Where would this VIN be? Maybe I gave the wrong number to the insurance places?
I did have to do the state police inspection but I don't remember getting a new title

I wouldn't do it unless you know the guy who salvaged it and you're talented yourself with vehicles.

If the frame was not damaged you should not have a problem.

Ah, the only other problem is the paint has started peeling on the hood so I need to get it repainted. The rest of it is fine so I assume he used cheaper paint than Cadillac

Who gives you that? I didn't get one
Maybe they changed it in the last 4-5 years?

Last car was salvage title. Bought damaged at auction n family friend fixed. No issues with bank, registering or selling it. VW took it as a trade in for my new jetta. No issues at all.

Yes as long as I knew the shop that rebuilt it.

First off, I've never ever heard of new VINS being issued. There are multiple places where the VIN is stamped on a vehicle so there is almost no way to change them all. You can still wash a title, people do that all the time.
Secondly, if you insure a salvage vehicle with any insurance company and you total it or wreck it they absolutely will not may FMV. Good luck getting any kind of decent payback from them. Generally, you can get liability b/c they aren't insuring the vehicle anyway.
Lastly, if I rebuilt the total it would be outstanding and I am sure some other rebuilders do good work. That said, most rebuilders are pretty sketchy, from my experience.

Man I didn't mean for y'all to get in a pissing match.. I appreciate all the answers I'm just gonna pass and keep looking..

I have two with blue titles (salvage title in Texas) I bought them Wrecked and fixed them both had frame damage pulled em both straight replaced whatever body panels needed and painted both. They each are still on the road today both are fully insured and haven't had a problem out of either other than normal wear and tear. If you ever plan on selling it it'll have to be private sale because a dealership won't give you squat for it but there's nothing wrong with a rebuilt vehicle if it was done correctly.

Hell, the old days of doing VIN-arectomies were long gone, I thought?

Once they started putting the VIN on the seat rails, it was a done deal.
