The insurance company can be told that the vehicle to be insured is a new Land Cruiser and no more. Most I've ever had an insurance company do (on a used car) is to take a picture of the vehicle. None have ever asked to look under the hood.

A friend of mine imported a Deux Chevaux about 20 years ago and Federalized it. He had to make and install side-door beams and lots of irritating stuff like that. It was a long project but he did eventually get it done. I don't know whether that could be done today -- retrofitting air bags doesn't sound like a DIY job.
