My guess is no. The DMV could probably tell you based on the VIN. A loophole might be the homebuilt car registration. Do a bunch of ecomods and claim you built the whole thing!

I'd just check on the smart car forum. It's out there somewhere.

Nice find... I think it should be alright. Diesel cars cannot be sold new in NY, but I see NY registered TDi's driving around every once and a while. If this is the case, I don't see why you couldn't do it - we've already got gasser smart cars.

This seemed like a valuable resource for your situation.
