Be careful - if you buy an out-of-state turn key vehicle it will probably never be registered as a special construction vehicle. SPCN can not be built for resale. If you cannot register these vehicles as a SPCN they can only be used off California roads- no highway driving. Easiest approach is to obtain the chassis from company A and have the engine installed by company B. Problems arise where one company does both. They could be considered a vehicle manufacturer and more importantly your vehicle was built for purpose of resale. Make sure you do your homework
