I tried looking around on servicearizona and AZDOT but could not find anything regarding emissions. Are historic plated vehicles exempt from emissions no matter where the vehicle is registered in AZ?

No. Plates are not really associated with emissions status. I forget the age but I think you can buy historic plates for anything over 15 or 20 years old regardless of its emissions status. I have historic tags on my 89 but not my 83.
To get emissions exempt for a vehicle newer than 1968 in Maricopa county you need to get classic insurance before you register. You can then buy historic or normal tags as you wish. I have both the 89 and 83 under classic insurance

Okay, thank you for the information. I guess I'll stick to my veteran plate then.
Probably best if that is your daily driver. Historic insurance is usually pretty limited with the mileage allowed unless you want to pay out the nose.

No, I am good. This is my daily and I do not wanna get bent over and not be able to drive the LC daily. Since owing it I have only put 8k in 10 months.
Scott, You want to talk to @Ken in AZ
Is there something I missed or is there info more accurate than I have?
