Allan, nearly anything that rolls is legal in this state. As a matter of fact they did away with the yearly mandatory inspection about 8 years ago. So there are no inspections or emissions checks at all anymore. I have seen a few V8 blown Anglias with wheelie bars as well. And yes, they are street legal.
If you re-visit the video, you can see the tag on the right rear fender. As in some states, front tags are not required here.
