Default Salvage Title?

Hey guys. You may remember my wreck a couple months ago. I am thinking about going to auction and buying it back. I was wondering does a salvage title hurt a classic really bad?

i would buy it back as long as it go cheap like 1000 or less u can clip a car if u know how to weld it wouldnt be that hard to drill all the spot welds off the aprons and fram rails and weld a new one on. the hardest thing would be lining it back up

If you have a ton of good parts on that car I sould say buy it back and use it as a parts car to rebuild another one. If insurance paid off on the car they will give you the option to keep the car and they reduce the pay off amount. If you really wanted it I would say that would have been your better option.
