A Nebraska classic car registration and title procedure will be required for any of these five types of assembled vehicles: assembled classic motor vehicle, kit vehicle, custom built motorcycle from Aftermarket parts, assembled motor vehicle, and assembled ATV, minibike or UTV.

The five types of assembled vehicles are actually motor vehicles that are constructed to resemble the original manufacturing specifications. Historic vehicles are cars that are at least 30 years old and have not been altered from the original specifications of the manufacturer. A vehicle with historic or antique plates may be used only for hobby-related activities, parades or test drives.
