This 'Vette Is The Ultimate Copart Find! Or Is It? Copart Walk Around 7/5/24

- You can't imagine my surprise when I saw this little red Corvette sitting along in the Copart Auto Auction yard. This 1995 Chevy Corvette rebuild would be very easy because the damage is minimal. This was obviously a show car since the owner had laminated the window sticker and kept it in the back. In this video, I'll let you hear the Corvette exhaust and the engine!
Then I'll show you a 2010 Mercedes C300 with hidden damage! I'll tell you why it's so important to visit the auction yard to view the vehicles you want to bid on because you never know what could be hidden. Finally, I'll give you a 2014 Mercedes ML350 review and talk about the Mercedes balance shaft issue. This SUV is in perfect condition, but the engine is a disaster!!

That red corvette absolutely suits you MIKE 👍
The engine in that 1995 is actually not a LS, but a LT1 V8. They're a bit of a pain to work on, and you have to especially watch the Optispark ignition module (especially if the water pump fails and gets the Optispark wet), but these are still good engines
Gravy to work on. Old school OBD1 technology.
That Corvette is amazing!
“Mikey likes!”😂😂😂
That ML doesn’t have the Balance Shaft defective engine. That issue was on the M272 V6 which was built from 2006-2011 but they fixed that problem by late 2007. The engine in that ML is the M276 V6 and is direct injected. They are overall pretty reliable. They have 302HP compared to the older V6 which has 258HP
Reporting for Duty makes plenty of sense for us Military Folks !! Carry On !!
Thank you for your service
Mike I like the vette, it’s a C4, the C5 is more desirable. But I would buy it for the right price. I appreciate you showing more chevys, dodges, and fords.
The little red corvette looks good on Mike
Hi Mike randy was my go to content channel but we had ups and downs but now you are the man great video mike😊😅😂
I love my 93 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette. A bit temperamental at times, but so much fun to drive!
I can see Mike driving that red Corvette everyday and on power tour with Randy in 2025!!!!🤠👍🏻🍻
3.5 (350 ML) is direct injection engine,no balance shaft issues,they were sold that problem in 2008
Mercedes 2008 was the last year for balance shaft issues, the 2012 actually has the 3.5l 302hp direct injection version
That ML is beautiful. That would be a great car to even pick up parts in.
Red on red hurts my eyes 👀❤️❤️beautiful. Don’t stay out in the hot weather and drink your liquids. Maybe the 2014 is to bad 🧐
Best video you got to date! Love the white Mercedes
Great video Mike it's been hot here too. We finally got some rain today. Keep up the great videos and work. As always love the channel
Appreciate the content when its hotter than a four-balled tomcat, way to keep your sense of humor about it.
Mike doesn't point it out, but I agree, someone is hiding something. If you look, there is a big color difference between the body and exterior when the doors are open. The door jams are a brighter shade than the exterior and sun fade doesn't make paint darker. Take into consideration the other thinks Mike mentioned, each wheel has a different brand of tire, and the plugs have been yanked (prevent anyone from starting it),you have to consider that someone put lipstick on a pig and is trying to pass it on (and off as something better than it is)..
I'm not a Corvette guy, but I think I would enjoy it or at least seeing it on someone's channel. I think it has a lot of potential.
Hey Mike nice video that is one nice looking corvette. Imagine if that corvette had the prince cd with the song little red corvette. I would definitely buy it for yourself. The 95 had the 5.7 liter with 300 horsepower and the 95 ZR1 had 405 horsepower. Keep up the great content.
Great 👌 video once again m,w,m, looking really warm out there Mike never ever does it get to them temperatures over our ways, plenty of vehicles to pick from in that yard to hop in and put the acc on for 5mins and cool down lol 🤣 👌✨👌👍👍
I think you should bid on the vette. You would look good in it.
little red corvette.
LT1 engine is always fun to work on. Optispark gets wet and dies and boy is that fun!
Bellissimo deposito 😊❤🎉
That Chevy Corvette looks nice Mike 😎😎👍👍
Great Hunting today , I’d say the Vette is you or Randy, your choice. The ML 350 might be a fun project since others have mentioned it doesn’t have the balance shaft issue. Maybe 🤔🤔
IDK about the red benz with the coils removed Mike.IMO someone diagnosed a problem & now it's sitting at the auction 🤔. Thanks 🐵🔧Mike 👍🫡
That Benz could be your yearly challenge. Go for it!
