I'm not sure if all auto insurance agencies do. I know that All State did insure my 1991 Nissan Maxima, which had a salvage title. I suggest to shop around and see if they do and on what terms.

Some insurance companies will only insure for liability it is best to call your insurance compnay or to shop around. There is always alot of concerns when purchasing a car with a totaled or remanurfactured title. You should think lopng and hard before purchasing a car that has been totaled.

I drive a car with a reconstructed (salvaged) title, and my insurance company was willing to insure it for liability only. I wanted to put comprehensive coverage on it, but they said the value of a non-reconstruct of the same model was so low that the one I owned was not worth the added coverage. Essentially, they made it sound like they were doing me a favor by not taking my money. :-D

The willingness to cover probably varies by company, vehicle, and quality of restoration. If the company was willing to insure it (for collision/comprehensive), they undoubtedly would require an inspection of the vehicle prior to coverage.
