Wow. That means it would completely replace the water in the Atlantic ocean every two seconds!

Someone might say that, but the NADA guide is quite exhaustive, covering basically all cars dating back to 1926.
I would be somewhat surprised if there is a single car registered in DC that doesn't have a published NADA book value.

Is that settled law?
On its face, I don't think it's clear that that is the only interpretation.
It would be worth reaching out to whomever has the authority to make that sort of legal interpretation in the DC system. That will not be the DMV customer service people.

IANAL...
What about the following sentence "If the NADA guide does not provide the fair market value for a particular vehicle, the applicable bill of sale shall be used."
That could be interpreted as covering cases such as this, couldn't it?
I mean, any reasonable person should recognize that the "book" value for 50 year old classic cars probably rarely matches the value of a particular example.

Just checked NADA prices, and yep, the median resale of a '72 F-100 is $26k.
That, obviously, represents mostly restored vehicles.
