I'm going to go with it means the car is literally "Junk"
I didn't think junk titled cars could be driven on the road or rebuilt. I know if a car gets a certificate of destruction it can NEVER be re-titled. I thought junk titles were similar.

Junk Title —
A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. The majority of states use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage.
