Moving up north next week I’m tryna rebuild my first car by my birthday next year . I’m greatly inspired by guys like you and hope I can soak up knowledge from all the game ppl Drop on here . Stay blessed up 🤟
As a carguy, let me make sure nobody falls for this: less automatics than manuals does NOT raise the value of automatics. Manuals are always more valuable due to the fact they're tougher and easier to salvage and rebuild.
Dang! Of all the Co-part walkaround youtubers....you are a wealth of knowledge, information and the perfect commentator....keep it up and you'll will definitely increase your sub count! Cheers!
If my memory is correct, On those newer BMW cars, it might look like the hood is popped, but it's not actually. You have to pull the hood popper handle TWICE. Pulling it once half pops it(like it is in the video) you have to pull it again and it fully releases the Hood.
I want that Q50. 😩 The red and black looks to be a fifty some Chevy old folks love them, they are going out of style. Built no problems maybe 25k. If I had the money, I would scoop that Porsche. Lovely. Take it easy focus on the Porsche.
Awesome video, love these copart walk arounds I find these awesome! Some really cool cars in there! For the Porsche yeah if you could get it definitely worth the money just in parts that’s the switch over to DFI engine pretty bullet proof with bolt ons! Can’t wait for the next video!! Keep up the great content!! Watching from over the pond in the UK 👍🏻
The first year GTOs were 5.7 with double exhaust tips on one side, And unless I'm mistaken, the 05 06 models carried the 6.0 and had two exhaust tips, one on each side. The hood also changed in 05. They added the scoops. There were stories about some dealers adding the later hood to unsold 04s. Never really cared for them personally, They were nice cars but priced high for what they were.
Thanks for sharing the 911 turbo. I have found that knowing more about these damaged cars is great for me, but bad for bidding. The more you know, the less you bid. There are lots of people bidding blind that blow the pricing up.
Yep, Porsche switched to the PDK box for the 997.2. Huge improvement over the auto, though the PDK has improved since. For turbos, there were some weird, very rare 997.1.5 models that had the old engine and trans options but had the interior update. There is a bit of a premium on .2 models for the newer interior, and this one is suuuuuper clean, though there isn’t as much of a premium for 997.2 turbos, as the 997.1 turbo was the last of the Metzger derived engine, and it wasn’t a faulty design like NA/Carrera 997.1 engines. As you said, the Metzger fanboy army would probably prefer your engine!
Love your channel! You’re in the right business and know the Corvettes value like no one else. As far as the Camaro went that looked like a 1970 and 1/2 rally sport Z28. Ultra rare if vin supported. Keep the content coming Brother!
All I can say thanks alot to you tubers like u guys that messed up copart for good !!...I know alot of my friends that used to buy cars from there for years for a great price especially nice sport cars, not to fix and re sale, just to enjoy for ourselves knowing that you never be able to buy that car from a dealer...now that every tick tocker knows about it ....you may as well go to a dealer and get a better deal then getting it on copart
@Boggs D, sucks to suck….The salvage auction market has certainly changed. You have to be able to adapt and change with it. Otherwise, wasn’t meant to be anyways. Don’t sit there a whine about it like a child.
The 1956 Buick starts with the gas pedal! Get in the car, floor the accelerator, turn the key to ON, then floor it. That's how you start them. Starter switch is on the carb (if still stock). Not Kidding.
997.2 turbo s ...love it...as a proud owner of one!)) and yes, totally agree that's the best spoiler on it! The carbon fiber air box is OEM (exclusive option) and yes it's a real PDK, which no human being can beat with a manual)). Good luck with your project!
@@TheBestsellermd I funny enough had a Meteor Grey 997.2 Turbo S as well but it had hideous sea blue interior w/ yellow stitching, not even 2yrs later traded it for a Racing Green Mclaren Mp4-12c thought I made the best deal of my life time but then I ended regretting it not even a year later after trading 🥲😂
Love the channel! The only thing that would increase the value of that 997.2 Turbo S would be if it was manual. 997.2 is the last with a manual Turbo. Hope you get the winning bid on it!
997.2 Turbo S were PDK only. Interesting that it doesn't have centerlock wheels. The original owner must have ordered 5-bolt wheels as a special option.
Broski talking about the GTO like GTO's in general are rare there's so many of them here in Australia probably because there a Holden Monaro not a Pontiac
what is the reason for covering up the hellcat Copart windshield sticker when you can see the lot number written on the driver door window? and later when you were looking at the front end.
do you have an online merch store id like to buy one of your shirts ? Subscribed great content. no 2x or 3x shirts dangit man lol big guys wear tshirts too lol js
There were actually THREE of them, all brand new! I did actually film a segment on them but I didn’t want this to be a 40 minute video! Hmm, 50 likes on this comment and I’ll drop the segment as a short on this channel 🤔 *will have to confirm I didn’t delete the video after editing once I get home and will update!*
Unfortunately I did delete the raw unused footage after uploading. The story on those 3 Trofeo’s: They are all BRAND new with flood damage. I talked to a lot guy and he said they’ve been there forever. There was a 4th Maserati from the same event that was taken and crushed a while back. The white Trofeo has weeds growing into the back of it. One had minor collision damage on the front as well, but otherwise they are your typical flood cars. I’m not sure if these 3 will ever be sold, or will had to the crusher for reasons unknown.
@@LeeC thanks I saw in your most recent video about ghiblis and other lesser Maserati models that someone may have mentioned that. I only have an interest in the those 180k plus models which I identified due to the tricolore stripe I saw on one. Due to the fact it was a flood and couldn’t be started I agree with you skipping over. I have no interest in the v6 consumer models and just wanted to hear the Ferrari v8 which I researched and realized that it is a 3.9 in the 488 gtb Ferrari and a 3.8 producing almost 80 less hp that I was curious. Thanks for your response and please don’t show any v6 Maseratis lol.
Love the videos. Could you possibly do a video on how the public could buy at these auctions with a broker or something like that? I would love to see that process
I’ll see if I can find a way to make a creative video out of it! I’ll reach out to some brokers and see if any have interest in outlining the process with me
@@LeeC 😆 you seem like a very honest guy but no 😆😆😆All the late BMW you have to pull twice no under bonnet latch to mess with 👍Can you guys get the F80 M3 in manual in America i have one an amazing car 👍
@@matthewwebb1045 In the interest of honesty, though I’m not sure I should admit it, I was playing with it for Atleast 30 seconds before I gave up 🫣 But thanks for the heads up! Next trip I’ll look like a bmw pro.
This is the issue with copart. The first thing people do is try to start the cars before even looking at the damages. If you would have started that BMW M3 if can go south very fast. In California I was looking at a bently and some idiot had run it, leaked out all oil and through a rod. He must have had it running for half an hour or so without oil lol. It was clearly marked DO NOT START but Copart lets anyone in to roam freely. I bout a couple cars from copart before, never again, not worth it also they will misrepresent the damage to the vehicle and leave out some major issues, understandable as the employees who get the info have no clue about the car, they dont check them out.
@@scraplifegarage I know it man. I always the way they look. Along with the color blue that infinity uses. Unlike most cars on the street. Those cars are so unsuspecting. That almost nobody would have an idea There awd 400 hp tt animals from the factory. That can hang with, or beat. Alot of daily drivin street cars. Also is the car a 2018
Love your videos I just don’t understand why y’all pay so much for wrecked crap that why everything is priced so high new stop paying it everything will drop
Go for the 997.2 turbo s and send it to aim. 9 second street car with just bolt ons and meth injection to start. You can go further too if desired just like the other 911 turbo generations.
We do buy them! I just don’t rip the plastic off at the auction lot, sometimes they sit for months before they go up for auction, last thing we want is for them to be full of water!
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-(!!!!
That V12 badge on the Aston means two Ford Contour V6's glued together. Lol
Cool walk around, that C7 was so jacked up for a second I thought it was the Callaway Stationwagon!
No joke I thought the same at first glance.
Moving up north next week I’m tryna rebuild my first car by my birthday next year . I’m greatly inspired by guys like you and hope I can soak up knowledge from all the game ppl
Drop on here . Stay blessed up 🤟
Good luck with the move and I wish you luck on the rebuild!
As a carguy, let me make sure nobody falls for this: less automatics than manuals does NOT raise the value of automatics. Manuals are always more valuable due to the fact they're tougher and easier to salvage and rebuild.
mr carguy there is now universal code like that, what goes true on sports/enthusiast cars might not do on economoboxes

