The engine is going to tell that, interior was cleaned so you got a good deal on that already, and if the engine dosent have any water deposited inside and turns after checking it out (like with a borescope camera or something) then yea. Worst case you have a really nice parts car to gut and sell, probably would make more money for what was worth, and in the best case? a C7 that needed a few touches and those guys at the dealer got scared because of the electric part wich is time consuming rather than just expensive.
You just need to hope that engine hasn’t been sitting full of water… change the oil first thing see if water comes out. If it does it’s just like a flooded atv at that point pull the plugs and turn her over a few times. And do not forget to check the air box!!! If there’s no water than you’re sitting pretty. Though the salvage title blows re titling one of those is a pain in the ass.
The cost breakdowns you do are awesome. Puts thing in a real perspective unlike some other UA-camrs who have insane amounts of money in their projects. Looking forward to the next video!
He said, my name is Private Andrew Malone And if you're reading this, then I didn't make it home But for every dream that's shattered, another one comes true This car was once a dream of mine, now it belongs to you Had to match the other member some one keep it going
Though you may take her and make her your own You'll always be riding with Private Malone Well it didn't take me long at all I had her runnin' good I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
This guy is delusional if he thinks that this car with a "Salvage" title is worth anywhere near KBB price.. Straight off the top you can knock 50% off the value. He'll be damn lucky if he breaks even when he sells it. After seeing the water lines on the front I promise you that the motor and trans both filled up with muddy water and then it sat for a few years....NOT GOOD! Yeah he's gonna be sad by the time that thing's running and driving lol...
I have a feeling you are going to get some interesting surprises. A lot of shops buy cars like this and look for a quick easy flip for maximum profit. Looking at the waterline and the fact they slapped it back together is a good indication that its going to be a bigger project. Hopefully the engine and trans are good and no water got in. I would definitely check fluids and scope the bores before cranking it. The electrical connections are going to be another killer but they can be refurbished or replaced as well. Id personally rip everything apart and inspect it but it may not be as bad as one would expect. Either way itll get a lot if views and grow your channel for sure. Id say regardless it's a good purchase content wise.
so excited for this, and envy the opportunity to do something like this with your dad! He seems so excited. wouldn't mind seeing more of him. he seems like he knows a lot about these vettes!
It’s funny how you talk about your dad getting excited about working on the Corvette. I bought a wagon in February as a roller and my dad was the same way. Cleaning things up. When I wasn’t working on it.
I’m surprised the owner you spoke with wasn’t more excited to see it. Seemed like he didn’t care to much. And use rubbing alcohol or acetone to remove the marker on the glass
I'll say this much, salvage titles destroy the value of a car. However, the fact that you will be documenting the restoration process could probably get you a few extra bucks. Obviously there are a lot of variables that go into it, and I'll never bet against you haha. I'm just giving a little insight with titles. Much love, homie!
serious buyers dont care about salvage titles but people buying with bank loans care since bank usually dont loan out to buy salvage title cars but again just show people how most clean title cars have wrecks that go unreported and you'll find a buyer
@angelcelis9090 yes, but in most cases we can't trust people's word or even carfax (easy to get around). The good thing here is he will document the process which serves as proof
At first I was unsure you would be able to take on a project like this since it’s far from a ATV restore but then I remembered you worked on emergency vehicles as your career before this, good luck, can’t wait to see this build
So i worked in a couple yards and salvage yards . We do use forklifts with bumper plates that are rubber fittings for the forks they slide on but ppl never ever use them . I can see they lifted it from the front up and down a couple times . Lobe your work mike . I have a buch of bikes . And you have helped me with alot . I have a 2017 Honda grom i fully stunted out Kx85 2014 Cr85R 06 Cr250R 2001 89 z50R ❤
Hey Mike, just wanted to say I’m pumped to be following along on this journey with you. Super interesting stuff. Looking forward to seeing the progress of it all and good luck to you with everything.
I can't wait to see the next video when you breaking things down when you drain the motor oil for water in the engine & the transmission! Also, check the exhaust to see if there water in it as well.
