  • The Ford Mustang Coyote 5.0 engine is a massively popular platform for modifications. With plenty of aftermarket support and big power potential, it is easy to see why the Ford Mustang is a popular choice among car enthusiasts. For those reasons, the Ford Mustang is also a popular car at insurance auctions. This supercharged RTR Ford Mustang stands out from the crowd though.
    With an impressive amount of modifications and plenty of nice OEM parts. This supercharged RTR Ford Mustang was one that we just couldn't pass up when it ran across the salvage auction block. Now we need to see if this supercharged RTR Ford Mustang was worth the $20,000 price tag that it cost us. Join us for a Salvage Story, where we dive into the potential profit or loss for this salvage auction supercharged RTR Ford Mustang!

    Another fun episode, guys. As to the numbers, it may not be as bad as you think. The motor was presold, so the selling cost maybe should be 10% of $12K, not $31K. That's $2000 more profit. The same goes for the dead inventory charge. That shouldn't apply to the motor, just the $12K of parts - another $2000 of profit that wasn't calculated. So you can add $4000 to the profit, as far as I can tell. Maybe it's not on the Loser list after all and Carrington is out of the dog house!

    Can’t kill it every time guys. Y’all are extremely good at what you do and could’ve done the math before the tear down. I feel this car was worth fixing just because it’s a special car that should’ve been put back on the road. You said it from the get go it kept the lights on , as in it literally paid nothing but the electric bill.
    Love the channel and the transparency on the numbers. For every bad deal 2 bad ass deals will follow trust me

    Every time I think I’d like to buy, repair, flip more salvage vehicles, I watch a few of your videos and decide not to. I know that I’d try to fix too many and/or become a parts hoarder. I stick with Jeeps because I can do them quickly and easy I don’t mind keeping several for my hunting ranch. If I pull the trigger on a 911 TS like I want, I’m sure it won’t be so easy. Anyway, thanks for the honest feedback on the business side as it’s certainly entertaining to watch.
