One of our PCA club members had his 1972 911 S completely restored, and the engine was rebuilt with high compression pistons and hot cams. No doubt he spent a lot on it, and it was perfect. Better than new.
It took several years to do the restoration and he kept all the bills in a large file. He went to get it tagged as he let that lapse while it was off the road. Tags used to be really expensive back then. The lady at the tag agency said "unless you can provide bills for SUBSTANTIAL cost for the restoration, you will have to pay all the late fees and registration costs. He pushed the folder to her and she looked at the paperwork and the total cost and exclaimed, Oh my god, that is more than we paid for our house!! He got the back taxes waived.
The state figured out so many people were working schemes to register the car in other states and other things they would get more money if they dropped the tag cost to reasonable and citizens would actually register the vehicles legally.