@@MichaelSabo keep on sending it an can’t wait to see what you decide todo with the corvette. I would love to hear that thing chop wit a crazy cam and you plan going super charger or pro charged if it were me mike pro charge that baby send it .
@@MichaelSabo I been following you for a while now and almost asked if you wanted to work on my bike after my 450 blew up after only riding two times after buying it had to replace a case half trans cylinder an just a mess and you motivated me to get it done and then you built that yellow 450 that inspired me more to get it done . Bikes done she’s a monster for an 03 yz450f maybe a dinosaur but she gets around . Mike can’t wait to see what what you decide I love your skits hilarious and how you pay attention to detail on things
I watch a few different channels like Goonzquad and a few others, and I’m way pumped to watch this series on this car. You do such a great job on quads taking your time with each part. Keep up the great work I’ll be watching haha.
I just found you because of the Corvette. Great job with this 👏. If you wouldn't have done this vette, I might not have found this channel. I'll watch your quad videos later. Keep us up on this vette bro. I'm about to watch video 3 here shortly. 👍💯
once your able to get the hood open check the motor block and make sure you have a 6.2l, from one of the pics, it looked like the front end was abit high as if there was no motor in it, best of luck on the rebuild, and keep up the great work.
What you need to understand is dealers buy up salvage cars that have minimal damage and then start making it look better by minimally finding items to fix and just putting damage parts back to its original place (especially flooded cars…they will take the interior apart and dry/clean it up ). THEN, boom…the car is back on auction. This is how they make money but doing a quick “flip”. And then someone buys a car thinking there’s no damage and can lose a ton of money (and a lot of times the cars are back up on auction because people don’t want to deal with them). Always buy a salvage car that an insurance company is selling. That way you know it most likely driving and was involved in a normal accident and not sold 10x. you are able to see that on Copart and IAAI. Also before bidding you can run the VIN just by googling and seeing if it has ever been listed on other auctions. You’ll even be able to see pictures of the car when the “flipper” originally won it. This is a popular way of making money. So I hate to say it but the dealer you called isn’t going to tell you the truth and say that that is what they do. Good luck on this one.
Your gonna have to completely strip it down inside and out. Clean everything and replace all electrical. Your in for some major expenses. Somebody already bought it and decided it was too expensive to rebuild and put back up for sale.
Don’t forget the hidden compartment behind the infotainment system.. Hopefully once you have battery power you can open it. Maybe some more goodies in that compartment. Good luck….
I think you got a fair deal. Paint looks great after the wash. I have a 2019 C7 Grand Sport so you got my attention here. Great that you got a manual transmission. Must have!!!
I know you’re better at this stuff than me. But I’m an old school mechanic from way back. I have owned well over 100 cars in my lifetime. I do know one thing for sure. Even if you fix that car back up to factory new, it will still always have a salvage title. Therefore the value will be less as will the market to sell that type of car as a corvette owner myself. I would not buy a salvage/water damaged corvette unless it was a steal. Hopefully you have good luck and are willing to sit with it for awhile. Good luck
I want to say you got a smoking deal but the flooding photos are a bit scary. Im hoping for the best and the car has ended up in the right place. The word that came to mind after the wash. Dude . 👍✌. This is gonna be an awesome series and i hope a shirt becomes available. I really enjoy your all in attitude and the super funny bultaco knuckle punch. 😂😂😂. As Cletus McFarland would say. LETS GOOOOOO...
i got a flooded jeep patriot and i flushed the engine out with diesel gas and flushed the transmission and after all that it still has a clean title lol but it does run like new.
Best thing to do with a car like this is tear the interior down to bare frame. Your going to have a lot of issues with connectors inside the vehicle as they arnt weather sealed. Then get a smashed up c7 and transfer over the interior modules and harness. Because i can see everything being damaged, their can be up to 80 modules that communicate on the can network and one bad pin fitment can cause a dtc let alone water corrosion.
I do plan to completely tear down the interior - that's a great idea transferring over a new harness from a smashed C7, even if the existing harness appears good.
