1. No emissions sticker needed for Antique or Classic plates
2. You can get an “exempt” sticker if you can show driving less than 5,000 miles a year
3. According to the rules, no you can’t daily drive. But, how the hell are they going to know? As for the mileage, not sure what you are allowed per year…since you can always say you travel to car shows in California several times a year 🙂
4. No motors don’t have to work. I had a classic plate on my 87 Mustang, and air, heat, defrost didn’t work…didn’t even have it hooked up.
