I don't recall any specific mileage actually being on the sheet, despite what the earlier post said. As far as that and the exhaust go, they never even looked at the bus. I don't think I even drove it that day! There doesn't seem to be any provision to physically inspect the vehicle initially or otherwise, and with it being a permanant tag, how are they going to check your mileage??? They'll never see you again. Remember the 63 panel shed with no engine? It got a tag! Moreover, I think they just want you to sign the form and your check so everyone's covered.

I've always had good luck with the downtown office when I've smiled, been friendly, played dumb, and let them ask the questions! I try not to say too much (is it okay that the exhaust's changed?) because then the clerk has to give an accurate answer that won't come back to bite her later. That's probably why they keep the questions to a minimum, too.
Good luck! It shouldn't be a problem!

I am trying to get it right.   Are they or not doing a physical inspection in Hamilton Co?  I have 3 "old" cars:  a 71 Fiat Spider, an 80 Fiat Abarth 131 (old rally car) and now the 71 Ghia convertible.  The 2 71's should be exempt from emissions testing, right?  Now about my 80 Fiat-- it originally came w/ a catalytic converter but this was removed.  It has fuel injection however.  I wonder how "tight" an emissions do they want to run?  I was thinking, maybe I should just take a chance and take the 80 Fiat for inspection and see what happens?  Or should I just register as an antique and forget about it??  I LOVE to drive my old cars (more so than my newer "nicer" cars!!) and was looking forward to driving them frequently.  What are the restrictions for antique plate cars and how strictly are these laws enforced in case you get pulled over say for a ticket??  Thanks

We registered our 2 with antique tags so that we don't have to pay the annual tag renewal and the $10.00 annual emmissions test charge.  You pay for an antique tag 1 time and never have to renew it again.  It helps to save a buck whenever you can.  We don't drive either car daily but doubt seriously that the police are going to take the time to stop us because of driving with an antique tag on the car unless we're doing something else wrong.  

Well, they do look a lot like the tags from the late 60s to mid 70s, when they first started to use renewal stickers.

Those were plain and ugly, too.

At least they were stamped. The antique tag looks like it was made on a Xerox machine.

Glad you got through with no hassles!
