What is legal and what passes inspection are two different things. Another smooth NJ move. A cop can write you for not having a front plate no matter how your car was registered. Historic or not. If you were given two plates from MVC, your supposed to use both. Bikes and trailers, and im sure theres a few other things. (in tranist equip, etc) that can run one plate legally.
For inspection, you (from what we are told now by the state) dont need EITHER plate mounted, they just need to be there with the rest of the credentials. To me that sounds 10000 percent crazy, but its how it is. There are tons of things that you used to fail for, and now you are only given a "Advisory" and told to fix them. You still get a sticker. As said above it all had to do with a amount of $$ the state was paying parsons and the amount of times a failed car returned to the lanes.
So to answer your question it is Illegal to have only one plate. Will you pass inspection?
Yes. Can you leave the inspection station and get pulled over and ticketed for you? Yes. Will saying "But I just passed inspection, look!" help? Nope.
