I Bought a DESTROYED Porsche 911 Turbo At Copart & IT'S BAD..
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 гру 2022
- Today on Salvage Stories we bought ourselves a HORRIBLY wrecked 997 Porsche 911 Turbo for $30,000 from Copart Salvage Auction! While it may be just too far gone to rebuild, that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of money to be made and parts to be salvaged!
With the legendary Metzger engine, carbon ceramic brakes and plenty of other hard to find Porsche 911 Turbo parts, let's see just how much money we can make on it! Who knows, maybe we'll even find a part or two we can use on MY 997 turbo build!
Have a Salvage Porsche 911 Rebuild story of your own? Maybe you've bought a Wrecked Porsche for parts yourself! Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

its BS.

Really good video, knowledgeable , honest and very well narrated , good luck with the parts sale. Michael UK
Really suprised to see the front bumper cover was thrown out it woulda been worth someting even if it had a little damage!!
Agreed, those are pricey.
Ha haha a little damage.....
Agree very pricey and common part to get damaged. So there must be a demand for even a lightly damaged cover. I suspect this guy knows his market so if he chucked it then what do we know.
I like seeing the 997 part outs, I currently own a 9972 and i find them very interesting
- I have been away for a while as I only look at Porsches now at your site.
-I looked in the beginning at all the cars but shortly I didn't want to watch because I didn't car about the model of car.
- I enjoy how you takes these cars apart, price them and sell them.
- But the best videos are the wrecked Porsches that get stuck back together wether you keep or sell them. As always A+ on: content, knowledge, clarity of speech and video, humor and well all the other things I should say but it is time for dinner and I have run out of gas this late in the night.

Very cool, thanks for the breakdown !!!
a great description and vid, thanks for showing us, cheers NZ
and your outtakes!! great!
great video + presentation + knowledge! Well done mate! Cheers NEW SUB 🙏🏻
This has quickly become my favorite channel
You are a great spokesperson for your company i commend you sir Iam new to the channel and I'm impressed 😎 learned a few things already 😀
Just subscribed 2 days ago! Love the content!
dumb question, have you thought about getting a low profile frame rack to help pull these cars out to help with the tear down? glad i found this, love his energy
I’m glad I found this Channel. I’m a huge Porsche fan.
Really sweet! I have a 996tt speed yellow/brown. Rare combo
man i wish you guys were closer. would love to work at a a place like this
I could watch videos like this all day long
Good luck. I hope your able to re-coup that 30k. That's a lot of work to strip.
Awesome series! Wouldn't it be necessary to x-ray the rims, esp. for a high performance car like this? I've had to x-ray and let go of rims that entered less troubling circumstances...
If they balance up ok I doubt they will be cracked…
I’ve always been interested in the recycled parts industry and suspected that a successful business really has to be dialed in. Wow you’ve got your processes dialed in for sure. Impressive.
Been watching loads of your old vids past few days after YT algorithm suggested your channel, only just subbed, thank Bret jj Johnson for his comment. 👍
Love yiur videos
Doing a gt3 in the future would be amazing to watch! Love the vids by the way just found the channel last week
Go back in the series, I did one a while back!
Subscribed just for this content. Good luck with the parts. Definitely cut out the quarters!!! And big ups to Fernando!!! Lol
Unfortunately there quarters were no do’s up BAD
@@scraplifegarageFrom what i saw the both rear quarters were in good shape.
@@kaloianivanov5338 From what I saw, in person, while working on the car, they were bondo'd up trash.
So cool 😎
I see alot of good parts and the oil didnt look bad at all coming out of engine. Im happy you must be thrilled hahah.
If that was my car, With the price of oil in the States and an engine being 30 grand my oil would look like golden syrup lol
Great video.
Adaptive Sports Seats are the must have option on all P Cars.
To the buyer $1100 looks more appealing than $1100.98, i learned this at an early age when i sold cars, lose the 98 cents it just makes the item look a lot more expensive.
Your guys are very clever well done
I could use the bezel you threw away for the cluster.
In particular, I need the clear plastic lens. I broke mine repainting the bezel.
