"Street car?"
John:
Since you're in Philthydelphia, your "street car" is street driven, I'll assume.
That means:
1. That it passes a Pennsylvania safety inspection. At Sears Auto. Not at your buddy's, who owns a garage and who'll put a sticker on anything for a beer. Current PA inspection sticker, put on by a SEARS AUTO mechanic, or the like.
Must include:
Full exhaust; legal sound output. no 2 chamber Blowmasters.
DOT tires w/legal tread depth
legal rotor and pad thickness.
steel bumpers, front and rear
Real safety glass in the front, back and sides.
Defroster. If the car was manufactured with a heater, the defroster is required.
Functioning wipers
Functioning turn signals
Functioning horn
Functioning brake and running lights
Functioning backup lights
Functioning emergency brake
All factory-installed impact bars remain.
Line locs are illegal on street-driven cars in PA
So are locked rears. Spools are a no-no.
Or, just have the car registered in Brooksville, Florida.
That way, you could run:
plastic doors. David's doors.
plastic side glass
shaved DOT tires
open exhaust
power steering box without a ps pump
gutted front and rear bumpers
No heater or defroster system
spool
illegal height hood scoop
And still be able to look somebody in the eye, and with a staight face, say "it's a street legal car."
Just like some old guy in Florida does....
