So big changes for me and my family. We are moving to Phoenix and I am stuck with a big question.
How should I register my 914? I have gone through the old threads that discuss the benefits of registering old vehicles as classic/collectors vehicles. Is that still the best way to go? How difficult is the inspection process for normal old cars? Does the car have to pass a visual inspection? It has the original engine but I took off the air injection and backdated the exhaust. I don't want to keep the parts if I don't have to. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Chris |

Hi Chris - welcome to Phoenix. Your car will have to pass the roller test for CO and HC plus a visual. Not sure if they will know the exhaust was backdated (I assume you removed the Cat so they probably will look for that). If you have 1 more car than drivers in the house, you can get collectors car insurance (I use American Collectors Car Insurance) and register it as a collector's car and bypass all inspection requirements. My insurance is $210 per year and plates were $105 for 5 years. That is the way to go in my opinion. If you're still in the USAF you might be able to register the car in your home state and avoid AZ plates all together. Good luck and PM me if you need advise on good 914 mechs in the area.

I agree with the collector insurance, just make sure you meet all the requirments that American Collectors insurance requires to have your car insured through them. Noticed the USAF... if your aren't familiar with the in leiu of tax form, I definantly recommend doing that. I was stationed at Davis-Monthan and my home of record is TX. Go to legal get the form, and it saves you having to pay taxes on the car when you register it. So for my 914 registered in Tucson it cost me $18 for two years. If you want more info feel free to PM me, I am not at DM any more I just PCS'd to Tampa, but I went throught the process a couple times while I was living in Tucson. |
