I believe once a car is a member of the salvage yard its title is a salvage title.

It has 1.7/1.8 HEs.
Half of the Monza muffler is in the front trunk. Has rear swaybar and shock bolts with swaybar connecting balls. |

Vin was outside of the LE range. VIN 4742917508. It was at Pick n Pull in Newark. The front seat from the car will now live on in my car. It was in perfect shape.
