Here in Iowa, we do not have an inspection at all. When I recovered my
'65 bug, it didn't even have an engine in it.(well, it was in the back
seat.) I cost me $20 to get a replacement title, and $10 for the license
plates.
When I bought my '66 Fastback, the gal at the court house wouldn't
believe that I bought it for a 6 pack of Guiness beer. All she wanted to
know was how much I paid for it so she could charge me sales tax, and
the $10 license fee.
All air cooled VW's cost $10 a year to license.
My son (in California) contacted me the other night, about getting his
'85 honda CRX licensed back here. He went darkside and installed a
Japanese dual overhaed cam engine, and they won't pass him on the
emissions test because the engine is not orginal to the frame.
