So to follow the progressions, other jurisdictions may not have the restriction that CA places on the power train/vehicle assembly. Others besides CA do as well. However, said vehicle will also likely never be licensable in those places that do place restrictions. That was as far as I went since I could sense it was sensitive topic. I'll wager with pretty high odds that vehicles will find their way on the streets in some places. I can pretty much guess at places I wouldn't even try and I can also guess a few places where you might have a shot. But if you want a guarantee, buy a muffler.

The Shelby/Trust/Denbeste/Kirkham and Shelby/Trust/Denbeste/Serb operation is NOT for a "for private use" only type operation. They plan to build and sell 30-40 cars. That's a real manufacturing operation with Shelby, DenBeste, Kirkham and Serb being for-profit operations. And just because a non-profit trust happens to be the seller, that's not going to change the character of this manufacturing operation. Shelby/Trust/Denbeste/Kirkham/Serb is NOT the same thing as me, private Schmoe individual, hiring and contracting with an installer, say like Hall Fabrication. I chose Hall Fab in Benicia. ME. I purchased the engine and trans. Shelby/Trust/DenBeste are completely directing the purchasing and installation of the car and materials. The ultimate buyer has no say about the builder/installer. The buyer's only say is the options he or she wants. That sounds like Ford, Chevy and Chrysler to me.
