I love it when people disagree without an explanation so I'll elaborate on this.
In 2004 I purchased a 1967 Valiant 4-sedan with a 273 from a dealer for $1200 the registration was lets say $120
A couple years later I purchased a 1967 Valiant 2-sedan 170 private party for "$100" and the registration was lets say $100
A few years later I went to the DMV with paperwork for my 1967 Barracuda with a 273 (essentially the same car), I didn't purchase the car but still had to put a value down, the car was there so I couldn't say $100, I put $3000, this car was more, like maybe $140
Some years later I purchased a 1969 Polara (not the CHP car) and when I registered it (transfer from out of state) I said I paid $100, this registration was like maybe $100
Likewise with a 170 dodge truck (less the weight fee) and later the CHP car.
Although the cars were purchased at different times the later registrations always reflected this, my Barracuda being the most and the others less by different amounts.
Age alone wasn't the case as I had three 67s at one time, Purchased/Valued $3000, $1000, $100 the registrations reflected this every year.
My two 69s were cheaper and they were full size cars.
Although the registration drops ever year a dollar or so the initial rate was set by the purchased price and or set value. I'm not saying this is how newer cars are done, just how I feel older cars are done.
