Re: Classic or not?
I get more thumbs and "Cool" yelled out the window cruising in the Laguna than I ever did in my 65 mustang.
You just don't see these cars on every corner, and that makes them unique,if not collectible or classic.
love 'em or hate 'em, They ain't boring, that's for sure

IMO
Cam Ams = collector
Buick GNX = collector

In some states, your car would qualify for classic or antique plates. (20 yrs old)
That is ONE definition of a classic.
Yes, but once you put classic plates on a car your only allowed to drive it on certain days. Screw that crap, cars are meant to be driven. In fact when the other turd I own once its done driven in all seasons when I'm done with it.
I'm not saying anything special because everything I own is junk to other people. They are probably right. There is hopes and dreams and than there is reality. All in all depends how much money you have in your pocket. New cars are nice but I rather work on old junk cars what other people classify them as.

Never made a GNX in our body style, but this car comes close:

or maybe the turbocharged Century Pace car

That must suck. Here in Kansas, you put antique tags on & be done with it. There are no limits on how much you can drive it plus it lowers insurance by a small margin. My cousin did it to his 63 back in high school (1998) & it has passed through 2-3 owners with the same tag still on it today.

Nice looking ride. Im looking at tire and wheel combinations for my 76 just wondered what your running. It certainly looks very nice. Thanks, jerry harman

From a previous thread:
74Malibu383 wrote:I'm running 19”x8” and 20”x10” Rushforth Fuel wheels, wrapped in Nitto 275/35/19’s and 315/35/20’s.
Backspacing: 19x8 with a 5" and 20x10 with a 5.75"
I can't even begin to explain how well the backspacing works on this car. Of course, I have 4 wheel Baer Disk Brakes, so you would compensate with 1/8" less backspacing if you had the stock set up.
The wheels and tires tuck perfectly and have NO issues with rubbing even with the car 3" lower. No air shocks required!
The only thing I would do if I did it over again would be to go with 8.5" or 9" rims up front and 10.5" or 11" rims in the rear. I think the tires would look a little better on wider rims.

74Malibu383 & the infamous "What's your wheel combo?" question! LMAO you must have really done something right. I even saw one of your YouTube vids on another forum a few days ago. Got some compliments over there too.

I called the Oregon DMV when I was thinking about getting "special interest" plates and I was told that the car had to:
1. Be 25 years old or older
2. Cannot be daily driven
3. Can only be driven during car exhibitions (car shows, club cruises, drag racing)
No thanks. I want to be able to drive my car anytime I damn well please. The only real upside is I would only have to register once for $80 and get issued ONE plate and never have to pass emissions again.

Re: Classic or not?
here in Illinois its only 35 bucks for Antique Vehicle plates no emission ever again and are they really ever gonna know that you are not taking the car to be worked on, just came from it being worked on, or not taking it to a show
Illinois is very leniant on this policy
