  • Are Stalkers street legal in the US? In order to comply with US federal regulations, all Stalker Cars products are manufactured as “kits.” The registration process varies state-to-state, and even county-to-county, but typically involves:
    • Having the vehicle inspected by a state authority to insure road worthiness and to verify the part numbers on the engine and chassis to insure that they are not from a stolen vehicle, sometimes called a “VIN” (vehicle identification number) inspection.
    • Paperwork from the VIN inspection, bill of sale and MSO (manufacture statement of origin, supplied by Stalker Cars) are turned into the local officials for inspection.
    • After the paper work comes back from the officials, the vehicle needs to be taken back to a state official to have a state assigned VIN attached.
    • The owner takes the paperwork to the DMV to complete the title and registration process as with a conventional car registration process.


    We highly recommend contacting your local DMV or state authorities to confirm the registration laws. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this process or if there is anything we can do to help verify the process in your area.
  • How do I order and what it the delivery time and cost? To place an order your sales representative will help you complete an order form. To confirm the order a 50% plus options non-refundable deposit is required. Lead time from deposit date to delivery varies depending on order numbers, but typically ranges from 3-8 weeks for a kit and 12 weeks for a built turnkey car.
  • How long will it take to build my stalker? Is it difficult? Building a stalker is straightforward and, providing you have some basic mechanical knowledge, requires no special skills. The time taken to complete the car depends on many factors such as experience, ability, and final quality. Most people spend between 150-200 hours to complete. The chassis is supplied fully welded with all crucial holes and mounting locations already attached. Help can always be found on our Stalker owner’s exclusive forum or from our customer service.

  • I want to use my own type of Engine/transmission, can I make it work? We feel the engines we offer are the best choices for power, cost, and reliability. We also recognize that there are many different power plants available that people become accustomed to. As long as an engine/transmission will physically fit inside the frame, we are willing to make engine/transmission mounts and headers for your engine. You must ship the engine/transmission bolted together with any external functions such as slave cylinders.  Or if you want to do this work yourself, we recommend the Level 2 kit.
  • Will I fit in a Stalker? The Stalker is indeed a small vehicle. However, you would be quite surprised see how comfortable the fit is and how tall of a driver can fit. Many drivers as tall as 6’4? can fit in a stalker. Fitment is largely due to a person’s body proportions. Two people the same height can fit very differently inside a car due to the waist down-waist up ratio. Larger drivers should look to the Stalker XL and custom height rollbars are also available. The chassis can accommodate drivers up to 6’ 7” depending on specification. Stalker Cars is not an importer or dealer of kits, we are the manufacturer. We can do many custom items to suit your needs, so just let us know your requirements.
