The magic number here is 30 years old, doesn't matter if it is a POS. No safety, if it was licensed in Saskatchewan or emissions test. If my 88 doesn't sell, next year less than $200 a year compared to 70+ a month now.
Are 90's cars classic now???

94-97 are the lt1 camaros that seem less desired/valuable then the 98-02
They are and the "value" of the later LS cars are their drivetrains. Only the mintest of the mint LS cars are going to survive, because their drivetrain will be robbed to go into a "better" car and the F-body junked.
If you have a choice between daily driving a '99 Camaro or a '69 Chevelle (or any rwd sedan or couple, really) with a '99 Camaro drivetrain, people are going to pick the '69 Chevelle, etc. 95% of the time. If you have to "restore" a car, why not it be something good that doesn't have bad ergonomics and the negative stigma associated with 4th gen Camaros.
In Nebraska, nobody gets "classic" plates, anymore. The state allows you to replate the car with a license plate from the year of the model year of the car. So if you have a 1986, you can find a license plate from 1986 and make than be the "permanent plate" for the car.
We took it one further because Nebraska used to number its counties by a 1920 census: Douglas County (Omaha) was 1, Lancaster county (Lincoln) was 2, etc. up to 93 (the number of counties in Nebraska). The Typical License plate was 1 - AXXXX
So if you get an '86 license plate from Blaine County, NE, its 86-XXXX. For our 2+2, we welded up a plate and had it painted by a sign painter friend of ours (with just a touch of patina). You take it to the DMV and get it signed off and they put a "Historical" sticker on it, and that is now the permanent plate:

I used AAA and they let me register it as antique so no more inspections or yearly registrations with it non 1984 in appearanceSeems like they eased up on that, I see alot of rusted out POS's that can't pass the standard inspection getting the enhanced stations to pass & OK the registration. How does a dented up, rusty car with broken/missing parts & barely runs get a mechanic to sign off on a classic registrtation. I've even seen some antique registrtations (20+ years) that should of never been OK'ed. I've been told cause my '81 will have a cowl hood, the lay down SS spoiler & late '70's Z28 wheels I can't get either registrations. 😡
I thought we had to go to a enhanced inspection station for them to ok the registration for classic/antique applications. AAA never said anything last time I asked about it.
No, enhanced should just be if you are trying to get an R title with a salvage certificate
I paid like 400 or something when I got the plate though,but figured for the long haul it was worth it