TIA
Wow I got to say you toss a lot of good sheet metal.front rails rear rails and tail lamp pockets the one Sea belt that was dirty I would have sent to safety restore and have a complete set.....I know you are in a factory setting and don't have a yard to say you do but on your exotic cars and certain high performance model's.my local shops are constantly coming in for sheet metal cuts and rail sections but I am understanding the way you do things the more I watch..... and look at the box of hardware you saved because like you said yourself will " nickel and dime you to death" I would save hardware kits on Porsche,vettes, vipers,jags,land rover, Jeep,dodge/Ram... for recovered thefts, burners,flood/fresh water, the stuff I didn't when I swept the floor put them in a bolt bucket and had a dumpster just for it #1 clean steel.i use to average 15-16 cars/trucks a week.i generated alot of recycling stuff drums and rotors into a 10 yard metal dumpster paid as clean motor cast iron...... and we had a guy from a local plastic company came down on Saturday and cut and ground up all of the bumper covers and paid the company if I remember correctly 35 cent's a pound for it.....I am sure you will get it figured out.... enjoy your videos 👍👌✌️🇺🇲🇺🇸
Get a deer/cow skull and use that Y pipe as the antlers for your wall art
I’m interested in the rear spoiler and deck lid when you sell it
Hi, Im from Lithuania. Watching Your videos :) how can I get that damaged driver seat from that yellow 997? :)
Good Man Speaker
Will those PCCB brakes fit on my Nissan Juke-R?
That horrific accident probably could have been prevented by a simple purchase of a new set of tires. Glad the body fluids were wiped off the nice interior before filming. Great Vid!
In the UK a mid 2006 911 turbo was £97840. Tiptronic was £1961 adaptive seats were £674 sports chrono package £1015 ceramic brakes were £5349. No idea what the £/$ was then 1.4 at a guess
UK has a huge VAT rolled in, the US does not. Each state collects sales tax after the sale. Usually around 6% to 8%
New price you're saying?
My 997.1 turbo build sheet was $153k...08 turbo cabriolet. Tiptronic, yellow seat belts and cluster, pasm, sport chrono, 18 way adjustable sport seats with porsche crest in the head rest, full leather package, 2 tone leather package, mahogany trim package, multifunction, and homelink.
I am not a Porsche fella. I have driven a couple over the years and was very impressed. That said, my favorite car is my 72 Chevelle with a supercharged SBC. My question is; what is the issue you mentioned, about not turning the engine, in this video, "backwards"? I've not run across that issue before with my American engines. Beyond that, I agree, you scored nicely on this purchase. I could see that engine being worked into all kinds of vehicles not originally Porsche's. Tons of power in a complete package that you showed had near perfect leak-down numbers. Definitely a saleable item. I would kill to get those brakes into my Chevelle. I'll bet that they could be adapted with some genius quality work. (Not me) That said, I know people who could manage the task. Thanks for a timely, informative, and fascinating video. A job well done!
The brakes are pccb. They are very impressive brakes. But they cost a small fortune. On ebay right now for all 4 used rotors it's around $8,000. That's just rotors...not pads or calipers. Most of us who do track days swap them out for the basic steel brakes instead because of the costs of replacing parts. However if you never track the car the pccb rotors are essentially lifetime rotors.
Why wouldn't ypu cut the rh quarter panel off for sale? Just curious as to why you wouldn't pick it clean?
with the turbo pipe you should get a bull/cow skull and use the pipe as the horns😳
I LMBO 😂 when you said well im going to tell you to get the h3ll out of here.lol😂😂😂😂😂
That feeling when the o2 sensor actually comes out.. I think 2 of mine were easy, and 2 were a nightmare
Unmatched!
Should save the roof put some wood poles on all four corners some little kids could have a 9:11 roof under Playhouse
Nice Yellow 997 Turbo
Man no way that guy survived??!!
Now that's bananna'd!
Welcome to our new vlog. The driver died, but we will make this car like new! Enjoy this episode!
Saw the 1 Sport seat on ebay. wish it wasn't the wrong color :D
Be interested if you would do a breakdown later after parts have sold to see how the profit worked out
Wow, is all I can say. As bad as the car is, just imagine how bad the persons body might be damaged.
Unfortunately it’s something we deal with a lot being a salvage yard. Buying cars at auction we never truly know the details of the accidents, as always we wish the best for everyone involved.
The driver did not survive the impact. Side impacts can be lethal at 50kph and this must have been a pole impact at a higher speed.
You have caught the Porsche bug.. BAD!!
Still haven’t driven a 911!
FD and Juke out here photo bombing!
09:21 That's not 22 years you gEniUs! 🥴
That's 27 years! Know your numbers! 🤓
😁🤣
You could send out those seat belts and have them redone and they could replace the seat belt fabric and make them look new again.
Get ahold of the Goonzsquad Brothers, They ae rebilding a Porsche right now and need Parts...unless you already have!
