How can this car be titled if there is no engine/trans?

Titled as 1965 Shelby Cobra

Quote from original post:
"Drive train installation is done at the sole discretion of the customer. To comply with U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Planet Cobra sells components only to retail customers, and not a complete automobile. Stephen Becker Automotive Group is not involved in, or party to, the assembly of the vehicle, or installation of the drive train. Customers are free to complete the assembly and install their own drive train, or may contract with any party of their choosing to do so, with the exception of Stephen Becker Automotive Group DBA Planet Cobra "

Quotes from the Planet Cobra website:
"Every Cobra has a correct date-coded engine block or aluminum Shelby engine"
" In fact, our turn-key operation makes it easier than ever for you to own an original Shelby Cobra CSX4000 with the options you want!"
"When the component body arrives at Planet Cobra from the Shelby Factory, our world-class technicians go to work to breathe life into your Cobra with the high performance engine/drivetrain of your choice."

Something doesn't add up.

I suspect the web site is old, and maybe Stephen will pipe in here but there is an indication that the California SB100 rule enforcers are no longer allowing even a division of a seller to do the power train install, and that seems to be what the disclaimer in the post is complying with.

I guess this implies there are replica CSX4000 series cars.

It beats me how a brand new car can be titled as a 1965 car
