Colorado used to have a Collector Plate registration available for any vehicle 25 years of order. That also meant that they would not have to be smog tested. That was changed on 9/1/09 prior to my moving to Colorado. The new law said only vehicles 1975 or older would qualify. That meant that my 1977 would not qualify.
However I learned that the law changed again on 8/7/2013 to allow vehicles 32 years old or older to get the Collector Plate.
I wish that I had known this last year. I just registered my GMC yesterday as a collector vehicle.
Although the law says that you have to restrict your annual mileage to 4500 (but they don’t ask for odometer readings).
The advantage is that you only have to renew your plates every 5th year and you only have to get a smog test every 5 years.
My cost would have been $124 per year plus $15 per year for the smog test for a total of $695 for the five years. But the collector plate was $359.14 plus smog of $15 for a cost of $374.14 for 5 years. That is a savings of $320 over the 5 years plus saving the hassle of getting the annual smog test and waiting in line at the DVM for the annual registration.
Other Colorado owners might want to consider this.
