I fail to see how $129.60 is more expensive than $650 - however for a street-rod an extra certificate is required (see snip from website below) but presumably this would be a once off similar to an RWC, which you need for full rego anyway.
rather interestingly, 2x45 permits costs $0.10 more than a 90 day permit, for 10c I'd go with a 45 just in case you dont go over 45 in the year!
the requirement for a RWC is actually an RWC OR a safety letter from a club approved scrutineer.
Applying for a club permit
To apply for a Club permit you will need to complete a Club Permit Application form together with:
- written verification by the club secretary (or person authorised by VicRoads) that the applicant for the club permit is a member of the car club
- in the case of a club historic vehicle that is not a street rod, a current certificate of roadworthiness or a letter from a scrutineer authorised by the club, stating that the vehicle is safe for use on the road
- in the case an application made in respect of a street rod, that is a vehicle modified in excess of the level prescribed in the Vehicle Standards Information No.8. (VSI8) document [PDF, 1.06 MB, 6pp.], a Street Rod Inspection certificate issued by Jean - Christophe Bonneville (VASS No. 1042) of Bonneville Consulting, 19 Cantala Court, Endeavour Hills, Victoria 3802.
