In the mid 1980's I imported 2 used Mercedes-Benz "Grey Cars" to the United States . It was quite a hassle and I had to have them completely rebuilt to US DOT standards and Pass EPA tests, no easy task with tons of paperwork. I was "assigned" a VIN Number and had a plate riveted to the door jamb listing my name as the manufacturer/importer, and the date of manufacture (a date pulled out of the air). I could have called it a 1986 Smithmobile, since it was classified as "Other" category by the State of New Hampshire, not unlike an experimental aircraft I imagine. Years ago a friend who needed a title for an Amphicar in Michigan went through the same problems ....My point Where there is a will there is a way, and a legal way, I am sure. Keep looking.
