If we manufactured USDM/US legal engines and maybe transmissions in the US and brought Twingos over without engines and whatnot in them, could we label them as kit cars and legally assemble and sell them state side?

That's a really great idea, hopefully the legalities of it can be worked out.

pro and con sides are retarded and cherry picking.

the twingo is the 90's vw beetle.
literally all kinds of people drove/drive one.

like the beetle, it will also become a classic.
>>
Does someone actually know the legality of this? I really wanna know if this is feasible at all.
>>
>>15372855
I'm also interested in this

>>15370488

This would be legal, with restrictions:

IIRC you could only do 50 per year as a kit car manufacturer.
You'd have to be both a licensed importer and licensed kit car manufacturer.
The drivetrains would have to meet emissions for the year/make/model they were out of... unless they were brand-new engines of your own design, then they'd have to meet current year emissions.

Speedo would have to be converted to MPH.

>have to meet emissions

As an Europoor I always find this baffling.

How can Burgers drive the biggest V8 monsters as a daily, trucks that literally puke out pitch black clouds and still be totally anal with their emission faggotry?

Rolling coal is an EPA violation and you can get pulled over and get ticketed for it. In states that do emissions they can do a roadside emissions test of your vehicle and if it fails your vehicle has to get towed.

However, many states (like mine) don't do emissions or safety inspections. So the vehicle would have to meed emissions to be sold, but afterwards you could immediately remove all of that.
