Hello,

Can a "salvage" title be converted to "clean". [CA]

I have a 59'type-1 that apparently got totaled
somehow, As it says salvage on the pink slip [CA]. I
bought it from the um-teenth owner and stripped it
down and rebuilt just about everything. it's pretty
tippy top for a poor boy's 59'.

any-hoots, now I own a westy and must part ways with
my bug. [interested p-mail me]

So can it be re-assessd to be "clean"? anyone know?
does it matter? I'm not sure it does, just wondering.
mabey it's a state by state thing?
