Not here in Texas. They usually go by the vin ID plate.

Lots of vintage/antique vehicles have had various parts replaced, modified and completely changed over in the past but as long as the vin ID plate is there that's what the vehicle is. Back in the 60's I had an old 56 Mercury I made into a beach buggy. I took all the sheet metal off and cut the front cab but left the windshield and front firewall. I also cut the frame by 32 inches and put a homemade bed on the back. It was still a 56 Mercury when I sold it.
