 Thanks for the NJ MVC link page.

OK here's the deal. I gathered my paperwork, reg re-newal, insurance ID card, and a old "collector Car Inspection Validation page" This car has been about three years over due for my collector inspection. I went to the MVC in Runnemede and asked for the lady who knew the most about the collector car stuff. I handed her my paper work, in about 3 minutes she said go to line 8 to pay c23.  I expected to have to plead my case being that the car has never been inspected for the collector tags in over 3 years! BUT the key here is that I orginally had the car registered as "Collector Status" and as long as I  still had that 3 year old inspection voucher apperently I was still grandfathered in! WoW, and now I'm actually feeling guilty for trashing this wonderful tax burdened state.   fig2

I was worried that I would be denied to keep my collector status inspection, and if so since this car is one of my ChopTops I was affraid what my other NJ tag options would have been. I guess I could of tried QQ?   :surrender:

Well anyway now I'm Happy because I'll be on the road again.

Finally an end to this story.......

I took the Bradley down to the Cherry Hill inspection station today and it went through with no problem. Funny thing is all the inspectors were checking it out and the guy who took care of my sticker was a fellow "Motorhead", with a 64 Chevy Impala.

One thing the guy did say was that if I had brought the "Inspection report" from the last time they wouldn't ask me to drive the car a mile and then bring it back so they could verify the speedo worked. I'm putting this years report in with my very important papers so next time I can shorten the time it takes to get the sticker. Hope everybody that has to deal with this has an easy time of it, thats one less worry..now about that bad clutch tube and cable!  gifsawsall

They must be getting  better training. I was only on the phone for about 25 min. Wednesday to learn what will be required to build this V8 Vdub. I was redirected a couple of times, but that was a good thing as I was always getting closer to the end result.
At the end I was given the location in Ancora that would have to certify the car as fully operational, safe, and properly constructed. I actually spoke to a guy that might do the inspections.
Now to locate a chassis builder that is certified to build a new chassis with a serial number.
Once the car is done (2012?) and it passes, it will be a 2012 car! Emisions will match the year of the engine.(1978) I must document each major component of the car. Well I do have time on my side!

Mike,

My first experince with the "Classic Collector" sticker the state had a problem with their computer & my car so I was directed to take the car down to the Anacora station. There was 3 guys running the "special vehicle inspection station". I had no problems with those guys and actually had a great time shooting the bull with 3 car nuts. They know their stuff and are nothing like the regular slugs that run the regular inspection stations. One guy asked if I'd mind if he could drive the Bradley up the road "Just to see if the speedo worked", his boss turns to me and says " Yea and if it has a Hemi he has to see if it will burn rubber!". After about 15 minutes the guy comes back with my car yelling "I love it its like a big Go Kart". They do the "Monster Truck" inspections for altered suspension and also kit car inspection which is usually done in stages. Good luck with this one and just a suggestion have everything documented in some way you will need it!
