FARM FRESH 1969 359 PROJECT

Find a way to license it outside of FL. Screw 'em. Cops and politicians make rules that work for them. Make your own rules.

 

Try a different dmv. You are betting given inaccurate information. The registration is what makes it a commercial vehicle, not the vehicle. Heck you could put farm plates on it and its cdl exempt but you would be limited in how far you can drive it.

 

A lot of RV's are over 26,000 and do not require a CDL. A lot of them also have Montana tags. I have registered a truely farm truck in another county, which I owned property in, because the new tax comissioner did not want to issue a cheap tag for a truck used four weeks per year. Don't give up.

 

You mean the irp office? Ya they only deal with commercial vehicles so won't have any idea what you are talking about. Call your local dmv. The same place you renew your car registration.

 

@BIGZILLA
That's old enough, it's a bill of sale only? Isn't it?? Meaning no Title, Which would mean your paperwork "could" have no weights on it!!! And at it's age, what are the chances the door tag is still legible!!!!
You may be able to just walk into your local DMV and they won't know any different,!!!
It has worked in the past.

 

In Illinois, I can antique license my 359 according to DMV. With the expanded antique license, can run it 6 months anywhere and 6 winter months only to shows. Also got Hagerty to insure it for $300 a year, but cannot tow anything. Other antique ins companies allow some limited towing.

Just letting your know what to look for. May have some similar options in Tx.
