If you a building a "new" Manx from scratch, using no VW parts (ie: no VW VIN), then you would be building a "Specially Constructed Vehicle", eligible for SB100 Smog Exemption, based up on the year that body represents (just like a building a new Cobra Replica).

I guess the question in the buggy world, is your first point....if the only thing left is a VW tunnel, or small piece of the tunnel with the original VIN, is the Manx Buggy legally titled when the Reg says 1963 VW Beetle? I really don't know and it's part of the reason I am here. (20x-30x? as many Cobras on the road as Manx's, so larger knowledge base)
I am also here for guidance on the second point. While Cobras were sold as a production car in the US, Manx buggies were not. So how do we get the SB100 referenced to the year the body represents (our desired outcome) vs the much newer honda, subaru or LS engine that is installed?
Thx for taking the time to reply.