Love your videos and BMW with airbags deployed don’t start again. They have a fuse in the battery that pops when a airbag deploys

AWESOME VIDEO! THANKS FOR WAKING ME UP THIS MORNING WITH THE COMMENTARY!
That 997.2 PDK is a beast. Shifts like butter. Simply amazing.

That Camaro did have EFI that is a kit that can be mounted to a carburetor style intake manifold. Chances are that Camaro had some sort of tune.
Glad I happened on your channel with the red vette. Loving it, im hooked
it's an efi conversion kit. the "carb" is just a throttle body.

I bought a 997.2 Turbo S last year. The PDK is pretty good, but definitely not quite as refined as the newer ones.

Nice, a new video as a birthday present for me. Thank you very much!
Happy birthday and thanks for watching!
I lived in my surf van for 2 years here in Huntington Beach. I had a blast. Saved $40k and looking to buy a Viper :)

Ahh you’re right all the 997.2 Turbo S were PDK.

The Pontiac GTO.

All over the place in AUS.
what is the reason for covering up the hellcat Copart windshield sticker when you can see the lot number written on the driver door window? and later when you were looking at the front end.

Didn’t start making Camaros till 1967 !
Yes it's a split bummer and that is the one everyone wants and it is a carburetor it's not E.F.I
No its a throttle body EFI. They converted it with the Sniper kit.
Yes, 1971 Z-28 Camaro is rare. Only 5 thousand made, and being a manual trans, even more rare. 360 HP
That red Porsche is Gorgeous even thoe it’s wrecked it’s a sexy beast
That's the truth!
If your in NY up in Marlborough Or Newburgh You're gonna find some sweet cars
Next two videos are at Newburgh lots!
Nice alot of good cars up here
Yes
If I wanted to build a cheap sleeper for 40k..... Camaro SS with a supercharger?
Despite being a Brit, I am not a fan of Astons. But that 4 door V12, is massively rare 😳
That's Aston is an Aston Martin Rapide. It's fairly rare.
And if u could get that old Buick cheap that would be a good buy
