I've owned 2 salvage/rebuilt cars and insurance has never been an issue.
In my 3 years selling vehicles, I sold dozens and never heard of any issues insuring them. The dealership I worked for "specialized" in rebuilding GM pickups and SUVs (and a few cars). I sold vehicles with salvage titles, or in Michigan at the time "This Vehicle was Previously Issued a Salvage Title" vehicles. Financing was sometimes an issue. Insurance never was. I had a Pontiac 6000 that was T-boned and got a donor roof panel and doors from a Buick Century. I also had a GMC S-15 Jimmy that was stolen, stripped and recovered.
The 6000 was running fine when I traded it in for something newer. It had about 120,000 miles at the time. I ran the Jimmy until it had 188,000 miles, then sold it and I saw it around for a few years after. I loved that Jimmy.
...but apropos of recent events, every once in a while we would try to get a flood car right...never really could, so they would remain shop vehicles. Everything could get sorted out except the electrics and electronics.