I like the red corvette and the benz SUV Mike 👍👍
11:57 Mike if you get that for £300/£400 thats a great car still for that kind of of 💰 money nan frfr, its in good condition by the looks of it on camera man and you definitely gona come across a motor for it in salvage near you looked a solid car to great but if content for the channel to!. 👌✨👌👍👍👍
You should start doing random intros that have nothing to do with your channel for laughs! I’d love it!!
Hey Mike, you can order the build sheet and window sicker from the vette museum in KY just by the VIN nr.
It is a 300 hp LT one engine and the only bad thing about them is if the water pump leaks, it puts out Optus spark right underneath it a.k.a. electronic distributor, almost
Cool car .. Corvette i love it
Nice Vette but I'm looking forwards to updates on the wagon.
Not A Fan Of C4 Vette But Like R&b Singer Prince Said " Being Red Corvette" Also Good Find Mike Still Has Dealership Window Stickers When Bought New In 95.
Fuel pump filter clogged injector clogged up but RockAuto has great prices 🤔🙏🏿🎯🙏🏀
Get some free air conditioning too while you shop ;)
Watching from KENYA 🇰🇪 EAST AFRICA
Kenya? Thank you!!
i'd buy that Vette in a heartbeat, very simple to fix! as for those Mercs? i'd steer well clear of the red one, the white SUV might only need engine mounts and a service, could be worth looking into if you could get it cheap enough.
👍👍👍
Prince. Yeeezzz.
Man i like that C4 Corvette too bad it's not a ZR1 but its beautiful red on red
Let your boy know about that white truck I'm just saying it looks exactly like his white truck show him the film that you got now showing us and he will see it
That Vette looks like it could be straitened out into a sweet car...good flip perhaps and some decent content??
How do you know what the intro is going to be before you record your video? It't magic!!
You need to borrow that box of coils from the C300 for the M350...
Nice finds. You Should check the oil before u start them
I like the red corvette and the 350 ml Mike either one would dew
Like always Mercedes, BMW, etc are very risky cars. The ML doesn’t sound fully healthy, and it seems like has something wrong with it. The C-class, you know by looking doesn’t run or anything. So if it gets to about $700, I’d walk away from it. The Corvette is a very good choice for YOU, we’d love to see if you open some money and bring something like that to the channel. Maybe you can go to power tour in your own car, maybe you make your own mods with the Corvette and make a series out of it! I’d go for the Vette like, keep it up we love the grind ❤
I want the vette! But then I'd need a stacker trailer for car shows. I might go up to $7k but you're not sure what you will run into.
Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike. The 1995 Chevrolet Corvette is a good looking car. The Mercedes C300 AMG is a good looking car.
Both Mercedes I would buy.
Nice vette.. It should easily pass torque hill😊
Get the vette!
Get the vett Mike
That's mold inside the car. Flood damaged.
Mike, why was the Corvette there? She's beautiful.
That Mercedes Benz must need its sparkplugs replaced. Also since is direct injection the intake manifold will need to be cleaned. That is probably why is not running well. 😊
The Little Red Corvette would be good for you.
110 in Georgia are 105
Mike don't think that is dust looks more like mildew
That red corvette that’s you monkey 🐵 like always great video’s 💯🫡🇺🇸🦅
True and that was funny ! 😎
Lt1 vettes got the ls1 in 97 and the ls2 in 05then ls3 in 08 ect...
Buy the white merc ,i am always of the opinion mechanical is easier than bodywork.
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
considering Randys luck with power tour cars. You should try your own cars
95 is the last year of the c4 so it is a collectible but it’s not worth a lot so keep a eye on it
'96 is the last year.
❤️🥰👍🤘
114 today in AZ yikes
Getting in and out of Vette 101…butt in first, pivot on your butt and rotate your legs around…reverse the process to get out.
Looks like And the insurance from the car. I’m trying to sell it on the block insurance page. Is your car ready? Find it now they’re trying to get everybody back.
Bid on the Vette if you can
Take a chance on the Mercedes.
Does not have a ls engine.. it has a LT engine
Too bad it wasn't a '96 6 speed, with the rare LT4.
LS came in 98 Thats a LT1
Found you from aar but he's annoying so now I watch you
no on 95 vette
get a go pro dude
Horrible yr Vet
You need a lot more work on your camera skills. It’s almost impossible to see what’s going on with your lack of camera skills. And, that “oh-ho and love it “ leave a lot to be desired. Grow up and stop trying to be so dramatic.
C-4👎😂
Hey Mike Lola Benzo the wonder
