Just because it has a salvage title, doesn't mean it is junk. When I worked at the body shop, during slow times we would buy a wreck and rebuild it.
They would have a salvage title, but the repairs would be done with great care and precision. They needed to be inspected by the DMV before the title could be transferred. I built several of my cars that way and I wouldn't worry about a car with a salvage title. I would just spend extra time inspecting it before buying.
This car may have been rebuilt years ago and the hood is simply new damage.
A salvage title is just a legal disclosure that the car has been in a serious accident and that the buyer should be aware of it.
There are lots of cars on the road with salvage titles.
