
I only needed 2 pics for QQ plates.
Billy, call them. |
Billy, Maybe you should call them
:lol: |
sorry to hijack but i am looking at an 82 isuzu I-mark diesel. would this qualify as a historic vehicle? i know its more than 25 years old but it wasn't limited production or anything. same process as above? thanks guys

Historic is any car over 25 years. Collectors is any car that you can show prof its collectible.
|
could the insurance be in my parents name with me as a secondary driver? or does that not fly? odometers can be disconnected/reconnected so :-P mileage limitations

Go to trenton,the special plate division is on the left after you make the left onto main st. Make sure you have pics of the car from each corner showing the car, They will want to see them.Bring your TITLE and your license, tell them you would like a historic registration application and plates.you will get them there.I pay cash so bring 45.00 with you at least,im not sure if the price went up this year.Also bring insurance card,they may ask for that also but you have to put the policy number on the reg application,Good luck. P.S. have someone go with you so they can find a parking spot for the car while you go inside to take care of business!!

Plus if they do deny coverage, then your folks are on the hook! Nice. Stop being an ass, liability is like $500 for that POS. Quote:

Yeah, the deffiniton for collectors car was very loose.
Cleaning my room last weekend, I found the collectors reg form for the 87 I filled out 5 years ago. |
In case anybody was wondering about the Trenton DMV and historic reg:
Contrary to what you may be told over the phone, and what other DMV offices may tell you, you cannot go to Trenton on a Saturday and get a historic reg. They are closed on the weekends. |
Hey Bill, Trenton MVC is closed on weekends. :lol:
