Bringing this back would take your channel to another level 🚀
In which direction? 😉
keep in mind this is just a corvette.
It definitely would. But every damaged car has its difficulty. He can.
The scammers more than likely brought it just for the modded parts, took those off and just threw back on what ever they wanted to sell it.
if you manage to fix this car back to stock, you are a wizzard
dayymm
Yeah, it's pretty messed up
Get ready to call him Gandalf
@@MrHReviews THIS!!! I believe... my manz rebuilt a damn McLaren with nothing but graham cracker crust, egg wash, and prayer. Seriously, if anyone can do it, VTuned can do it.
Yes this car is a challenge
It’s easy to see why Tim gave up on this car. The fact that you have zero dollars invested really gives you an advantage toward reconstruction costs. You should be in a pretty good position to put it back together and turn a profit. It will be interesting to see you and Jake work your magic on this one.
Think about it who in there right mind would by this car.
IF there is someone that can put this car back together!!! Its definitely Vtunes! You are sure the man for the Job
He's a mad man for even attempting it! Hat's off to him!
He is like Tavarish
What I love most about Vtuned is that he always put up some REAL CONTENT. Genuine hard work and honesty... unlike other UA-camrs who rebuild cars.
Let me just say this, this project is a viewer magnet. The minute I saw you posted that you were pulling the engine, I was all in. Fascinating stuff, right up there with the McLaren build.
I’m 71 years and worked on my 60/70’s hot rods but everything changed as electronics became more prevalent in today’s automotive. I love watching you with your craft of working on these vehicles. Your a one man fixing machine. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching.
You will be DA MAN if you can bring that back from the dead
That engine is definitely built. At the very least it has a cam, connecting rods, ARP rod bolts and main bolts. Possibly even pistons since it also had a blower obviously. Would be worthwhile to see if it can be salvaged. Probably 2-4k in the short block alone.
I see that as well. Has main studs and looks like it's arp.
Repairing this one would be great viewing, I would love to see it.
You can do it bro, we have faith in you, show us that you can!
The dry sump was part of the Z51 package. The Z51 Performance Package includes dry sump lubrication, specific close-ratio gearing, transmission-cooling system, larger 19-inch front and 20-inch rear aluminum alloy wheels and dual-compound Michelin tires, larger slotted rotors and brake-cooling ducts, electronic limited-slip differential and differential cooling ..
Fix it!! With your skills and talent I know you can do it!!!! Incredible content!!!
You could build a long block with a new block and crank and crank bearings. It might be worth it. Then use the money to buy a car that has been hit bad in the rear and put the two together. That is one possibility for this car.
I thought as much too
Back half it and cage it. The best thing to do with this car. Keep the rear end and make a race car out of it
I’m glad you have someone to collaborate with! I like the vibe both of you put out! Keep it up 👍
A man with your skills absolutely can do more than fixing a car in this condition you can give it a second chance dude but its all up to you
Make the right decision Ben and Jake on this Corvette. The ball is in your court. I will wait and keep on watching what you guy's do.
@Vtuned get it repaired, your channel will actually get back to the position it was back in the days! We are here to support you as much as possible!
Find a c7 hit in the rear. Make one from two.
I'd be tempted to send that engine out to an engine shop and get it checked out before you tear it apart. Sure it was shoved back and the shims are probably jammed that's why it's tight but who knows? it could be a good engine. (except for all the broken bits on the far end).
Your timing chain is removed and the cam and valvetrain is still in. When you turn the crank, you are hitting the valves (which some of them are still down) onto the pistons.
And still he's saying, "its all looking good" ......... Right Ben. From a distance ..
exactly remove the dash and windshield to see the extent of the damage this thing might be salvegeable or finding a donor vette that has caught fire is another option.
Ok Now !!
You got all the kids in the peanut gallery & us parents attention.
If anyone out there in yt land can do this it's VTuned...Jake is a great asset to the channel as well.
This build will prove to be what we already know, you're a young MASTER of your game...this series will catapult you in the numbers game...the million mark is in the crosshairs & you'll bust this dead center.
I think we all rally behind you with this task.
Keep on doing what you do.
Blessings 🙏
Purchase another vette, one that's been rear-ended. Combine the two..
I'm excited for this one- this is close to what a normal dude like me might be able to do. Should be a good series!
Don’t underestimate these guys’ abilities…they are very talented.
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Really good content! Love watching you ! Nothing seems to bother you 👍🏻
Broken at the first journal. That’s why it looks like the cranks seems straight now.
Do a gofundme to rebuild it to oem and make it an epic series. Bet it would grow the channel to Goonzquad size.
Yeah I just don't get it. Those dudes just say dang son, epic, and try to sell you some sauce and have over 1 million. Ben does badass rebuilds are don't have nearly the following. Just makes no sense!
