Looser equipment rules for vintage cars

The law exempts street rod, collector, or special interest vehicles from bumper, tire, and fender rules. To qualify, the vehicle keeps its original look or resembles one and is at least 40 years old. These vehicles may use modern parts for the body, engine, brakes, powertrain, steering, and suspension. You must keep any equipment that was required when the car was first sold in working order. The director may set rules to carry this out.

Simpler title for collector cars

The law creates a certificate of collector's title for rebuilt, salvaged, antique, or vintage vehicles. You can get this title without a standard inspection, for a $10 fee. It lets you rebuild, reconstruct, and sell the vehicle, but you may not drive it on roads. The department denies the title for false statements, a suspended or revoked title, unpaid fees, or unpaid sales or excise tax. Driving a vehicle with this title on public roads is a Class A misdemeanor. The department may set proof-of-ownership steps, and you can appeal decisions in district court.
