My summary is found within Evan's response. Joe's Garage has (if he really does) a kit car - a pile of pieces and parts arrive in boxes and are assembled by the owner. Some are beautiful, some look awful.
Kirkham, Shelby, Superformance (and occasionally, Backdraft and Factory Five and ERA and others) produce "finished rollers" - the only missing parts are the engines and that is mandated by the Feds in the US. I don't call those a kit.
My car, being sent to Mexico, was a fully completed with engine car, finished by HST in Mexico. It was not a kit.
There is legislation pending that will allow classic vehicles (Cobras, among others) to be fully finished by the manufacturer. Under that legislation Shelby, Kirkham, Superformance, ERA etc COULD build a completed vehicle, engine and all. [This has been discussed elsewhere, but so far none of the above have indicated they will be doing so if the legislation passes.] What are you going to call those?
Bottom line, is you are choosing one definition of "kit" that proves your point, I'm using another.
