In Georgia a 'special build' or "reconstructed" or "assembled vehicle" title would have to have 2 state inspections (along with a small mountain of paper work). And get this, you cannot drive the car to the inspection station, you have to have it towed. I can tell you first hand, the Georgia version fits the typical DMV stereotype. Better be patient. I had a pretty SAS that I was considering, but after talking with these guys, passed on the hassle. (Probably a blessing anyway, because I got the clear titled IM instead.)
Other states it could be a different story. I hope it is.
I think Troy nailed it, hopefully a guy in Texas will score this car. But at the right price, it might be worth a few hoops to jump through for someone from the other 49 states. .
Good luck with it.
