Jersey boy insured by Liberty (for my regular cars) here at your service.
Just call Liberty, give them your current insurance policy number and the
cars id number and you are in business. Motor Vehicles need the title and
your same policy number, to title and register the car ,they will give you
plates too. When all is done and if the car is 25 years old and not a daily
driver, get an application for Historic plates (takes time ,so get regular
plates first) and write or call J.C. Taylor for classic insurance (at least
1/5 the cost ). If you stick with regular plates, you will need Liberty to
send you an insurance card as you will have two weeks to inspect the car,
and the card is needed then, not when you register it. No inspection for
Historics. Any questions?
