My dad was an auto body man who paid for private schooling by purchasing salvaged titles (cars the insurance company couldn't afford to fix), salvaged parts, fixed and resold them with a clear title.

How'd you get the salvage title changed to a clean one? I didn't think a state would do that.

I have fixed and sold numerous cars and Jeeps that once had salvage titles over the last 30 years. The key to getting a salvage title changed to a “Clear” title was, it had to be inspected by a county sheriff’s deputy. I lived in Charlevoix, Mi. for over 30 years, and the sheriff had a deputy who inspected all of my restored Jeeps prior to issuing a document to the State of Michigan attesting to the the VIN being correct for the vehicle, the vehicle having the proper equipment,(turn signals, brake lights, etc.), and being safe for road use. After all said paperwork was completed, a “Clear” title was issued by the state, and I could proceed with the sale of said vehicle. I hope this helps any of you “Salvage Guys” out there in Freeperland.

This was in Ohio in the early 90s. At first he had a heck of a time with the ladies at the title bureau, but once they got to know him, it wasn’t a problem at all.
