In the 2003-2004 Legislative session, NCGS §20-20-183.2 was amended by adding a
new subsection that became effective January 1, 2005:
"(a1) Safety Inspection Exception. – Historic vehicles, as defined in G.S.
20-79.4(b)(17), shall not be subject to a safety inspection pursuant to this
Article."
Since the amended section referenced a different section:
G.S. (20-79.4(b)(17) This is actually the section on specialty liscense plates,
but since the legistaltion above says "as defined", I don't think that you need
to have the tag and that this paragraph is just being used as a definition of
the type of vehicle that is exempt from inspection....
G.S. (20-79.4(b)(17) Historic Vehicle Owner. – Issuable for a motor vehicle that
is at least 35 years old measured from the date of manufacture. The plate for
an historic vehicle shall bear the word "Antique" unless the vehicle is a model
year 1943 or older. The plate for a vehicle that is a model year 1943 or older
shall bear the word "Antique" or the words "Horseless Carriage", at the option
of the vehicle owner.
