Ok so i got a few questions. I found a 65 Ford falcon 6 cylinder with 3 on the tree, really good condition no rust, runs good. Only problem is that is has a salvage title. Now before anyone says don't buy it. The only reason why it's salvage is because the front grill got smashed in, and a headlight got busted. No frame damage whatsoever. What are the downsides to having a salvage title car? I.e. more expensive insurance, harder to register. It's already got a California title. I have just never owned a salvage title car, and am not sure what all needs to be done, and what to be aware of when buying a car like that. Any response is appreciated.
