I'm trying to use my 62 Buick Special for the muscle car seasonal but it keeps flagging the age of the car as younger than 1980 
Anyone else got this problem?

It is my understanding the Special '62 is one of the Sema winner cars. The car is based off a 1962 Buick Special but isn't actually the original model. Considering it won the GT award at Sema 2003 maybe it should have been labeled a '03 model car... The same problem comes up with the Sema 2009 winner 1970 Mustang Trans-Cammer.
If you're looking for an easy win, you can get a Shelby AC Cobra 427 ‘66 (P) by winning the Classic Muscle Car Championship in B-spec.

I'd just like to use the 62 Special, i've already golded all the races using a dodge Charger and have re-raced them with 7 other muscle cars.
Thanks anyways.
Edit, hold on a mo, if that's the case how come we can use the 62 Special in GT4 Muscle car series as well as in GT5's A-spec historic race?
Edit, Just checked, you are right it's the Sema version and cant be used for the seasonal or the historic race

your right about the years. but i think its the way theyer labeled
most car say name plus year with an appostrophy
ex camero '69
cant use the art morrison vette either
label: corvette60
no spaces or appostrophy, so no year recognition. i think, Is the 62 buick labeled different from most car.
May be registered as 2003 as stated above, because of the award

Its a glitch with the car year rather than a glitch with the event. It should be labeled as a 2003 model. Same for stuff like the Chrome cars.
I actually think you could use the Buick in historic car races when GT5 first came out, and you could definitely do it in GT4, but PD fixed it but forgot to fix the year that the car is labeled.

Basically hit the nail on the head with this statement. They can't be used because "technically" they are a 2009 model according to the game, but based off a 62 or 70 model respectively.
Besides the Shelby Cobra makes this championship a cakewalk as it is.

Well, not meaning to be pedantic or anything but I think they should have given the Buick, Chromeline and Stealth cars a different manufacturer name (like the Art Morrison, High End Performance and Grand Touring Garage cars had) and made it more obvious that the Buick Special is a SEMA award winner. I know it says it in the description but not everyone reads that. I guess it's a GT4 leftover but it seems odd the Special is called a Buick but the C1 Corvette is made by Art Morrison.

The Chrome and Stealth cars should be named as they currently are. They have only minor modifications from the original cars, and the only reason that they aren't eligible for events is because someone screwed up and forgot to include dates with them. If PD would get around to fixing that, they would be fine.
As for the rest, I will simply say that PD has never seemed to care about consistency in their naming of cars. Some Tuner cars are labeled under their original manufacturer, and some of them are named with the tuner being the manufacturer (for example, see the various Autobacs JGTC cars labeled as Hondas and Toyotas). It would certainly be nice if PD bothered to fix them, but I don't see them doing it.
And in regards to the Buick, there really isn't much that they could do other than changing the year. Unlike the Trans Cammer Mustang and Art Morrison Corvette, the Buick Special was not built by a tuning house (so there is no "brand" to label it as other than Buick), but rather by the owner of the car.

Can't use the Chromeline 66 Cobra. Seems that any car that is not "stock" can not race under certain conditions.
The rest of the posts referring to the fact that there's "No Year" for the cars is correct.
I was able to use the '69 Camaro Z28 Race Modified at Laguna Seca, without issue. And that car is definitely not stock.

That's that audio bug from a few updates ago. Basically, with certain cars on certain tracks, they sometimes have a sound missing. It could be engine sounds, transmission sounds, but mostly all tire sounds will be gone from your car.
The only way to get them back is to jump out of event completely- not just restart the race, and sounds will come back, but only for one race. If you re-run the race the same sounds will be gone again.
I've tested this thoroughly.. it's annoying as hell and PD are not fixing it. It's been there for 3 or 4 updates.. they probably don't even know it exists.

For what it's worth. I discovered recently that after one of the update's you can use the Chromeline Jaguar XJ13 Race Car in the Historic Championship !!
Seems strange that you can't use the Buick for the Muscle seasonal. Sounds a bit like PD are being a little lazy in some area's where the cars are concerned in GT5.
