In Massachusetts you can get an "antique" plate if your car is more than 25 years old AND you only drive it to shows. If you're caught driving it other than to a show, they take the plate.

The alternative is year of manufacture, as there are no restrictions by the state. The head of each DMV office has to personally inspect each plate to be sure it's authentic and doesn't have too much wear and/or rust.

Your insurance company, however, can set restrictions. Hagerty Insurance, for example, really has no mileage limitations for classic cars. Other companies I called limited me to either just going to shows or 1,000 miles per year or less. Hagerty won't, however, let you use a classic as a daily driver.

I've never been a huge Vette fan, but hey, different strokes...

Thats a very nice ride TexasDreams... i think you should buy it! :thumbsup

I opened this thread expecting to see something in the 60's...

that ain't no vintage ride, sorry.

Nice ride...

Vintage car is cool. Nice car, indeed. ;)

when I think vintage vette I think 67-68

vintage? i have a car much older than that vette and it is NOT vintage. Hell that vette would be lucky to be referred to as a classic.

It's a beauty. Go for it!

My car dealer friend just bought an 87 Corvette Convertible with 75,000 km, always stored inside, absolutely mint shape for $10,000 Canadian. He sold it a week later for $14,000 Canadian. Just to let you know what they are worth around here.

I was surprised how nice the car was. I never heard a lot of nice things about the 80's vettes, but after driving in this one I really wanted to buy it myself.

50..........

You cannot buy this car.

According to the ICS handbook - which you've signed Texas Dreams - it is against the rules to purchase an automobile faster than mine.
