Walk away from this one as you will have a difficult time to say the least in titling the car without the kits original MCO (manufacturers certificate of origin).

Sounds a bit "hokey" to me, have never heard of a manufacturer offering the chassis as "an option". Sounds to me more like an original owner who thought he could scratch build a car, got in over his head, then bailed on the project. As each owner buys what they believe is "the deal of a lifetime", they soon realize their mistake and attempt to pawn it off on the next unsuspecting buyer.
