This is what I was looking for. Looks like they took an existing Esky--started out as a stocker. Thx @Doubeleive.

Meh. Somebody with an '07 Escalade that doesn't live in a repressive state buy it, swap the VIN plates and stickers and go have fun. In Louisiana, some restrictions are lifted on vehicles over 10 years old. Odometer can be exempt and a reconstructed title can more easily be "washed clean". I'm sure there are loopholes where an altered VIN plate can be slipped through. Alabama is even more lax. You practically can trade vehicles by signing a Bill of Sale and giving a firm handshake with eye contact to make it official.

Curious as to why it's not street legal?

Probably hasn't been crash certified--or for emissions.
Because it's a pre-production or experimental vehicle. Note the VIN ending in EX. I'm surprised it wasn't crushed. Whomever bought it from GM must have been friends with someone.

Who's going to notice it's an off-road vehicle?
IMO , a vin # means it can be registered. (?) Or no vin would be attached.
Back in the late '70's in Sonoma, Calif., ( Bondurant Racing School) we had to crush 25 Datsun 240Z's due to no vins.... Some could be sold that would only be raced due to no vins.
But the few others, Datsun gave us 240's with vins ( non public production ) .. Could be registered.
( We secured sponsorship for the Ford Mustang as cars at the school)

Just because a vehicle has a vin it doesn't mean it can be registered.
A lot of track only race cars have VINs, and there's no way to register them.

It's only illegal if you get caught, but that Escalade isn't worth that. Part it out.

Could you just switch all the good parts over to an existing Escalade?

If you know what a 1966 Lola T70 Mk 3B is,...... Back in 1975, a neighbor brought from England, one of very few 'street-version' Lolas. It was a full race car, with little bulbs in the headlight housing and behind, working turn signals. Mufflers.... He could not register it for the street.
So he bought an American made Kit Car version & used the vin for the real car.
We went 160 mph on the 101 freeway.....
