MONTE CARLO Colorado legal headers

As I mentioned in another post, my brother lives there. He bought my late uncle's Pro Street AMX, and took it out there. Aside from Bandimere enforcing every NHRA law to the letter, he has to physically present the car at the DMV before he can get plates. It's sad because it's not really a race car, just a cool street car.... Now, he's balled up with a mismatched VIN due to previous front-end damage, and the CO DMV won't register the car. Here in MD, all you have to do to get Historic plates is present the Bill of Sale, Insurance info, title, and pay the fee (which is pretty lax considering how many "other" laws we have).

If he has the MD title in his name he outta just register the car in SD.

He can do it himself or use a service:

In the 1990's, we used to have all our cars registered in SD. I remember I was living in SC, had a TX drivers license, insurance card was a from a corporation in NE and had SD plates on my T-type and got pulled over. Trooper looked it over, scratched his head, handed everything back and just pointed for me to go,

I don't know about cheap, but he does want to sell it.

My dad and I were the guys that bought the multiple national concours champion '68 for $6,500 + My SC360 I had $4500 in:

and then bought an original Hurst SS/AMX (#27) with 6 miles on the odo for $23k:

When I say cheap, I mean Cheap.

We sold the SS to Kevin Sydam for $45K with our 6,500 mile '71 BM camaro in a "$110K package deal". He bitched that the original paint wasn't "show quality" - duh, it was a slapped together race car, so he put it on E-bay and it sold for $130K. We Probably should have held onto it for another year or two.
 
First you gotta get a VIN inspection on anything entering the state. (Police departments can do this, it helps to know a cop🙂) Then you can get a temp tag, then you get to go get your emmissions done, then you can get plates. If you live outside or have an address outside the front range, you don't need emmissions. (if I lived 7 miles east in Elbert county, I'd be Golden.) They did away with collector plates for anything newer than 75 some years back, from what I understand, it's been changed back to 30 year rolling. You still need an e-test to get said plates though, hen the plates are due every 5 years. At least California has age exemptions......
 
This is 80s style Pro Street- 496 BBC, tunnel ram, 850 Demons, DN 5 speed w/ Long shifter, 33x21.50s, ladder bars, short Dana, etc
Goes 10.50 or better (never had a quicker pass, but more in it)
