A significantly modified vehicle must be titled with a new title in the year it was finished.  The car can not be titled with what matches the original body.  So a 1931 model A coupe with a 61 chevy engine, a mustang II front end and a Jag rear can not be titled as a 1931 Model A.  It is no longer the original car, it is a new one off car.  A car that is not legally titled is also not legally registered.  A car that is not legally registered and not legally titled is not insurable.  The insureance company may decide they do not want to pay for your accident and use the fact the car is not legal as the reason to not pay.
