So you are basically looking for a salvage flood car without any engine or interior and other damage. You should check out a dealer near you, because a new car is what you are looking for.

Be careful starting flood cars as you really should pull the spark plugs out before you crank the engine. Even if water gets inside you can pull the spark plugs out and get the water out and drain the oil most of the time you can save the engine. If you try to start them with the water in the engine you run the risk of bending a rod.

It’s amazing how open Copart is to free advertising but as a used car dealer that buys lots of units will not let me view more than 3 with and escort. And forget about a sublot never getting into there. Let’s also not forget that when you purchase a offsite unit it’s a nightmare.

To get the frunk open on the Porsche, open driver side door, look under the dashboard to the left and open fuse panel. You will see a red plastic cover among the fuses. Pull that red lever back and connect the positive clamp from your jump box. Then connect the negative to door hinge. Hit the frunk button and your good to go.

Once the water gets into control modules and wiring it is game over. I worked for Mercedes as a tech, I've seen flood cars and repairing them is very expensive and NOT WORTH IT. This is the reason why they are totaled by the insurance. However, buying a car like this for parts or heavy modifications, then I can certainly see the point.

That Evo would have been cool too see on the channel. Love all the super car stuff but it’d be fun to see some alternative stuff here and there like the old days.

The 911 can be customized on the website to say whatever you want.

I would definitely check the oil on cars before starting them . You will kill the bearings fast if they are milk shakes

[trentonhamilton]

Imagine the tears shedded from all of the owners who lost these cars

[malachiwilliams]

Don’t worry the range rover electronics is how the car comes out the factory 🤣

[tetreaulthank]

The corvette was probably hydro locked, now will have bent rods. Perfect !

[mikehalgrimson]

so hard to believe the owners of the cars would leave them to get flooded. my mustang would be the first thing to be moved to higher ground at any sign of an oncoming flood

[bgcarguy]

On the Blue Supercharger Camaro, most batteries for drag cars like that would be located in the trunk, I’ve worked with drag cars before, On the Chevelle hood, I have heard from multiple people that you can open it by pulling a lever behind the bumper but it depends on the year

[DigiDaniel]

The Evo 10 was my personal favorite. And being a 2015, that was the FINAL year the Evo was made. I definitely would have gave it a bid lol. Would have been cool to see on the channel! You two need more JDM cars in the mix lol

[dwaynelasater]

A lot of times at these and any vehicle auctions, some shady characters will pull a wire or do something to make a car run rough or not start at all just so they can get it cheap.

[valentinomallanao]

If the car is flooded first thing to do is never never try to start the engine, tow the car bring to autshop open the hood clean the engine dry thoroughly simple….

I just came across your posting/video reviews for the first time and I gotta say as an old guy I'm so dam impressed by your knowledge of cars... not to mention your enthusiasm about cars period! As a kid I grew up in Michigan with a dad that not only worked at a GM factory but also had a small auto repair business that did work on all cars but specialized in Corvairs after GM discontinued making them in 1969. Pops was known as the Corvair guy in the small town I grew up in. Fast forward to my early 20's, I moved to Los Angeles in the early 80's to further my career in shopping center development, design, and construction. After living most of my adult life in LA and more specifically the last 10 - years, I have found that there are not many "young guys" that are into cars or car culture. Back in the 80's the Asian imports were really popular here especially given all the 80's movies that featured them. No one can forget LA car culture back in the 50's & 60's. However, with the advent of electric cars over the last 10 - 20 years, car culture amongst young guys seems to have almost disappeared here. I have many friends and neighbors with driving age young sons that have absolutely no interest in even getting a driver's license let alone getting their first car as a "fixer upper" to work on in their parent's garage after school/work each day. The San Fernando Valley and South Bay were hubs of car culture "back in the day". At 14 years old I found my first car in a farmer's front yard siting on four flat tires with a blown engine for $25 bucks. I got one of my buddies that had their driver's license to help my tow the 1964 Corvair back to my dad's auto repair shop where Pops taught me how to rebuild the motor and any other components that needed help. He then repainted the Corvair in its original Burgandy color. Fortunately, the interior just needed a good scrubbing. I redyed the faded carpet and the ole Corvair looked almost brand new! That is until I let a girlfriend try driving it which resulted in her hitting an adjacent parked 64" Mustang owned by a fellow student! My insurance paid to fix both cars however, Pops made me do all the work except the spray painting and pocketed the insurance money. Of course, that was to teach me a lesson about who you let drive your car! So, either I got way too old or living at the beach has insulated me from whatever car culture remains in Southern California. With that background I have to say it brings a smile when I see young guys that appear to "breath & eat" cars and know them so well as you do! Thank you for the enjoyable videos! Good luck on your future auction finds!

I work at a Mini dealer in Jersey and it was insane how many flood cars we got as soon as Ida hit. Our service lot went from half full to overfilled with mostly flood cars We even had people come in months after claiming they don’t know why their car is acting up but it was clearly flooded.

I am a rebuilder too, the mold on the z06 seat doesn't mean it got that high. I had a new civic get a couple of inches on the floorboards and by the time they looked at it 2 weeks later, the interior was full of surface mold. Never judge a book by the cover.

The range rover made me laugh. Its apparently designed to wade water up to the footwell level!
Keeping the RR reputation for the most unreliable car ever.
