Hi Micha,
I don't think that is necessarily true? Can you give an example where a JBA Falcon has to be 'intensively modified' to to meet the IVA requirements?
Traditional sports cars designs such as the Marlin Cabrio and the Marlin Sportster have all passed the IVA tests, so I cant really see without some checking a JBA falcon cannot?
There is even a nice write up of one builders experience passing his SVA test in 2002.

The IVA test is slightly different in detail but fundamentally the same test.
Of course, you should always fully asses the cost of finishing an unfinished kit car because often people selling unfinished cars are asking far too much money and as you say it is often cheaper to buy a finished registered car.
But there are bargains to be had if you shop carefully
