Yes, it's good to know.

You are pretty much missing the point here. There are so few '74s on the market at any given time, with demand probably at an all-time high, on Matt's car a salvage brand would mean nothing - or close to nothing.

As long as there are non salvage cars out there, their S titled brethren will take a valuation hit.

I think it's hilarious that a branded Salvage classic car when there are so few of them around, and if inspected correctly (ie. California, where I lived for a major part of my life threw a Salvage brand on everything that was stolen, joyrided, or had the vin removed, or a million other reasons where the car had NO physical damage at all) and I got some pretty good cars. Salvage doesn't mean the same from state-to-state.

I haven't seen a salvaged car on sale which includes the detailed record of what happened to it. So, the seller's word or the previous seller's word etc is the best you can go by. Who knows, happened a long time ago, blah blah.

How many '74 911s on sale right now in the entire world, as I write this, in the shape that Matt's car is in? A handful? 10? Yeah, I would buy Matt's car - and Techweenie would probably agree with me.

I believe there's no question the car would have cost more then and worth more now without the S title.
