In most states, a salvage title must be issued for any vehicle that has been deemed "totaled" or involved in an accident, settled with an insurance claim and then purchased for rebuilding and restoring to make it road worthy again. Once a salvage title it should remain that way from state to state if sold somewhere else. I have seen a Michigan "clean" titled issued for a Missouri " salvaged" titled vehicle but I think our state department didin't catch it. Carfax and Autocheck reports do show the history of these type of vehicles and there are some that slip thru the cracks of our paperwork society.

If you purchase an auto with a salvage title does that mean the vehicle is no longer road worthy?
It does not mean that the auto is not road-worthy. What it does mean is that the auto has previously been in a wreck and considered totalled by the insurance company. Many times, an insurance company determines it is cheaper to "total" the auto than to pay the costs to repair it. Auto body and repair shops will scout around for later model autos that have been "totalled" and buy them to repair and re-sell. The shops will usually check and make sure that the frame is not bent and that most of the damage is just body damage. Because the auto has been previously "totalled", the title is issued as a salvage title.
