It is unlawful for any person to park, keep, place, or store or permit the parking or storage of a restorable automobile, which is inoperable, or street rod, which is in the process of construction, unless visible progress on the restoration of the vehicle is occurring. For purposes of this section "visible progress" means that a reasonable person knowledgeable about motor vehicle restoration would conclude that a bona fide restoration or street rod construction effort is occurring with the vehicle. Dead grass under the vehicle or weeds growing through the chassis of the vehicle shall be prima facie proof that no restoration of the vehicle is in progress. During automotive restoration efforts, no loose parts may be stored in the yard, there can be no tarps used over the cars and under no circumstances can any such car be stored in the front, rear or side yard. No motors, tires, axles, transmissions, or parts of any kind or nature, may be stored outside.
