Right now there is a 205 on ebay for sale in California. To be frank, im not trying to incite a debate on legalities but instead would like to know, who would jump the gun and try to buy this thing?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Celi...c#ht_506wt_1165 Its vin-swapped, the real deal, and supposedly clean as a whistle....Personally i wouldnt but it, but im sure some of you on this site would. -------------------- (\__/)

I live in a part of the country that absolutely does not care. I could drive around in a real 205 and insure it full coverage and never have any issues. I'd have to have a scrap Celica for title issues, but the worst case scenario would be if a cop pulled me over and he felt stupid for walking to the wrong side of the car. I'd be in for some tickets since he'd be taking his embarrassment out on me but they never check VINs here, no inspections, no anything. Even if I wrecked the car and let the insurance company have it, the only thing they care about is picking up a wrecked Celica. They don't care how many wheels get power, what engine is in it, etc. So if I had the cash, I wouldn't hesitate to pick that car up but I'm in a fortunate situation to be able to drive it around without worries.
