Now the Thunderbird is officially old Reply #18 – January 06, 2013, 09:51:48 PM In VA the vehicle has to be 25 yr old and it's a ONETIME fee of $50 for antique registration, plus that includes the py yellow with blue numerals antique plate(several have painted them black with white numerals, cops don't seem to have a clue)... VA will only allow year of mfgr plats up to '73 as that's when we switched to decals(and I probably have a set some on older tags)... For those it's still $50 even if you supply your own plate...BTW when I registered the '69 Cobra Jet Fairlane as antique in '06, the fee was a onetime $6... Went to $50 the next year...

Now the Thunderbird is officially old Reply #19 – January 06, 2013, 09:57:40 PM We have learned that if you have a car outside of the US it costs waaayyy too much money to register it :), and my car is old.I shouldn't complain about my $39 once every 4 year plate fee. It's $100 a year for regular plates. Quote Selected
Now the Thunderbird is officially old Reply #20 – January 06, 2013, 10:34:19 PM Yep.. I have 3 fully registered cars @ $700 each, and one club Permit car @ $150add insurance to that too I had no idea it was so cheap to register them over there. Quote Selected
Now the Thunderbird is officially old Reply #21 – January 06, 2013, 11:16:05 PM Insurance coverage on the Fairlane is $235 year for $24K with zero deductible ...Dunno what amount I'll insure the Bird, prob let Hagerty suggest figure when I register it as antique... That will exempt it from yearly inspections, so plans are to carb the 331...I'm also looking at another older Ford product(1972) that will be reg as antique... I'm having a tough time NOT wanting to put the 331 in it, but it's a 66K mi orig(has fresh paint) so likely it'll remain stock...Details as(if) they become avail... Quote Selected
Now the Thunderbird is officially old Reply #22 – January 07, 2013, 12:23:27 AM Insurance on the T-bird is $180 a year for $9K with zero deductible. I have a clean driving record but apparently being in your 20s and male makes the insurance companies think you're going to crash all the time, so they charge ya more :hick:. Quote Selected

I guess I'm not getting screwed. Living in a major metro area jacks insurance rates as well. Quote Selected
Now the Thunderbird is officially old Reply #25 – January 09, 2013, 03:06:41 PM Mine is only $360 a year (liability) for the bird. I'm 29, and with a clean driving record though, or else it would be much higher, even with the these cars not being worth much.Also forgot to mention before that reg/inspection/tag sticker/tax is only $35 per year here for anything pre-95.

Now the Thunderbird is officially old Reply #26 – January 09, 2013, 10:25:54 PM Quote from: dragon574444;406254in connecticut, it's 25 years for historic plates. It's a -little- cheaper than standard plates, same price for everything else. Vehicles older than 25 years are exempt from emissions testing, registered as an antique or otherwise. I've got antique plates on mine, and all the emissions stuff is gone :d nope 20 For Early american plates. They changed the law. BUT the car has to be 100% stock right down to the cigarette lighter. Thank God for REPAIR PLATES!! Quote Selected
