Connecticut CT Registration / Vehicle Property Tax - Be aware or Beware!
I've posted this in a few other forums, but wanted to share here as well, since I know folks will be going to CT inspections (at some point) this spring. You need to be sure you get your car titled / registered as a 1965, or you could be exposed to this same unethical taxation crap that I am. For 2019, Middletown, CT raised the vehicle property tax on my 2004 factory five by 1800% to $1152!
Getting your car registered as a 1965 provides the ability to get Historic plates, which keeps the annual vehicle tax at a low, fixed amount.

At the time of inspection a VIN will be assigned by the Inspector. The year assigned to the vehicle will be the year in which the vehicle was built or the year of a previously manufactured vehicle that it most closely resembles. On your registration and title documents, the make will be specified as "Composite".
