Don,

Those are the old inspection rules. My replica won't be subject to most safety rules. However the NOS and flamethrower laws probably apply - not that I need or want either.

Fortunately, the new Replica Vehicle rules that become effective next week are strongly in our favor. The only safety/emission rules that apply are those in effect for the original year that the car is a replica of. Virginia has made it better this round - not worse. The original thread is here:

I mailed my paperwork to Richmond today to get a VIN (I had a Gibbon MSO). When I get that back, I will apply for a replica title - then see what they say about inspection. I'll bet the inspection stations won't have a clue. I know that the DMV doesn't have their forms updated for VINs, Titles and Registrations for Replicas. A helpful lady at the DMV home office told me how to deal with it, though.

I"m going to update the old thread so the other Virginians will know what's going on.
