i would like to register my 1971 AN600 as a Historic Vehicle in Ca.
i realize it may limit the usage of the car...
but it's a 600 not a commuter Civic.
plus i think they all deserve the recognition in history as a
landmark vehicle for not only Honda but for the entire modern day FF
industry.
so here's what i need (cold hard facts are best):
sales figures;
- info on # of 600's sold total in USA (69-72)
- # of AN600's sold in CA in 1972
- link to any resources or articles noting the historic value of our
little 2-cyl mama's.
any other info you feel may be needed to accomplish the task.
basically i need to prove to CA DMV that it is worthy to issue the
plates to a 1971 Honda 600 Sedan.
also, has anyone (or know of anyone who) even reg their 600 as a
Historic Vehicle in CA?
anyone know if there is any drawbacks to having these plates issued?
is insurance affected? (my current carrier will only give me comp
coverage for the 600 anyway)
thanks for all the help!

600 Experts: Need help registering as "Historic Vehicle" in CA
Re: 600 Experts: Need help registering as "Historic Vehicle" in CA
I had Historic Plates on my 1957 Zundapp scooter. DMV told me renewal
fees would only be $25.00, but when I got my renewal it was $6.00
more than if I just registered it regular - it was $46.00. Also, I
was told I could only drive my scooter in *Club* events, in *Parades*
or for *Test Driving*.
Insurance costs the same, Buy yourself a Vehicle Code Book at the
DMV, they are only $3.00 and lists every law in Calif pertaining to
all motor vehicles. Did you know that a car manufactured before April
1970 and weighs under 1500 pounds doesn't require fenders? That's how
the Hot Rod guys get away with no fenders.
To qualify: All you need is to be behind the year of requirement,
don't think you need anything else. If they give you any guff, ask
for the Supervisor at DMV. I will look in my code book if you need
immediate help.
