ICULUKN Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 New law exempts collector cars from emissions testsBob GolfenThe Arizona RepublicApr. 11, 2007 12:00 AM Car hobbyists and collectors can skip state emissions tests starting this month as the law exempting collectible vehicles goes into effect with April registration renewals. The exemption, recently approved by the federal Environmental Protection Agency, allows show cars and hobby vehicles 15 years or older to bypass emissions for annual renewal in Maricopa and Pima counties as long as they carry special collector-car insurance, which limits mileage and use. The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division has been working with insurance companies that provide collector-car insurance to compile a database of vehicles that are exempt, said Cydney DeModica, spokeswoman for MVD. advertisement "We've been working with the insurance industry for quite some time, and the companies are sending us data transmissions that include the collector cars registered in the state," DeModica said. Collector vehicles on the list should receive renewal forms that say "no emissions test required," although there are still some gaps in the database, she added. If the form for an eligible vehicle says "emissions test required," the owner should bring proof of insurance into an MVD office to get the exemption. Vehicle registration can be completed online at www .servicearizona.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnU Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Is this info still correct. If I have collector car insurance I avoid emissions in Maricopa? The vehicle is a 1950 with a ZZ4 chevy engine. TIA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vehicle is a 1950 with a ZZ4 chevy engine. TIA!!! A 1950 vehicle is already exempt from emissions. The emissions requirements apply to 1967 and newer vehicles only. Official AZDEQ FAQs: https://www.myazcar.com/faqs For newer vehicles that DO require emissions, collector insurance is the key. I know someone with a 2010 vehicle with collector insurance - no emissions. The downside is there are specific requirements or restrictions, such as usage, mileage, must be garaged, etc. The specifics vary between carriers and policies.

Extender32 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 We have Julies insured through Hagerty and the only exception is her car cannot be driven to work and must be garaged but we also do have collector plates and no emissions are required and plates are super cheap, i.e $120 for a 5 yr registration.

aenigma Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I sell classic car insurance for all years of vehicles. Yes there are restrictions, each company is different. One says the vehicle has to be over 25 years but no mileage or garage restrictions, one will do any year but it has to be an “extra” vehicle and they also offer unlimited, they’re all slightly different. I have had no issues with payout for any of them. I just use different ones depending on the clients’ situations. It’s nice not having to do emissions. Also, the company I choose depends on the type of vehicle. One may accept a Jeep or truck that the others won’t. That being said, if a car is 1966 or older, your emissions are waived anyway in AZ. The purpose of classic insurance would be for the low premium in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
