I have see older replicas registered as 1950s Porsches. The DMV guy sees Porsche badges on it and registers it as a Porsche.
That has all changed in California. Now kit cars are registered as special construction. There is a lottery and I think only 2,500 can be registered a year. Some people first register them in another state and then bring them to California.
Or, something like that. My Boxster/Beck friend says it is a real pain.
