Buy/import it sans motor (chassis w/parts or just parts) put in a supercharged Honda motor in it and enjoy your specialty vehicle! There are a million kit cars on the road legally. There are a significant number of car registered this way and not a one has had an issue that I have discovered in the two years looking into this prior to purchasing a s1 chassis to do the same thing. A guy in FL got in trouble years ago but he did not go through the steps required (imported standard cars) and thus an accident exposed his error. Another guy had to sell his converted car that was imported by a Mircosoft executive on a limited permit. This was converted to Honda power but again he screwed up buying a complete car with a vin that was imported for a limited duration. The process is very similar (not the same) to how Noble etc are able to sell cars as rolling chassis w/o motors. Sun International did it for years but they were licensed to give the cars a new vin if necessary and there are other companies that can do the same thing. Go through these steps, document everything and talk to those who have done it and enjoy your car. Seriously, look at all the siht on the road with registrations. Are the secret police going to start rounding up the dune buggies and start crushing them?
