Vehicle registration and emmissions testing, Registration antique vs classic ?? Which one?? Options

[913B]

Hi I am new to the state, can any locals give me the low down on getting my 914 registered ?

Tell me if I got this right

1. I get a vehicle safety inspection. Do they check for any abnormal lights on dash. After getting the vehicle back from transporter my idiot brake light is staying on. Should I pull the bulb out during inspection ?

2. It's 1971 do I need a emmissions test ? I don't know if it will pass. It's stock 1.7 FI

3. Go to tax assessor office to give the state more $$

4. Go to the dmv to register ?

Your 2 cents are appreciated

Thank you

1971? just a check of car's systems - lights, turns, etc. - but you can register the car as an 'Antique Auto" - It's a pain to do but the reward is worthwhile, no front license plate, no annual inspection, and the plates last, I believe, 4 years.
