I Donated thefultonhow Posted February 2, 2012 I Donated Share Posted February 2, 2012 How would they know anyhow? This. In MD, any car 20 years old or older that is driven less than 5000 miles a year can get historic plates, but I've seen a few 91 Accords that look like beater DDs that have historic plates... Historic plates are also less expensive in MD, but the main reason to get them is to avoid emissions and safety inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 to get collector plates on a newer car there are a few steps you need to take. the first thing is you need a letter from Subaru showing how many were produced of your car by year and entirely. if is is 500 or less in a year or less than 1000 in three years you can take you can take that letter to the county clerks and vehicle registration and they will give you the paperwork to fill out and submit. after god knows how long you will get a certificate from them allowing you to get collector plates if they approve. good luck. i have only heard that is is a time consuming project that will get you nowhere. that is the info that i have gotten for trying in colorado. Where did you get this info? I don't see any documentation on the Colorado DMV page that supports this. Do you have a link to documents that prove this to be accurate?

RuskiTrombone Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's a 91 beater accord... I'm even giving them credit when I think they have a functioning odometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utmost Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 UPDATE: I received an email. ..."Dear Mr. Most, Good morning and thank you for your patience while I researched your inquiry regarding collector plates. I was able to confirm that this indeed was a special edition vehicle. I've put this information on our letterhead and it is in transit to you. I hope that you are able to get your collector plates and I do apologize for any confusion. I say this because I noticed today that you had received some different information when you called into the call center. Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance..."

SubieChik Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 hmmm....no shit. Send me a copy? Or at least share the email address? I don't want collector plates, but it would be neat to have that letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utmost Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 That letter is coming outta SOA headquarters in Jersey. I'll see if the woman who helped me can get letters for all the spec owners who want one. I dont see why not, though I just used the standard contact form on SOA's website, if anyone wants to email them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Let me know if she says Yes! I was planning on new plates when my tags expire anyhow so might give me additional options... if not no big deal either, but worth a shot!

dr_sharp Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wonder if 07s would be eligible too? Not that it matters to me... in TX inspections consisting of kicking the tires and honking the horn (not kidding). lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerklo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wonder if 07s would be eligible too? Not that it matters to me... in TX inspections consisting of kicking the tires and honking the horn (not kidding). Probably not... 06 was the only year they had limited production and registered numbers. If I remember correctly 07+ the Spec.B was just a trim level option.

Utmost Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I received my letter in the mail on official Subaru letterhead. I'm very pleased, but I fear its a bit vague. "Dear Mr. Most, Thank you for contacting Subaru of America with this request. Please accept this letter as official notification that your vehicle , (VIN) is indeed a special edition model. Sincerely," I wonder if something about the actual production number will be required. Guess it's up to the DMV now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
