Per their site:
GUARANTEED
Full US Emissions Legal and Insured. For the last two years, Left Hand Utes has been importing Utes into the U.S. and converting them to LEFTHAND DRIVE!

THE CONVERSION
Our Left Hand Utes are converted by stripping the Ute to bare body. We replace the firewall and rebuild the car from components using all AMERICAN OEM parts from the Pontiac GTO, G8, or Chevy Caprice.

THE FINEST QUALITY
We DO NOT CHOP the front end of the Ute and replace it with another car. We feel there are serious structural issues in doing this and we do not want the liability in case of failure when welding 2 cars to make one car.

With our conversions, all the required safety features are working per factory specifications, such as, anti-lock brakes, seat belts and air bags. Our cars also meet USA requirements for emissions and anti-theft.

What about insurance?
Most of the utes we have converted get insurance through. places like Chrome, Grundy or Hagerty. They insure them like a kit car or hot rod.

At 60k we can get a freakin brand new awesome 4x4 Ford F-150!
A brand new VF UTE SSV would be about 90k to 150k for a Maloo R8 VF. You can't have an imported RHD that is 25 years young and keep RHD, the drive train has to be USA spec and so does the gas tank and head lights. If you buy a ute in Oz you need to prep it to ship remove all non DOT and EPA parts then put in a shipping bin and ship to Florida, that with Customs fees would average about 9k to your house, next you need to get a USA spec Holden to match the year of your Holden and of course needs to be V8, the average doner car is 6k to 9k. You have all the parts, now is the fun part. You need pull out all RHD parts or just gut the whole ute to the body, change and weld the firewall, then wiring, then gas tank, door latchs, mirrors, headlights, then install doner engine, and exhaust (ute's is longer). We at Left Hand Utes charge 20k for labor, that does not include paper work fees.

First off you buy a car the people that sell you the car do not have to insure. By the fact they are saying full U.S. Emissions legal and insured is marketing speak.
The car has to crash test safety tested at a D.O.T. facility then documentation is provided including D.O.T. stickers that go on the car. You see D.O.T. marks all over your car
because its manufactured to be sold here. I can gurantee that those UTE’s do not them and would have to run the stickers to be legal.

Second off Full U.S. emissions means it includes CARB That again is another cert process that done on a custom, basis like those is over 10k.
Same goes for the E.P.A. unless they are willing to provide cert paperwork they are blowing smoke up your ass and many of these types of business’s do. Many have been shut down while claiming the cars are legal. MotoRex got shutdown for not doing all the testing only doing the testing on a R33 GTST then trying to claim all Skylines and GTR’s were the same. They got away with it for about 7 years before finally getting caught.
Cars were sought out by the Government and crushed,
You can believe what they write I have seen too many companies travel this road and ultimately fail. I do not see them proving their claims and if you think it can be done you need to do more research. As what they wrote above is not proof its merely their word. lol.
