Wease Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I've got them on my Cobra. All I had to do was show them my SVT Certificate. Since my SVT Contour is my daily driver, I don't want collector plates for it. Plus I don't want to pay extra for them. The SVT Contour should qualify because it was a limited run production car. And those of you bagging on them, EAD. They are a fun, low cost car. 26 MPG, 5 speed, 4 doors, and they handle really, really well. Best $5K I ever spent on a car. I've put almost 50K miles on mine in almost 4 years without one problem. I'll be driving it into the ground... :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 so...perhaps I missed it, but what are the advantages to having collector plates over a standard or personalized plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLOWLX Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I thought they have been cheaper that's why I wanted them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 so...perhaps I missed it, but what are the advantages to having collector plates over a standard or personalized plate? I did it because I originally thought it meant no front plate was required. This is incorrect, however most police don't know that. It has worked for me once so far, so basically it paid for itself that year. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA In Progress Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Where on oplates.com do I look to see what fees would be for historical/collector plates? This would be for Cleetus. $50 a year for personalized plates is starting to go against my better judgment. I won't get rid of them unless I can get some other plate for cheap. I like the white OHIO historical plates... The nice thing about the historical tags is that you only pay for them once. I know they were less than $50. I hated to get rid of my personlaized plates on my 51, but I couldn't justify $90 a year for a car that I don't drive much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I thought I read that Collector plates are exempt from emissions. That could come in handy should Columbus ever get emissions testing. But I'm not 100% sure on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 They are. In my case, it's also a discount on my car insurance for the Formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99BlownYellowGT Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Is there a site that can tell you how many of your type of car was made that year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 For every car ever? Not that I've ever found. For cars that have any type of following some nerd somewhere out there somewhere compiled a list from factory records. A car like a mustang, yeah you'll find it. Google it.
