I just went through the process of re-registering my SPF after it was flagged as an "improperly registered" vehicle upon my application for transferring a vanity plate at the DMV. I realize this is a different case as it's not a new build, but may be similar to a lot of cars out there. I've recounted my experience in a separate thread in the Registration Forum, successfully getting the new NY VIN number and finally registering it as an assigned 1999 Custom.
Now, I'm concerned about the NY Inspection for my car. My safety inspection is good until May '07 as it was done under the old VIN and registration as a '66. I was told by the Technical Services Bureau people that the car's emisson standard would be that for the motor installed; in this case recognized by them to be a 1966 replacement motor. I don't see that in any of the DMV documents referenced here. When I roll into an inspection station next year or at any time with my new registration, won't they scan the bar code and then ask for an OBD II plug? Unless the bar code has something imbedded in it that would signify "exempt" status. What happened when you guys went through the inspection?
Thanks...
