Thats what the ladys told me BMV so thats y i passed on them i love driving my car too much.Most of the Mustang guys in my area have collector plates regardless of the year. I think it's because they have modified their cars so much that it wouldn't pass emissions testing. The cut off for emissions testing is 1986 this year. Quote Selected

You choose what's on the plate, no mileage requirements and no need to own more than one car. Of course, you don't get anything special in return. You still pay the regular price for renewal.

Got my collector plates today !! Reply #8 – May 23, 2010, 08:42:50 PM I'd congratulate you, but after you've paid ~$100/year for a few years to renew those plates, you might be thinking a different way. I sure did. Next fall I'm getting Ohio historic plates (25 years!) for the '86, which does limit usage of the car, but it's no big deal since I'm driving it to and from shows anyway. Quote Selected

If you get personalized plates on a newer car, it costs a fortune every year to renew. But if your car is only 20 years old, you can get Collector plates for a one time fee of $20. We even run "Year of Manufacture" plates on a couple of our cars and that costs a one time fee of only $5. The usage is supposed to be limited, but I have never heard of anyone getting pulled over for "abusing their license plate privileges". We don't even run front plates on our "cool" cars and have never had any problems. Basically, if you're not doing something stupid, the cops don't hassle you. At least, that's been my experience.Sorry for the thread hi-jack. Again though, cool plates!! Quote Selected

Regular plates (had I been able to get them) would be around $54.00, these were $112. So for $58.00 more...:burnout: Quote Selected
Got my collector plates today !! Reply #11 – May 24, 2010, 01:39:46 PM Understood. I didn't see you were in Akron...we don't have E-Check in Mahoning County so the collector's plates for me would be out of desire, not necessity. And right now I don't desire to give the state of Ohio any more money than absolutely necessary. Regular plates here: $48.00/year. I have 2 cars.BUT there's now a $20/car "penalty" because the registration lapsed more than 2 weeks past my birthday. Nevermind that the cars weren't on the road for 6 months. That doesn't matter to the state. So I get the "privilege" of paying $136 for plates for 2 cars for 6 months, instead of the normal $96.That is, until this November. Then it's classic plates for the '86 (one time pay = F you and your fees, state of Ohio). Maybe for the '84 also. Then all I'd need to pay for yearly is the daily driver.Supposedly there's legislation presented to the State congress that would not penalize people in Ohio that store vehicles for half the year with the above plate fees. Little too late for me but hopefully it will help others in the future. Quote Selected

How much are vanity or specialty plates ??? And do you have emissions on top of that ? We used to pay $20 extra for emissions every other year. But they found a way to get money from everyone even the ones who didn't have to E-Check. They raised everyone's plates by 20 some dollars and now E-Check is "free". :hick: Quote Selected
