street legal ?

[kakaka]

the car is built to be a race car, it has a roll cage. my mechanic friend told me about it, his boss is selling it, however my friend says its not legal to drive. i still haven't gone to look at it in person yet, and find out for sure whats under the hood, but i'm not real worried about someone buying it.

as i said, i am new to the world of classic cars. would it be a mistake to buy this car and turn it into a daily driver? the price seems low - 6k for a 10second car. only thing it needs is a new fuel line.

thanks for the help
