Just goes to show......

It's different based on the state but CA, NY and other heavily populated areas I would expect problems. My GSP is driven only to shows and cruise-ins and I cover the light bar and decals...I've had no complaints recently but did get one long ago when it was unmarked. I've taken steps to print a letter with picture and deliver it to the local area PD's and had no trouble. I do live in a rural area though. Typically you will end up being pulled over by smaller town police...most state police/sheriffs at least in my area won't bother you unless you are doing something stupid or suspicous.

If you have a car retired from the state you live in then expect to be subjected to a more stringent set of rules regardless of year but out of state restored cars are not as high profile.

Always safest to trailer if you can but if you hit the highway and drive it just go the extra mile to make sure it is obvious you are not trying to impersonate or could be taken as trying to impersonate an officer.
