In some states it can be legal as long as two things happen:

1. Local Police are notified that the car in question is a rebody (the one you created with a donor car) and you have to have both titles (clear - no Salvage titles): The "car" with the docs and the donor car. This results in the Police "destroying" the VIN of the donor car with the DMV.

2. Should you sell the restored car you must notify the purchaser that the car has had a rebody. Failure to do so can negate the sales contract along with additional legal headaches for the seller.

And in some states it is illegal. It is best to contact the DMV in your state BEFORE you bought a "car" like this Camaro and discuss it with them to see what the law allows.
