Owning a vintage vehicle comes with perks, like avoiding emissions. The call came to Get Gephardt when one classic car owner said those perks were taken away.
CLEARFIELD — To be considered a vintage vehicle in Utah, a car must be at least 30 years old.
Burton was told the Civic needs to either pass an emissions test to the standard of the year of the vehicle or get special classic car insurance."We followed the rules, now we've changed, and we're out a lot of money, blood, sweat, and tears," Burton lamented. State law does have specific rules on what classifies as a classic car. In addition to age, the owner must certify the vehicle is used primarily for club activities, car shows, parades, and occasional transportation. The vehicle can't be used for everyday travel.
"They were being used on a daily basis for work, especially some pickup trucks, and I saw a number of those that were '70s, '80s, and '90s not in good shape," said Harper, "and they were polluting quite a bit." There may be hope for Burton and other collectors like him in another law change sponsored by Rep. Norm Thurston, R-Provo.
