Does anyone have experience with salvage titled and repaired vehicles or is this one to just steer clear of?
My search has been narrowed down to three and this is one of the candidates and I'm looking at it in person in a week.
Thanks!

I've seen this car in person a number of times. It is spectacular. Better than new - really. If a salvage title stops you from buying it because of insurance or state regs - well so be it.
But, the car as it exists today - is a work of art. The seller is a very talented craftsman, and drove this car for at least a year as his own. This isn't a slap together, put her back, paint and flip sort of deal. The car is better than new after a lengthy and very expensive restoration by (again) a very talented individual - as you will see.
But, if the salvage title holds thing up..it is what it is. If not, the price is within reason for the quality of work this car includes.