Goonzquad need to go back to the old days nowadays it’s about 3 minutes of repairing the car, 10 minutes of them drifting and crashing random cars another 5 mins explaining housing plans and eating.
I know you can fixed it VTUNE you’re the most persistent person I know in the motor vehicle industry I can’t wait to see you put it all back together and running
Man this car is beyond repair it’s a great parts car tho
Beyond repair is the line where Vtuned starts working on it.😂
Beyond repair? VTuned says "challenge accepted"
What part of FREE did you miss? With the right machine shop that car have a safe chance.
Nothing is beyond repair the obstacle is cost.
I had a car years ago that was hit by a 40ton truck(semi) on the motorway (freeway) . The car was written off for scrap because the cost of the repair would have been £38K (it was all itemized in the insurance assessment). As the car was only 18-20K when new and mine was 9 years old, and at the time only worth about £900. It got a well deserved burial and the insurance duly gave me half its value as a settlement. Which was almost enough to put a set of Tyres in the car I bought to replace it.
That car is toast … this would take a year to fix … I’d rather see 30 day builds.
I think you should go for fixing it. Maybe not cost effective, but, the content will make up for it and, we will all learn a ton of new things. Very fun! Think of how much cheaper it will be than a Ferrari or McClaren.
All that damage but you still have a positive attitude that you might be able to fix it. With your skills it will happen!
The tyre inflator lost two bars of power inflating one tyre.
Drift car build is a big job. If you can buy new frame or second car with rear damage. That would work. Lot of assembly but that is fast compared to building something
Hope you fix this corvette fully back to OEM spec
To repeat a famous quote. “There is nothing more expensive than a really cheap co-part scam”.
Consider stripping entire body for parting out. Then build a go cart from frame. 👍
Yeah, it might make sense to repair the tub and such on a several hundred thousand dollar car. Not a Vette. It’s a parts car. Take the money and use it for the next build.
You gotta bring this one back to life, we know you got the skills! Make it happen captain!
I love it - "Just to see how far my skills can go". Please restore this back to showroom. What great content that would be
I don’t know about this one V-tune… send it down the road over to the goons garage, those guys would try and fix anything with your help!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man i hope you get it back together ,this is going to be a hell of a ride , good work so far
Rebuild It, V Tunned Garage !
You need to do a collab with Shawn Pilot’s channel. He does amazing Corvette rebuilds. You can bring this back to life.
Diesel Vette! Haha. Stick a Cummins in it. Or a V6 Porsche engine. I'm just messing with you all. It would be neat to see a Vette though with the engine from a Turbo S. Or a K24 Honda engine with a giant turbo. When you were talking about Copart scammers, where I live in Florida that is a common practice. People buy the car and take the good parts and stick in bad parts from another car then run it back through the auction.
Tube frame for the front 🤙🏼make it a drift car for weekends
This engine will be the best first engine to repair.
There's hundreds and hundreds of other incredible project cars out there. I guess when you get older time becomes one of your most valuable resources. I'm with ya either way! 💯
Man let me tell you. When you work on a car and finish it, it really motivates me. I absolutely love the content you’re doing. You don’t pretend that you can do everything and that you know everything but you try and try and you’re persistent. I love it. When you completed the C8 project, it was absolutely amazing. Please continue to upload videos, I love when you work and finish on cars. I’m tired of looking at unfinished projects, I want to see more wins. It makes me feel like there’s someone out there that cares
What's crazy is goons quad really put him on and Sam (who never finishes anything which is why we love him lol). They never really complete anything but houses nowadays.
Attention All Ben and Co.fans.If Ben can completely disassemble a $300 k Ma Clearen ,This Corvette is a cake walk for these guys; 💯👌
It would be awesome if you rebuild this one!
Free car = more budget 👍 can't friggin wait to see what happens with this thing!
This build is going to be awesome! And I think trying to fix as much you can by your own and as cheap as you can are going to relate to many
I'm here for this rebuild! Don't give up on it please! I gotta see this thing get restored!!!!
I must admit that a few months ago I was skipping some of your episodes. Now they are very interesting. Interesting cars and content. Great improvements expect your subs to grow.
@vTuned garage - This car is a real test of your guys skills. This build is very interesting. Can not wait to see more.
Nice work!!! You make it look so easy 😊
I'd love to see this thing get rebuit, but you're right. if it's junk it's junk. Beautiful color though. I've really enjoyed watching the videos on this one.
Man I couldn't be happier to see this corvette come back to life if anyone can do it, it's vtuned aka Ben thanks for the video🎉
I love to watch this build. There is a challenge. Like watching challenges.
Really hope you do rebuild it would love to see both corvettes sitting side by side!!
