Covenants are written by the developer.  It's not at all unusual to 
find they have provisions that are in violation of local code, state or 
federal law.  To be fair, in many cases that's because the laws have 
changed.

In Indiana, it's impossible to register a vehicle that's not road 
worthy as an antique.  There's an inspection required.  You can put 
regular plates on it, unless the previous registration is out of state, 
in which case, it needs to be inspected.

Many places have ordinances prohibiting the storage of non-operative 
vehicles on residential property.  Meaning, yes, it's a code violation 
to restore your LBC in your own garage.  Whether they get enforced or 
not varies, and probably depends on the neighbors, and how much noise 
you make at midnight.
