Totally depends on that state laws. Doesn’t PA require a regular inspection or something for registration? Salvage title vehicles usually have to be inspected more frequently in states that do inspections.
With a classic I wouldn’t be too concerned about the resale unless it was supposed to be some high end numbers matching resto deal. For a decent mid range car it won’t be a big hit, but for a high end collector it will drop that value. The higher the sale price of the car the more it will affect it.
The biggest concern for me would be all the hoops they make you jump through to get it registered. In California it’s not a big deal if it already has a salvage title, there’s an inspection to get it registered initially but after that it just carries the salvage title. But there’s no regular inspections here either.
Hard to say without pictures. But that’s exactly the kind of car that would be affected more by a salvage title. If the buyer cares about having a matching numbers 340 car then they’re going to care about the salvage title too.
