I am glad things are working out for you. As far as a salvage title, I dont think I would willingly buy a car with one, however as has been stated I would surmise about 90% of old cars have been thoroughly rebuilt enough (mine included) to warrant a salvage title. My only problem with having one would not be in buying or owning as much as resale.

Brent, I understand your philosophy on being under insured but I could probably find a dozen decent tudors for less than $20k. I would think it would be hard to justify to the insurance a $40k value. Yes the rebuild cost is high but we all know that is a losing proposition with an old car. The idea of the insurance is to make you whole. If that is giving you agreed value and someone needs to take the money and buy a replacement car then they are whole.
