I am sure that the GS would have further rego issues being that it is not secure at all, but that is only a guess.
The rumour going around a while ago was that they would be flying off the shelf at around 3k a piece, and at that I would have had a GS as a camping, fishing, shooting truck.
They are so damn simple to work on, bloody awesome in the bush for the lack of lockers or LSD, articulate like a male dog and will never rust!
For the money they are going for on Greys and as a first car I would steer clear, mainly because of the issues involved in registering one and keeping it insured.
It would be a cool car as a toy though, if you could make a roster for mates to come for a spin as they only have two legal seats on public roads.
If you want a challenge and decide to go in for a GS variant, go for the FFR. They have extra batteries already just waiting to be hooked up, if not use the compartments for storage. They also have steel "seats" in the rear that would be the perfect base for a false floor.
Look for low kms on the odometer as they are zeroed every time the vehicle is completely rebuilt and a green sticker on the windscreen, a yellow sticker isn't a bad thing depending what it is for, the explanation is always on the sticker and in the GM120(log book).
