if the car is titled in your fathers name, you should have no problems getting the loan, if your credit permits of course. the salvage title is permanent, and decreases the value of the car. the bank will most likely give you/offer what they think the car is worth, different banks use different sources, blue book NADA etc.... your best bet would be to call a few banks, and ask them what the loan value of the car is to them, and if the salvage title has any affect on it.
