Under some circumstances here in Indiana a car with a salvage title can be retitled with a clear title after repair, I am pretty sure.

My favorite machinist bought a 90 something 300se which had hit a rock and ruined the motor and replaced the motor and then got the title back to a non salvage title and sold it along.

That car was surprisingly quick with the little six.
