You have to decide what it is worth to you…
Next year, I get to register my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500, 4x4, with Virginia Antique Plates… Reduced insurance costs, reduced registration costs, and reduced property Tax… One time $50 cost for plates and it is recouped the first year… You just have to have a second vehicle with a regular registration (not also antique plated…) for daily use… Still have three daily use vehicles…
We also kept our 1985 Toyota Corolla (bought new) for 40-years before donating it to Eggleston Services.
All the advice of the members is what you need to consider in your circumstance, learn from others experiences and mistakes…
Good Luck!
