Dude, you're crazy.
But yeah, it does vary state to state, so I don't know the rules in your neck of the woods.
Once, I'd actually thought of buying a Ford Ka, shipping it here in pieces, and then reassembling it and putting on the VIN of a wrecked Ford Festiva and registering it as a salvage title Festiva.
Would have been fun, but in the end it would have been a lot more hassle than it'd have been worth.
