Anyone Have A Classic Car

[Inline 6]

Hey just thought id see if anyone has one and how much of a pain it is to get it registered as a classic.

I have a dato which I want to eventually fully restore but its ugly as sin (though mechanically is just about perfect)

I wanted to register it as a classic as that way it would be a lot cheaper and the restricted use of something like 2days a week wouldn’t bother me at all. The only thing is you need to be part of a classic car club which im a bit concerned about rolling up to join with my s box that still needs a lot of work.

so if any of you have 1 wouldnt mind hearing what the go is.

suck it up and just take your boonger spec 200b to the car club

errrr what are the differences between the new Falcons and VE Commonwhores - they look the same, sound the same, have the same power level, and both attract bogans :G

Hence why Ford have embarked on their insanely disgusting colour choices in recent years (orange, lime green, yellow, etc) - so you can tell Falcons and Commonwhores apart

hey man its b spec but it aint no 200b it beats them in the battle of the slowest cars on the street

its old zilla 2.6 Inline 6 (I like my inline 6's)

just minus twin turbo n and a cam and fuel injection and about 200 odd hp

yeah i might drag my dad along so they go easy on me and not look at me as the young punk i am

gota have love for the 260c pimpalicious

The registration you are referring to is Historic Registration.

To qualify for historic registration the vehicle must be in the same configuration it left the factory OR only with optional extras at the time. In other words, if you want to modify it, you WONT qualify for historic rego.

IF your car is 100% stock, the registration is approximately $70 per year, Plus any associated club fees. You must be a full financial member of a club that is authorised for historic rego, and can verify the historic status of the vehicle - for example, the Falcon GT Club of SA is able to have all models of Falcon GT and historic Falcons/Fairmonts under their club. Under historic rego it is a logbook system, that is, you MUST compete the log book for the expected journey before leaving your driveway, as if you dont fill it out BEFORE leaving your house, your car is UNREGISTERED and UN INSURED.

So its not as easy as cheap rego, as with club fees will often come in at around $120-150 per year, BUT its good alternative for a truely historic car (>30 years old, ie. pre 1978)

Beat me to it Lee

^^^ What Lee said.

I found out the hard way that squeezing a CA18DET into a 510 ruins it being a classic

Under historic rego, it actually used to allow some modifications such as wheels, interior changes, suspension changes, if they fitted the era, but then SMASA members and a few others f***ed it up for everyone by registering dodge chargers with 424 fuel injected big blocks under historic rego rules, claiming "the exterior does not comprimise the historic appearance of the vehicle".

The registrar of motor vehicles didnt like this and changed the rules to be 100% factory only, or original factory options only. So a few screwed it up for all

thats the same dato in the mag eddie ratler's, cheers for posting that up, but he seems to have destroyed the interior since i last saw it

id say by the time i can afford hydro's ill be older n wiser to not bother with em. its true what they wrote in there bout no 1 knows what it is. many a phone call to car places left me thinking go go mobile G - O

mines all stock cept my huyandai stereo out my mates excel rocking and air filter switcheroo but i still got the original gangsta snorkel 1

i did hear they were picky these days about mods, someone i met had to argue to get his old holden accepted because he had made a lot of the original engine parts chrome.

didnt realise their club fees are so high but cheers for the info some good food for thought.
