All,

As I work on completing the restoration over the spring, I am turning my mind 
to the after hassles; namely registration and inspection.
I have the title to car, signed over by mom. (Thanks mom.)  But, the car hasn't 
been driven in Texas since 1988.

From what I can tell, I will have to register the car, transferred to my 
ownership.
I will register the car as a "Classic", since the "Antique" designation is very 
limited.

Does anyone have any experience with registering your car as a "classic".  Did 
that include a simultaneous ownership transfer?
If so, can you share with me?  How did that designation impact the inspection 
requirements?
Do they inspect the car based on the requirements for the year it was made?  Or 
do they expect it to be like a brand new car, and inspect it according to those 
rules?

Any shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.




Cheers,
