Reply to "Pantera insurance and registration?"

PCNC member Mark McWhinney registered his Pantera as a Historic Vehicle (CA). You may wish to contact him directly to learn more about what was involved and what restrictions are imposed by the state. His email is msm@portata.com

Excerpt rom the CA DMV website (http://www.dmv.ca.gov) and special plate application (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg17a.pdf)...
"Historical Vehicle - Vehicle may only be driven in historical exhibitions, parades, or historic vehicle club activities"

FWIW - I have my Pantera registered as a regular car (the standard registration process) and I have AAA for insurance. I can drive it anywhere any time. If I recall correctly, my rate allows up to 10,000 miles per year, but I'm only putting on about 7,500 each year so far. I just got a quote from Hagerty for 5,000 miles per year and it was $326 (or something close). Pretty close to the AAA rate, however the Hagerty quote was for significantly LOWER coverage amounts. I need to call them and talk to a rep to be sure I'm comparing apples to apples.

Cheers!
