No offense but if he wants to avoid the emissions 100% (completely exempt) there are still thousands of downright antique lightweight car shells around that are probably possible to buy for a song, from yugos, Subaru 360's (900lbs), really any Honda made prior to 1986, 2cv's, Toyotas/Mazdas/Datsuns prior to 1980, Chevy Chevettes, Lincoln Linx and clones, Fiestas prior to 89, Various Chevy Sprints, Metros, Suzikis, etc ,etc not all are very aero but all are quite light. Subaru 360 shells can literally be had under $1k and they are the lightest, mod drivetrain and rearend and they would likely beat anything on the road.
