These cars will NOT be 1965 cars, they will be 2015 cars, or whatever year they are COMPLETED in. Key Word: COMPLETED (in).
Carroll Shelby tried this before and if I remember right, was successful with completing/selling only a couple of them until the law stepped in and clarified the Year Model of them and he had to stop.
Safety standards alone would all but kill the car. Bumper height, headlight height, 5 mph bumpers, door bars, SRS/airbags, etc. etc. etc.
Then emission standards would finish the car off.

So then how do I buy a Superformance, Kirkham or whatever today as a roller and have it registered? People do it all the time.
In CA, we have the SB100 exclusion from all those pesky regulations.
I must be missing something. I get it if you have to buy the car turn-key which would kill the registration (at least in CA) but why not as a roller?
