Hi I am retired now so I will have the time to order and complete my car this year. I will order this month so that it arrives in March/April time frame and is completed during the summer. I already have my engine which is a D0VE block 429 and I am tearing into it to get it ready for the car. I will run a C6 in it but will set it up to convert to stick if I decide to later. (bad left knee). I had heard from others that your car had to meet certain requirements for "collector" status , but apparently you guys had no problem with that.Do you have to make some special application for collector car status registration or just go to your local MVC office and ask for it( after the inspection/title of course) ?Are future odometer checks done at the local inspection station? Did they put a seal on your odometer cable?Thanks to all for the advice.