even though it was up north , id say it was salt water bring from a hurricane . but that doesnt mean you cant fix it for cheap . me personally if you can swing it , id keep it . thats my kind of style right there and its a sweet color combo . also its very cool how happy your dad got and yall are fixing it together . if you bring it to cruising the coast stop by and take me for a ride🤟🤟
@@MichaelSabo im thinking about trying this for a hellcat challenger . i cant afford a nice turn key one . so like everything else ive got to build my ride . i start from the bottom with everything . built not bought
I LOVE every vid you make! I’m a huge car guy and I also had a quad growing up! Please keep making vids, and I love this series! I’d love to shake your hand and talk to you one day brother!! I’m only 27 but you literally give me inspiration to do the same stuff! Got a project car myself! I think mine had flood damage also
I think it's dirt based on the parts I found in the door panels and pockets - stuff they didn't clean. A few people commented saying they bought flood vehicles from the same hurricane and they had to clean tons of the orange dirt out :/
@MichaelSabo Thanks man it was so good to meet you as well it made my weekend it was fun riding but to be honest meeting you was the best part on going on the trip your a true class act bud thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk and letting us hang out with you it was awesome I had a great time
I'm interested in seeing this build. I usually buy and sell a few salvage cars myself and I usually stay from non insurance cars. CDS is Copart Dealer Services and that's where you see 95% of the shady things happening, dealers slapping 2x4 under leafsprings shady haha. There are a few good free websites where you can actually see the exact final bid price for prior auctions as well. Also research it before hand and if you plan to do more well sign up for the membership because you can go visit the local yards and see more cars as well. Happy Hunting out there! Also find a cheaper broker. I used them too when i first started but there are alot cheaper brokers that charge less of a fee and can allow you access to IAAI and even Manheim cars as well if you plan to continue doing it.
A big question is whether water got into the engine. The waterline was high enough were it looks like a possibility. You'll have to drain the oil and see.
What do you guys think? Did we get a good deal here, or were we ripped off?
The engine is going to tell that, interior was cleaned so you got a good deal on that already, and if the engine dosent have any water deposited inside and turns after checking it out (like with a borescope camera or something) then yea. Worst case you have a really nice parts car to gut and sell, probably would make more money for what was worth, and in the best case? a C7 that needed a few touches and those guys at the dealer got scared because of the electric part wich is time consuming rather than just expensive.
I would say the place before got ripped off but you got a wicked deal. Beautfiul car too, i'm a mustang guy but i wouldnt pass on a project like.
Dude this is super exciting 🙌
What’s it gonna be worth with a salvage title after it’s lined out?
You just need to hope that engine hasn’t been sitting full of water… change the oil first thing see if water comes out. If it does it’s just like a flooded atv at that point pull the plugs and turn her over a few times. And do not forget to check the air box!!! If there’s no water than you’re sitting pretty. Though the salvage title blows re titling one of those is a pain in the ass.
The cost breakdowns you do are awesome. Puts thing in a real perspective unlike some other UA-camrs who have insane amounts of money in their projects. Looking forward to the next video!
*_This is going to be a really great series!_*
Thank you for following it man!
Love the cost breakdowns. I can see this getting up and running and becoming a present to your dad.
Im on Michael Sabo vids marathon and he drops another one ! What a great day.
Best feeling ever
Enjoying your new video right now at my barber shop congratulations on all your success God has truly blessed you!!!!
This is definitely quality content while waiting for TRI-Z videos. Definitely excited to see how this Corvette turns out
Glad you like the vette series too; TRI-Z videos coming soon 🤘
It's really cool seeing you and your father working together on a project. Can't wait to see the next one
Thank you for the feedback, I'm happy to have him here working with me too.
He said, my name is Private Andrew Malone
And if you're reading this, then I didn't make it home
But for every dream that's shattered, another one comes true
This car was once a dream of mine, now it belongs to you
Had to match the other member some one keep it going
Though you may take her and make her your own
You'll always be riding with Private Malone
Well it didn't take me long at all
I had her runnin' good
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
Im excited to see this series. However, the price of vets has drastically come down the past few months to about $46k in Ohio at least.

