Asking anyone with a long memory (over the last 40 years) how replica cars (actually assembled cars) started.
I remember people putting together slapdash cars in the Fifties to go ice fishing or dune running or other specialized purposes but then the next thing I knew there was VW dune buggies by the thousands. Somewhere along the way each state had a law allowing you to register an "assembled car" ? And I also am not aware of any group that wants to outlaw them. Maybe the ecologists don't even know they exist (I won't tell...)
