Make sure to write up a quick "bill of sale" with the buyer and seller's name & address, vehicle vin number and selling price. Both of you then date & sign it. I usually write up 2 copies beforehand to be ready just to sign....

This is true, but if your stated price is far below market value, they can refuse and investigate. That's why you tell them that it is in need of major repairs, engine or trans 😏

No sweat. Good luck with it bud. My last thought of help: Please don't expect local notaries and such to know antique/vintage rules and forms. I have found it best after years of dealing with them that you print off the forms you need from the site beforehand and fill them all out except for the final signature...

Likely not, but more importantly here is that antique plates are not intended for project vehicles either. That's what the 4 picture requirement used to keep out was rust-buckets and cheapskates trying to avoid car inspection fees with shit boxes that made the cut because they were old. Can you now register these shit boxes as antique and drive em to work everyday? I guess so. Is it right? No. But if the state doesn't care to enforce it and you are hell bent on having your way, go for it. What's another lie or sin these days right? Commonplace.

You do what you want with it, I'm just trying to inform you of what PA law reads. I'm not saying that I don't use my '47 Ford flatbed truck with antique plates to haul vintage tractors to local shows too, but it's not conforming to PA law and I know I can be cited. Will I be? Not likely, I've never been pulled over in my antique vehicles in 20 yrs of running them. I'm just trying to help you as it doesn't sound like you've read the MV forms for Antique vehicle use - not the random FAQ shit at the front door of the site.

Again, I haven't done it since 2018 when I bought the '58 Plymouth, so itay have changed. I just don't want to see you get an antique plate without understanding that there are restrictions on driving the vehicle once you do that.

No, not confused. "Antique" and "classic" are title branding. "Vintage plate" is the year-of-make plate I described. If you get your truck titled as antique, they will provide an antique plate. The vintage plate if you want to display a 1994 plate on the 1994 truck is $84 additional and you provide the vintage plate.

USE OF ANTIQUE, CLASSIC AND VINTAGE REGISTRATION PLATES The use of antique, classic and vintage registration plates is governed by Section 1340 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, which states: “It is unlawful for any person to operate a motorcycle or vehicle with antique, classic, vintage, collectible or historic military vehicle registration plates for general daily transportation. Permitted use shall be limited to participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses.” Occasional transportation and similar uses are defined as no more than one day a week. Antique, Classic, and Vintage registration plates may not be displayed on a vehicle used to transport people or property.

No, an antique title cannot be changed back either once branded. Please confirm as it's been a couple years since I've bought and plated an antique as I have a number of them. I know that they dropped the "4 picture" requirement a number of users ago which was a hurdle to cross for many to get the plates. Maybe I'm confusing the restrictions with those of my antique vehicle insurance, but the restrictions are listed on the Application forms available online at Penndot. I have branded my titles antique at purchase multiple times so you are good there. A cool thing that many don't know is that PA has a 'year of make plate ' program where you can register a vintage plate (that you provide on your own) to your car. ie, I have a 1931 PA plate on my '31 Model A hotrod, a 1958 PA plate on my '58 Plymouth... pretty cool. Ya just have to locate a year-correct plate in good condition...

You realize that there's a mileage restriction of 1,200 miles a year iirc, and trucks with antique plates are not permitted to tow/ haul anything in the bed.

Just left work in Pittsburgh driving an hour south, not loving it. 😔
