Kevin, it's probably illegal. You might want to check with a lawyer.
But is it done? Yes, frequently. Talk to the Street Rod people. Ever seen
a "brand new" plastic '32 Ford Roadster? There is a good chance it will be
titled as a 1932 Ford, even if NONE of the parts came from the original car.
If you bought a new Heritage Shell for your car today would it have to be
re-titled as a 1998 MGB? If the only original item left on my 1969 is the
body what year is it?
I don't think the answers are very clear, and I suspect that whether it is
legal or not gets a bit muddied too.
