    Supercharged LSA in a '55 body, “modern chassis,” and a Nevada title. Handy, that last bit. Nevada will title a pile of tubing as a 1955 anything. Where’s the dyno sheet, the build receipts, the frame photos, the VIN stamp close-ups? Without those it’s not a Cadillac with an engine swap. It’s an engine swap wearing a Cadillac’s name tag.

    556 bhp, 551 lb-ft, and a Nevada title. Here’s the part nobody prints: in Britain a 1955 shell is tax-exempt, MOT-exempt, emissions-exempt. Forty years old and the rulebook just stops looking. So bolt a supercharged LSA into a two-tonne brick, burn 12 mpg, and pay the Treasury nothing. Another loophole with chrome.
