Oreion Motors "Reeper"

Anyone seen these? There's a dealer in Sealy, TX (just outside Houston) about 3 hours east of where I live that sells 'em.

42mpg off-road side-by-side

Street Legal though...

How is it street legal without airbags? Or 5 mph bumpers?
Ad says off-road use only..
These are standards that must be met for the Reeper to be street legal.

Looks like fun though, maybe a great golf cart. Yours for $14,000

You can get it as a Hummer too.

It has a VIN number.

California may be a little more strict, but this particular dealership said they can get it registered with the Texas DMV.

Maybe because it's such a low-volume vehicle that it can somehow get an exemption?

The Reeper will need one of these stickers on the driver's door jamb to be street legal. If the Reeper has a decal like this, you are good.
I would not believe what a dealership tells you.
The new COPO Camaro discussed in other areas of this forum does not have this decal but it does have a VIN.
