A good general definition for a rebuilt title (used by CarFax and others) is:
A "rebuilt title" is placed upon a rebuilt or reconstructed vehicle that previously was a salvage vehicle but has now been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt, and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road.
Normally, a car becomes a salvage vehicle after an insurance company has declared it to be a total loss after an auto accident. It then can be sold ("AS IS") to an automobile rebuilder to be used either for parts or to be restored ("rebuilt").
In general, a salvage vehicle cannot be driven on the highways or have a valid license plate. A salvage vehicle must be repaired (if that is possible) to become a rebuilt, roadworthy vehicle.
Guidelines for rebuilt vehicles vary
If the vehicle is restored, in many states it must be inspected and ultimately a "rebuilt title" can be issued for the vehicle from the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). A reconstructed vehicle with a rebuilt title CAN be driven on the highways. The guidelines for getting a rebuilt title vary by state.
For example, the state of Florida requires a vehicle to have a salvage title if the insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss. These titles generally indicate whether the vehicle is "rebuildable" (can be repaired and driven) or "not rebuildable" (must be sold for parts).
In some other states, they “brand” or mark the vehicle's title when the estimate of damages reaches a certain percentage of the vehicle's retail value (New York and Louisiana, designate it at 75 percent).
The rules can be complex for rebuilt and salvage vehicles. For example, the Georgia Department of Revenue notes that anyone who purchases a salvage or wrecked motor vehicle for the purpose of restoring or rebuilding it must be licensed as a rebuilder.
In Nevada, vehicles that have had certain repairs must be titled as rebuilt even if they don’t meet the definition of a salvage vehicle. This applies to any vehicle that has had one or more of the following major components replaced:
Cowl assembly
Rear clip assembly
Roof assembly
Floor pan assembly
Conventional frame coupled with one additional major component
Complete front inner structure for a unibody
Before purchasing a rebuilt vehicle, it should be thoroughly checked out by your own mechanic. You also should check to see if the car can be insured with your current insurer since their underwriting rules may not allow them to write policies for cars with salvage or rebuilt titles.
Many auto insurance carriers simply don’t offer policies for rebuilt cars. Or, if a policy is offered, it may be only for liability and not all types of car insurance -- such as collision and comprehensive coverages --because it’s too hard to determine a rebuilt car’s true value.
If you purchase a vehicle with a rebuilt title you’ll have to shop around and compare car insurance rates to find the right car insurance company for your needs. Look for insurers, such as Progressive, that allow full coverage on cars with branded titles.

Can't recall if this one has made the rounds. Decent build, decent price at $68,887.00, <20k miles. Thoughts?

Fairly close to me as well (~600 miles), if it was a manual I might make an offer on it.