This is going to be interesting to watch for sure. Super curious to see what you find!
I appreciate you following along man!
i still cant believe it didnt smell inside, when you first opened the door at the auction lot. talk about a freaking win
I have a feeling you are going to get some interesting surprises. A lot of shops buy cars like this and look for a quick easy flip for maximum profit.

I think you're right - this could be a bigger project than it appears. I'm excited to tear into it; good advice looking into the cylinders etc.
Buyer beware time spent with your father's priceless good luck with the build I'm hooked
More banshee vids after this. Keep it up!
Im not a Corvette guy but I do really like the C6 and C7 platforms. I think this was a good purchase.
Looks absolutely amazing after washing it
Man I’m pumped for this! Waiting for these videos is going to be hard. Can’t wait for the next!

Aesthetically the 2017 Corvette is my favorite, its just so... Yum
Definitely a good looker!
@@MichaelSabo Actually thought the 2017 was the first year of that model until I watched the rest of the video :p
Mike I think you should name this car revenant. It means to be brought back from the dead. And it was an excellent movie
I've seen that movie man! I agree, I need to name the car!
This is the beginning of a great series!
I appreciate you following it!
Old glass guy here.. ALWAYS use a new blade and keep the glass wet when scraping... You can scratch the glass very easily....
Would be cool to fix it up and give it to your dad! With how excited he seems over it
At the very least I've definitely got to get him behind the wheel when it's running!
Man I'll tell you what that car has been all over the place! I can't wait for more videos. It cleaned up nice🤙
I wasn't on board until your old man made an appearance, if this vette means that he's making more appearances on your channel, I'm all in!!

dont mess w flood vehicals especially if its salt water youll have problems till the day u get rid of it

😂😂😂
Samcrac has done some flooded Corvettes on UA-cam that might be helpful to watch. I think he's still working on one that's "in progress".
Blows my mind how that thing still books for basically what it sold for new. Buildbackbetter
Don’t forget the hidden compartment behind the infotainment system.. Hopefully once you have battery power you can open it. Maybe some more goodies in that compartment. Good luck….
Oh, I didn't even know it had that; I'll be checking for sure - thank you!
It the button that says “SCREEN” with the up and down arrows.
A lot of the body modules can be saved. Pull them apart and clean them with contact cleaner and a soft brush
I think you got a fair deal. Paint looks great after the wash. I have a 2019 C7 Grand Sport so you got my attention here. Great that you got a manual transmission. Must have!!!
The C7 Grand Sports are beautiful cars - great taste man and thank you for following my series 🤘
I know you’re better at this stuff than me. But I’m an old school mechanic from way back. I have owned well over 100 cars in my lifetime. I do know one thing for sure. Even if you fix that car back up to factory new, it will still always have a salvage title. Therefore the value will be less as will the market to sell that type of car as a corvette owner myself. I would not buy a salvage/water damaged corvette unless it was a steal. Hopefully you have good luck and are willing to sit with it for awhile. Good luck
You need a new bank! Most banks have free wires and I’m sure with your finances you could qualify for a better bank / account services
I want to say you got a smoking deal but the flooding photos are a bit scary. Im hoping for the best and the car has ended up in the right place. The word that came to mind after the wash.

LETS GOOOOOO...
i got a flooded jeep patriot and i flushed the engine out with diesel gas and flushed the transmission and after all that it still has a clean title lol but it does run like new.
We shall see what lies beneath lol. Helllll yeaaaa brother... LETS GOOOO! 🤘
Sounds like you got a winner man!
Your dad looks ecstatic over that car lol ive never seen him out helping with quads
It's a big part of why I wanted to do this; I'm really happy he wants to help
Keeping it wet and tag teaming it with both hands is key to a great outcome 🤘
Looks like someone did a quick little flip. They took off the interior, washed it, and tried to make it look better so it would sell for higher

Tip of advice. Use the class cleaner while taking window chalk off. I work at a dealership and have scratched a window when not using.

I'm interested in seeing this build. I usually buy and sell a few salvage cars myself and I usually stay from non insurance cars. CDS is Copart Dealer Services and that's where you see 95% of the shady things happening, dealers slapping 2x4 under leafsprings shady haha. There are a few good free websites where you can actually see the exact final bid price for prior auctions as well. Also research it before hand and if you plan to do more well sign up for the membership because you can go visit the local yards and see more cars as well. Happy Hunting out there! Also find a cheaper broker. I used them too when i first started but there are alot cheaper brokers that charge less of a fee and can allow you access to IAAI and even Manheim cars as well if you plan to continue doing it.
Dude this project is going to help your channel grow massively.
Cool video, man. can't wait to see more 🤘
Thank you Kyle!

Thank you for following the series man!
A big question is whether water got into the engine. The waterline was high enough were it looks like a possibility. You'll have to drain the oil and see.
I'm really hoping it didn't or that the salvage company drained it 2 years ago when they bought it. I will find out soon