Different generation
@@luketc1 Ya, I know but I am sure he may have or can get what they need.
Wish I knew what the story of this car was because that is some insane damage
Was that Porsche oem yellow tape?
And that motor would be nice in an older vw van :)
So why you chuck the front bumper? Looked ok.
Unfortunately eBay fees are more than 10% when you factor in PayPal or eBay payments.
Out of curiosity particularly for the items that you don't have a tight grasp on what they're worth, why don't you enable best offers on them? You have control over what your auto-reject is anyway. It's got it's own problems with sometimes buyers not paying after you accept and possibly higher fees, but it seems like a no-brainer trade-off for stuff that might otherwise sit on the shelf for a long time.
We have to be mindful of margins, as you can see in this series.
From a business standpoint, I don’t start allowing offers in most parts until a year out from listing. It effectively devalues the parts and with how slim margins are in this industry, it’s less about how much volume we can move (in this instance by allowing offers to move parts) and more about how much we can generate of a given car, regardless of shelf time.
My Tiptronic coupe was 143k, also PCCB'S. The steering wheel was swapped. Not original to a 997.1. Sucks that it's not an original yellow stripe sport design wheel. Mine is swapped with an alcantara sport design paddle wheel, and they are HELLA expensive. Yes, the factory yellow stripe steering wheels are uber expensive... dumb, but that's how Porsche makes money on options.
The covers on the tandem pumps aren't coated and rust out easily.
What about the Quater pannels? you guys don't sell it?
Of course you know but be aware of what BIO means written on the front fender - I didn't see any protection of hazmat being used when you stripped the interior.
I didn't notice but why couldn't you have cut up the back of the car and sold the quarters were they that bad, or do they not sell?
I know a guy with two AMC Marlins , 327: 4 speed, one runs and drives, the other is parts..,. also pretty cheap.
you can assemble a Subaru with a porsche engine and with injection control FUELTECK 700 WHICH JUST LAUNCHED
Goonzquad may need some parts for their build
Where do you sale the parts?
Nice
Wonder if the 2008-era tires led to whatever accident totalled the car? Those are some OLD tires.
What was the mileage on the car all the fluids were clean
26K milles
@@dimondghost made sense ... impeccable engine fluid
Consider this the 997 Turbo appetizer, next up? Color reveal!
a lot of seatbelts can actually be refurbished by specialists.
Those rock hard tires are what probably killed that car and theres Fernando measuring the tread depth on rotten tires .
Are the rear quarter panels not worth good money ? Front bumper , surley some back st garage could have repaired it ? Drivers seat office chair ? Aircon pipe work for one with undercarage damage? I used to take every loom out my cars and weigh them in for scrap at xmas.
I know you cant store every single part but broke my heart seeing all those parts get thrown away as they would be fortunes ftom Porsche.Peace.
I believe it's a PDK transmission; very different than Tiptronic!
That's tiptronic
Thought this was the the hoof GP
What's up with the Black MR2 in the background.
Incredibly these comrades bought a wrecked car
Leakdown test only goes so far. What if you have a rod knock, main bearing knock, spun bearing etc.
thats why you send away an oil sample for testing
3:32 Even though the car is totally destroyed, does anyone else whince when tools and stuff are put on the paintwork? 😯 I must have serious OCD 😆
I'm surprised seat belts from a bad wreck are allowed to be sold.
Nice , I'm seeing a SPEEDSTER in the making
Looks new
Ugh man that was a rare, awesome color combo for that turbo 997. What the heck happened? Poor thing
i came for the porsches and stayed for the porsches
Can’t argue with that logic!
Maybe you’ve broken this down in the past and I haven’t watched/found the video yet but just out of curiosity, if you are aware these parts aren’t going to sell fast, and that you’ll have so much dead inventory, why still buy them aside that you get what you might need for yours? I mean, it’s your money and business, I’m not trying to say I could do it any better, I just don’t understand how losing that money for potentially years until the parts finally sell makes sense I guess.
Volkswagen: Wouldn't it be quicker to have a Beetle?😂
Porsche also says it wants to be a Beetle...
might as well turn it into a spyder, since most of the work is done for ya
Gdmed
fix that quickly
remove the damaged seat and remove the cover a good trimer can put it on another frame
driver was defiantly killed in that wrap around crash
interesting breakdown ,,, mind you , it was a nice car to begin with.
For The Engine only I'm Assuming 🤣😂🤣
who died in this car......
