A version of SEMA-model legislation that would create a vehicle registration classification for street rods and replica custom vehicles and provide for special license plates for these vehicles was reintroduced in the New Jersey Assembly.

A version of SEMA-model legislation that would create a vehicle registration classification for street rods and replica custom vehicles and provide for special license plates for these vehicles was reintroduced in the New Jersey Assembly. The bill defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1948 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948. The bill allows kit cars and replica vehicles to be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model-year designation the body of the vehicle most closely resembles.

The ’32 Hi-boy Roadster built by volunteers in collaboration with L.A. Roadsters, along with students at the Alex Xydias Center for Automotive Arts (AXC), was auctioned at last week’s Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction for $105,000.

Built as a tribute to the ’32 Roadster that West Coast hot-rodding pioneer Bob McGee created in 1947, proceeds from the sale of Hi-boy benefit the Alex Xydias Center for Automotive Arts—a two-year program that provides students the hands-on training required to enter the automotive industry.
