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

Ted in Texas

Safety. Lights horn license plate light handbrake. Full stop from 20 mph within so many feet. No emissions.
Don't go to a chain store. Denton probably has a few independent shops around. Ask them to let u drive the brake test. They watch from the passenger seat. Or listen as they try to grind through the gears.
No emissions on 74 or older.


I'm close to DFW airport in Bedford and there's a shop here that'll inspect you in 10 minutes. Done my car for several years. We're about 45 minutes south of you.

Bad news is the license tax office now uses their book value for sales tax no matter what you paid for the car.

I have a friend in Denton. I'll ask him about a good shop for the inspection.

Howdy y'all
