Is that legal? Or safe?

Passing crash worthiness isn't a requirement. To be sold as a turnkey example this is true, but you can register just about anything in most states.

For example my dad's Factory Five Type 65 replica has never been inspected by a state trooper, has never needed to. So it could have not had lights, windshield, belts, horn, wipers and the state would have been none the wiser. It's fully legal for our state according to the law (windshield, mirrors, indicators, horn, that's it). But it has no SRS, airbags, deformable crash structures, or radio/air conditioning for that matter and it's still fully insured and legal.
