Correct. Because they are
NOT "vehicles" however if sold completed they are. The sale is "into the first and normal commerce" so resale of a registered car is OK.
The definition is the key. Once it becomes a "vehicle" the seller must become a registered manufacturer and meet all standards unless the completion is by the chassis purchaser or party OTHER than the seller.
If you or another party (read "dealer") choose to accept a different interpertation, that is your right. My concern is that a buyer or potential buyer understands the risks in a "turn-key, one stop" purchase. It really sucks to go to the DMV and be turned down!
