    Someone told me that you can register in a state that doesn't have rebuilt titles and then transfer back and you can get a clean title, but this is just hearsay, I have no proof that this would work.
    Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...

    True, it will still be a salvaged title in GA. Not sure about SC (I would have to look at work) but I know in AL you would only be able to sell the vehicle for parts as you are not able to get a salvaged title...stupid rule I know. Unless you know somebody in Kentucky, you will not able to "wash" that title clean of the salvage branding.

    Even if you do this, the vin number will still plainly show the old salvage title and only an idiot who does no research (meaning not even doing a FREE carfax) would buy it as clean. Oh, and if they wise up later on you're looking at jail time for: Fraud, Theft by Deception, Felony Deception, and god knows what else, plus probably Mail fraud and Wire fraud if they can find some way to do it. People who get caught "washing" titles typically get the book thrown at them by the courts because if you get caught once, they will assume you've done it a few times. All-in-all, good luck with that there. It's less risk to just buy a clean-title shell with a straight frame and start swapping parts over. Saves time on repairing frame damage too.
