WOOOOOOOO HOOOO!!!!!! No more emissions!!!!

[AZhitman]

As of today, Project Vert never ever ever has to go through emissions again.

I'm due August 1, and I was panicking - How the HELL to get it to pass?

Well, she's now insured as a Modern Collectible (thanks to all our hard work on the 240sx Convertible Registry) and is emissions-exempt forever.

I was able to negotiate a good stated value policy with enough allowable miles to enjoy her as much as I ever would want to.... YAY!!!



Big thanks to Seth, Bart, Dexter, Paul, and everyone else in the Convertible forum for helping get our cars recognized as Modern Collectibles!

They're these invisible gasses that we all emit from our tailpipes, but only northern states in densely populated areas are held responsible for. I hate E-check, why can't we just 'rock it till the wheels fall off' with these environmental issues??

And I want MY car registered as a collector, i think at 15 years old they will allow you, am I mistaken?

[Eikon]

Cool news Greg!

I don't have emissions to worry about in my area... but the insurance thing is an issue that I am very interested in working on.

Is this "modern collectable" label a national recognition or just an Arizona deal?

More info please!... Also can you share it with the 'vert forum.

Thanks

rep up the wisconsin emissions!

but i still get emission tested in my county, but when i have a problem i register with a different county.Problem solved.

[JarrodZerg]

It's a state thing I won't ever be able to register my 240sx in Delaware as a collectible b/c they have a modified car clause. If the car is stock its good to go, if it has after market parts on it that doesn't keep to the true stock nature of the original car your SOL. Oh yeah you can have your car registered as a "hotrod" and modified but it had to have been made before 1947 or something like that.

I think it's 25 years???

FYI, I live near Cincy and they dropped "testing" year before last, so if you need me to hold onto you car until it's 25, I can do that for you .

[AZhitman]

OK, I'll clarify.

The company I went with allows for special insurance for limited-production cars, as well as modified cars (hot rods).

Mine falls in both categories, so I simply had to provide production numbers, a sec sheet (of all the mods), and pictures of the car.

She's now insured at a stated value, of my choosing, and no longer requires emissions testing.

I'm so stoked I can't see straight! WOOO!!!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Man, the more I think about it, the more I want to live in AZ... then I remember how incredibly hot it is. Greg, go outside and do donuts of joy, but make sure you tape it, cos I need video for a 240sx vid Dan put me up to.

[AZhitman]

As soon as its not 114 degrees outside, you got it.

[TchouikoS13]

Now all we have to do is get all s13's listed as Modern Collectables. Then and only then can we say we won teh war!

[JarrodZerg]

What company did you go with? I'm looking for a company that will cover what my car is worth not its blue book value or what ever they use. Because it is pointless getting full insurance on my 240sx if my insurance company is only going to give me $1000 for my car if it gets stolen.

[AZhitman]

Most all companies have what's called a "stated value" policy.

You can usually get stated value in conjunction with limited-mileage.

So, how exactly does having your car insured as a "collectible" or "hot rod" omit it from emissions testing? and how did you go about that for inspection purposes?

[CleanSfourteen]

Thanks for the offer , but my S14 is still passing E-checks just fine. Bone stock as it is, it should for at least a few more years. I'm nervous about modifications screwing that up and I hope they get rid of E-check here too.

[AZhitman]

Permanently.

And we don't have inspections in AZ (which sucks, because there's a lot of POS cars on the road here).

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Yeah but I bet there are a lot of sweet ones too.