Dangg I love this channel, keep up the great work V
This will be a rebuild series really worth watching. Looking forward to how you fix this Corvette!
Yes! Would love to watch you put it back together!
Pure eye candy. Don't have the ways or means but this is the next best thing ！You nailed the length on this one too. Really cool vid.
You should keep the rims and added on the c8 corvette it would look nice on it
Might be an LT block and heads set up. Too bad to see one of those destroyed
I havent watched this yet, but I'm so excited for this series!
I love watching you guys you will tackle anything keep up the good work.
Loving the videos keep it coming ❤
It will be amazing if you can fix the car. If anyone can do it will be you. Enjoying your channel and content. ❤
this is a good exercise to take it all apart - dx and tx - get it on frame machine to really check dimensions and then maybe a crate engine for the corvette or get some parts from the junkyard - or just part it out - do an update on the mustang
I heard of a story of a mechanic in Brazil that used to straighten crankshaft with a rig welder. He would put spot welds in strategic spots to straighten the crankshaft and ground off the slag.
V.t. the rebuilding is really good content 👌
Looks like that inflator used 50% battery for that 1 tire
i got one for christmas and returned it. I got 3/4 tires filled and died. They werent even 1/2 way low. I LOVE their jump pack though, I use that all the time and lasts forever
🔧🧙♂💪 Kudos to you if you can work your magic and restore this car back to its original condition! It's a challenging task, but your skills and expertise make it possible. The process of pulling the engine out of the Copart Scam Corvette C7 is undoubtedly a fascinating journey. I'm curious to see how you tackle this restoration project. Best of luck, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next steps in this captivating adventure!
Hey, I don't know if anyone else noticed but that's a Corvette Grand Sport. I think they were only available in 2017 and were based on the Z06 with some added features. If you can get this one fixed up, you'll have a winner!! Go for it!!
This is SUPER GREAT Ben!!! I will never skip watching this journey!! Thanks
This is GREAT! Rebuild please!!!!!!
Awesome videos brother will inspire a lot
2 plug alt, you need to send a 12v signal to the alt to get it to start generating electricity. Just look at the wire schematics. Also I believe a one plug alt doesn't have the voltage regulator in it where the two plug does. So will take some playing with to get it working but possible
So many problems with Copart . Vlad at LNC now checks out his cars first 👍👍
Correct VLAD had to fight them for a refund on that one car that was wrong mileage
Congratulations on the engine. Now you have a car that can be sold to be rebuild by somebody else. But there is a lot profit there on the table.
That engine might be nice for your Mustang.
I think you have to strip it complete to make a good decision about to rebuild the Corvette or not 🤗 it would be nice to see it rebuild but it also have to be sensible for you both financially. I’m looking forward to part 3 of this journey 👍
"This frame rail is literally holding on with hopes and dreams" dude you cracked me up LMFAO 🤣
I think this is super sick project car. If the engine is good, make it more power upgrades on it, get new squential gear box,performance shaft, fix the frame and put Competition carbon C7RR wide body kit... mamamia 🎉🎉😊 Of course that would be my choice. I respect whatever your choice is. 👍
Great video guys. I am the ultimate optimist, but could you take the crank to a machine shop to see how bad it’s bent? My first thought was that the crank would have snapped off. I was around Cummins engines in the parts dept for years. Most of the noses would snap if there was a catastrophe. A lot of the time the guys commonly called it a picture window because a rod would go through the side of the block. I know you’ve got a lot on your plate with a wedding coming up. It would be cool to see a machine shop check the crank, rods & heads. I am assuming with the broken bolt holes on the back end that the block is toast. Still, they could check the line bore. This would give the machine shop some exposure and give you another opportunity for additional content to add to a future video. As always this is your channel, you do as you see fit. See you in the next installment.
I was saying the exact same thing, people was in the comment section saying "junkyard" . Why people so quick to junk something that was free. IMO that engine can be repaired !
the wheels look good !!
Nice thing about GM is that their repair procedures are completely free and open to the public. As you go through the heavy structural on this project those procedures will be CRITICAL to making this right.
You always amaze me Ben when you bring back a bucket of bolts and make it run and look amazing.
Awesome video
if there's anyone who can fix this, it's definitely vtuned ,greetings from Belgium
I would love to see this car completely repaired back to the way it was. maybe a front cut to replace the firewall/frame rails for a full restoration that would be amazing and impressive
No, if you get the Z51 option package on the C7, it comes with a dry sump.

Imagine how amazing it would be if you repaired it. Epic. Do WORK!
You have the skills to do a great job, keep going man, it's going to be amazing see how you do this project
I like the “held together with ramen noodles and super glue” description of how a Corvette is built; sounds good to me!!!
