Here in California, I have asked about this several times, and have always
been told that once a vehicle has been "salvaged", there is no legal way of
ever registering it again.  Such a shame, too, because there are so many
rust free vehicles that end up in the junkyard because their owner abandoned
them or something was wrong with the engine.  *sigh*
