I got lost somewhere in the slide from registration of a car that was assembled by legally distinct parties to a car that will be difficult to register because it is a 'turn-key'.

Is the problem here the fact the purchaser will have title to a running car that, for purposes of the law, was never identified as having a chassis and body seperate from the engine and drivetrain needed for it to be made complete? Had the seller registered the car he competed, providing the DMV with the requisite receipts, would the pending sale be just another private party sell of a used car?
