That would certainly be a hoot to set up for driving on the street!

Um, that's not a 1937 anything. It's a Legends race car with the top chopped. "Minor additions required to make it street legal" would include parking it and buying a different, street-legal, car.
In states with kit/replica/hotrod laws following the SEMA model, it shouldn't require anything more to title this as a 1937 Ford than a Locost as a 1958 Lotus 7...Or even a Factory Five Roadster as a 1965 Shelby Cobra.
All that effort and money could have been expended to make something that looks nice.
Instead we have that thing.
The camber on that reminds me of my matchboxes as a kid, after the axles bent and each wheel was pointed in a different direction.
It definitely looks like it has the potential to be fun, and would be unique. The negative I see is that $10k would give plenty of options that are already street legal and allows you to bring a friend along.
Where would a legend car be classed for scca auto x?
Normally Legends cars go to FMod, but in that configuration it would go to BMod.
In chopping the top off and removing the upper portion of the cage, they made it pretty much useless for anything other than trailering to static display events if not made street legal. So yeah, probably overpriced for the extremely small potential market. But I'd bet even most of the GRM anti-fun-patrol would think it was awesome if they actually saw one driving on the street, let alone had an opportunity to drive it themselves.
