A replica vehicle means, (Wisconsin statutes 341.268(1)(e)), a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, that is a reproduction of a vehicle originally made by another manufacturer and that consists of a reproduction body that is combined with a new, used, or replica frame and drive train.
A replica will be titled and registered by the vehicle year and make of the vehicle being replicated and branded as a REPLICA vehicle.
When the hobbyist law first went into effect it was only for homemade and reconstructed vehicles. The law was later modified to include definitions for street modified and replica vehicles. If your vehicle is currently titled as a “reconstructed” {341.268(1)(d)} or “homemade” {341.268(1)(b)} vehicle to qualify for hobbyist license plates, defined in Wisconsin Statutes 341.268, that meets the definition of a replica can be retitled as replica.
