If you are asking if a vehicle that has been totaled and is in a salvage yard can be repaired and put back on the road, the answer is yes. Each state has their own rules on the process. Contact you state Motor Vehicle Dept for details on how to accomplish this.

Can you put full coverage insurance on a car with a salvage title car in Minnesota?
On every auto application, there is a question will ask: "Does the vehicle have a salvaged or branded title?" If this is the case, you will not be able to put full coverage, (comprehensive and collision coverage) on the vehicle. Sometime you can get special exceptions from your insurance carrier to get the full coverage put on if all damage was repaired. It is much harder to get full coverage on a salvaged title vehicle.
Is it hard to get an auto with a salvaged title to go back on the road?
No, not at all. The reason they put salvage on a title is to let future buyers know that the vehicle was previously involved in an accident. If it were demolished, you should only get a "certificate of demolished vehicle" instead of a title, then you wouldn't be able to put it back on the rod.
My car was totaled. it already has a salvaged title. what will the insurance pay?
It depends on many aspects, however since it already has a salvaged total it will be significantly lessened than if it didn't already have a salvaged title. Your insurance company should be able to give you specifics as to why they are offering what they do.
How do you get a title on a car that written off as a total loss?
You should be able to apply for a salvaged title at your state's department of motor vehicles (DMV) or you can ask where automotive title work is done they should be able to point you in the right direction. However, laws are different from state to state and many states have strict laws on putting a totaled or total loss vehicle back on the road so do your homework before putting any money into the vehicle until you know the title can be obtained.
Can you buy a salvage car for personal use?
Yes you can, as long as the vehicle has been rebuild, and fit for road operation. Salvaged vehicle generally is cheaper than normal none branded vehicle. If you can get a good deal on a salvaged vehicle, just make sure take into consideration you will most likely not been able to sell it to anyone else.
Can you change a reconstructed title back to normal title after repairs to vehicle?
If you find a state that does not have reconstructed titles, and register the vehicle there, you may be able to do it.
Should you buy a car with a salvaged title that is now repaired?
It depends on: who rebuilt/repaired the vehicle, what was wrong with it that required it to be rebuilt, whether it's valuable enough to overlook some potential problems and whether you'll be able to cover the entire cost since banks don't like to loan on a slavaged title. Salvaged titled vehicles tend to have mechanical problems and you'll need to put some money aside to pay for the little things that go wrong.
Can your insurance company give you only half of the car's value because it had previously been totaled but repaired by collision specialists and inspected by the police?
Most auto insurance policy underwriting guidelines specifically exclude comprehensive and collision coverage from a salvaged vehicle. Many will also not even offer liability insurance if they are aware that the vehicle has been totaled and then salvaged. This is because Salvaged vehicles statistically have more operational failures than a vehicle that hasnot been totaled out. Many of these failures occur while on the road resulting in far more accidents. Failure to disclose the salvage nature at policy inception can be construed as deceipt on the part of the insured. If the company pays half the price then you should consider yourself lucky because it probably is actually worth much less. A vehicle that has a "salvage" title is not as valuable as a "clean" title. If the vehicle has been totalled before and you did not receive a salvage title and were not informed in writing that the vehicle had been totalled, you may be able to sue the company that sold the vehicle to you. Caveat Emptor is a good phrase to learn. It's Latin and means roughly, "let the buyer beware". If you were informed that the vehicle had been totalled and they showed you the documentation and gave you a salvaged title, it means that you bought the vehicle for less than full price because of the fault. The insurance company is certainly within their rights to offer you considerably less than full book value for the vehicle.

I assume you are talking about a vehicle that was totaled. Depending on your state's laws, you may be able to get something like a salvage title or similar.

This can be fine for a project car or a personal vehicle but will decrease its value for resale.
