I bought something like that once . I wasnt happy when I found out the true history, in the form of "slight frame damage" which you said this one has.
The damage you have described obviously is in excess of the amount required by law to disclose. You yourself have stated it is "obviously totaled".
You are treading on tricky ground here . Say the new owner somehow through the VIN or a friend one day reads these posts and takes it to law enforcement after you have had it repaired and passed it off with a clean bill of health. Be a shame for Johnny Law to come calling because some guy that just dropped most of his 401K on his dream car finds out he bought a salvage car with a clean title.. . If the new owner took it to the cops, Youve already established enough for the state to rest on , with this thread alone.
I see 2 viable options here. Sell As-Is. The other and best option is to document every repair with photographs and reciepts , then sell. You dont have to worry about the law , or Karma , both of which can be a bitch...
