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?

You answered your own question;

Because it is a ROLLER. A chassis and body with suspension and no "Power Train". Hence, a "Kit Car". It would have to be completed by the buyer, not the manufacture of the roller chassis.

The law allows an individual to build a certain number of "Kit Cars" per year. I believe CA allows you 3 (IIRC, it could be 1 <?shrug?>).

If Shelby completes the car it is a VEHICLE, not a ROLLER. It would need to meet all emission and safety standards for the year it was produced (i.e. COMPLETED).

Apples and Oranges...
