I would try to avoid going with a salvage title, if at all possible. Putting a car with a salvage title back on the road here in PA results in a "reconstructed vehicle" title, which negatively impacts resale value.

Why not ask the previous owners to apply to the state DMV for a lost title? Not sure about KY, but it's a pretty simple form/process, here in PA. Even if you have to pay the state fee for replacing the lost title, yourself, it's probably a lot cheaper than playing the shell game advertised in hobby circles for vehicles with no title.
