classic bone stock cj pics

Here in PA most all vehicles are eligible for for classic (15 years old) or antique (25 years) old - as long as they're stock and in good condition. However, Jeeps are specifically excluded. I've seen one military resto job - paint, shovels, the whole 9 yards, and it had an antique plate but that was years ago. I checked into it when I got my 90 YJ and well, without the ability to get classic plates (and the advantages of said plate) there's no incentive to keep things stock.

I didnt see anything saying Jeeps where not eligible. Only down fall is it limits the amount of driving you could do wit hit.Here are the PA laws on classic plates.

When I saw all the posts to this thread, this is not what I expected!
Sorry Bill! I will have to do some reading...not sure if I can post my 65 up as being stock. Its got the Buick V6, but iirc, they didnt get those till 66
Its 44 yrs old. Ive had it for about 25 years, but what happened during its first 20 yrs?! As far as classic plates in Pa goes, Ive got a friend in St Marys (Pa) who put them on his 79 CJ5, so...

you aint old enough to own any car for 25 years.
quit lyin.
I've had classic cars in the past and when I tried to move a plate to my wrangler the state rejected it and stated Jeeps (CJ/Wranglers) are not eligible. Perhaps it was just some picky bureaucrat.
I could try for the Collectible Vehicle plate I suppose. The objective was to avoid emmissions inspection as the PO put a chevy v8 in it with no cats. I'm OK as long as I keep the mileage under 5k a year.
Since it's not a daily driver the classic designation saves $30/year on emmissions inspection, makes the plate a $75 lifetime instead of $36/year, and I can get insurance for $100 a year instead of $350. Those are the advantages I was speaking of.

That is just a sweet little Jeep rite there...V6 to...nice job!! You have the old hardtop for the 67? Thats great. I lost mine when I was young and stupid :x I think when I start back up on mine, Id like to get the plow frame cut off, and put a nice bumper on the front.
Ok..lemme see if I have a crappy pic I can post...it actually looks better than this now. The soft top and doors are on, and it isnt covered in barndust! Poor little old timer!
