What qualifies it for a "Historic Vehicle" License plate? Inquiring minds want to know.

Very good, Anthony got it. In missouri a 25 year old car can get 'historic vehicle' plates. Man I feel old now. Cool thing is that once it is registered this way, its permanent. No more license office or inspections each year. Can only drive it 1000 miles or less a year though, but for a third car who is counting? So the 928 has just become a HISTORIC VEHICLE!!

No actually that is a 1978 that I had bought in 1993 and sold to my dad a few years later. My mom has a 1979, dad a 1978 and I have a 1980. My dad likes to let cars sit a lot so the historic plates are right up his alley. Actually the sitting has gotten to the CIS on this one and we have yet to get it figured out.

Jay,
1000 miles a year is probably not enough to keep the CIS system properly running. Tell your Dad to get it up to about 60 MPH then hit the button under the left side of the instrument panel. Then he can drive as far as he wants without changing the odometer.

Wow so the crashing odometer even happens on the 928s??? I have firsthand knowledge on the 924S that happens, but I suppose I better warn the other family members about it. Its a bit harder to remove the speedometer on a 928 than a 924 I bet. Come to think of it my mom's doesnt seem to work all the time, I wonder if she even knows where the button is...

Yep, the only difference is the 924 uses thumb power to reset and the 928 have an electrical solenoid to really ram it in there. The solenoid on my euro torn the gear up when I was parked. 
BTW the US owners manuals show the reset button as being the lower left ****, but the ROW's have the hidden under dash button.

Dennis-
Is this the odometer and not the tripometer? Did Porsche supply an odo reset button to render the registered mileage meaningless?
(on the US '90MY the lower left to the side of the instruments resets the tripo).
TIA
