I Bought A Camaro SS With A $20,000 ENGINE At COPART!

I just bought an INSANELY modified Camaro SS from Copart Salvage Auction and much to my chagrin, it received a fully build 6.8l LS engine prior to being wrecked!

We did have to pay up to buy this Chevy, so hopefully all the aftermarket parks will let us turn a profit once we strip the car down and sell it for parts!

Have a Salvage Camaro SS/ZL1 or Chevrolet rebuild story of your own? Maybe you've bought a Trashed Mopar to turn into your dream car? Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

It always blows my mind to see people put so much money into the engine and other parts of their car, and cheap out on the tires. Tires should always be the first purchase... They won't just help you with performance, they'll also help make sure your car stays on the road.

I really love the full breakdown of prices and sales. Usually we don't see this. Most of the time they just say they made profit.

[Hype]

Talk about a diamond in the rough. 416 stroker just randomly chillin in the scrapyard. Now that's a score.

[goldinator]

The fact that it still drives is phenomenal

[christian]

Next car I want to see is a Nissan Juke, more specifically Dalt's😂

[christian]

Whoever owned this must've not been happy to let it go

[InFiDViL]

Wow, this car was a sick deal. That LOD intake is $2200 new. Lol, i actually need the e-brake assembly and drivers side door panel he threw away. Person that owned my SS before me must have had a dog, as they end of the e-brake is chewed up and you have to replace the entire assembly.

[Sharky_shark]

I think a dodge viper ACR, or 5th gen would be good for the series because I have seen a lot of Viper swaps recently.

Back in 98 we had the same problem running the haltech . Back then we had to call Australia and 14 hrs for down load also we had to build our own trigger wheel. We were running a vw vr6 12v in a corrado fully built engine. Changed to simple digital and then later wolf 3D no more issues 😂, yeah I feel you bro .

[Ahmed-pnzn]

Nissan GTR would be awesome! Either the imported ones from Japan that's littered in Copart, or the new gen GTR

[cobramustang]

Damn looks like your gonna get a lot of parts! Wow sounds incredible! Still made a decent amount of money.

[danieljagger]

We haven't seen an AMG Mercedes or a BMW M series yet. An exotic truck like a G-Wagon or a Hummer would be cool too. Would you guys ever consider building a chassis-swapped resto-mod? Like a '67 Camaro body on a new ZL1 drivetrain? Or a '65-'67 Mustang body on that RTR drivetrain you just purchased?

[SeeLifeBro]

How about a 2010 Shelby Mustang Gt500 if you can find one wrecked or salvageable there would be tons of value in parts.

[jlakindd]

@13:29 yeah, i bet you guys handled a lot of "shafts" 🤣

E46 M3 next

[jasonchristopher]

Maybe a silly question but what about the gas? We have a smaller business as like urr and we drain, take out fuse for fuel pump, hook up a hose on fuel rail and pump and filter it into cans and use for r work autos, and a few customers will buy. I mean gas here is almost $4 gal. So used gas is better than that. Usually if cars are driven and wrecked tge gas is not stale, bad etc. We always use a bottle of dry gas etc. Here we can't take in any scrap cars with gas in tank, battery, etc. No fluids. Dry.

[nickwells]

Based on the intake I figured it was boosted. Maybe that was the plan but unfortunately it got wrecked. Positive note is that it sounds so good with the muffler ripped off lol. Car doesn't seem total worthy but I guess the age worked against it. Seems like a few thousand to get it looking pretty good.
The stuff y'all leave on the bone will eventually be worth something. Of course this mentality could lead to having a hoarders house lol.

[allengavriyuk]

I was wondering if I can purchase the right rear quarter panel and a few rear sheet airbags I'm only 15 and planning on getting a 2011 2ss

[shiftmotorsports]

Based on those tires, I'm going to guess there was a loss of traction just before the accident

[BisforBoost]

What happen to the Bc coils, never seen them get posted or in your spread sheet
