same thing has happened here.. vehicles that are donated to charity are
frequently given salvage titles..  owner doesn't want it, donates it, or
loses the title , or its part of an estate sale and PO is deceased,  anyway  so
it gets a salvage title.

states brand cars with salvage titles like hotcakes these days so a salvage
 title means nothing to me..  if the car is in good shape and you like it,
buy it.
