Jake, I'm going to go to the local DMV office and get "official" clarification on this. It doesn't make sense that you can register a brand new replica car with a "hobby/antique" tag, but unless the car is 25+ years old, or registered as such, that it has to pass emissions. Here's what the DMV site says:


"Custom cars built in Georgia that are less than 25 years old follow the same registration, title, and tag procedures as a regular passenger vehicle.

You will need a valid Georgia driver's license, proof of insurance, and the appropriate fees and taxes. Georgia charges an $18 title fee and a $20 registration fee. Tag costs and taxes will vary by county.

No title or certificate will be issued to any car unless it meets the emissions standards adopted by the state. Your vehicle will need to be inspected prior to being registered".

Hobby and antique vehicles over 25 years old (or vehicles manufactured to resemble such vehicles) are eligible for a special license plate through the state of Georgia. These cars do not require any special permits to operate on the state's roadways, as long as they display a valid tag".


Gotta love those public servants...NOT!
