I Bought A TOTALED Camaro ZL1 1LE CHEAP At Salvage Auction!

The only thing better than buying a new Camaro ZL1 1LE for Salvage Stories? Getting it WAY cheaper than you expected at salvage auction! I was shocked to see the bid on this 6th Gen Camaro ZL1 1LE close so low, but it raised a serous concern... Did I miss something???

Either we're going to make a TON of money on this Supercharged LT4 monster or everyone else saw something I missed, but there's only one way to find out... After an unknown driver gives it a smokey little test run..

Today we also debut the NEW Salvage Stories High Score board!

My heart broke mins into the video …I thought he was gonna fix this ZL1😢

[firider]

I would have given one of my nuts for a zl1 in that shape. It was very rebuildable still with it being straight. This is a dream car of mine.

[fastnick]

LT4’s can crank for a while. They won’t fire until all the parameters are right. Like the DI fuel pressure etc. It happens if they sit for a while. Looks like a decent car for sure

[JimNichols]

I watched till about 8:04 then bailed when you pulled the engine and trans and I saw those beautifully straight frame There were actual tears, no really, tears because that was a very repairable monster of a car... :(
Gotta pay the rent I know. Love the channel and the mechanicing, wrench turning skills and also appreciate the time involved in conceptualization, scripting, videoing and editing that goes into these productions ... Peace out brother.

Even heavily damaged still stays alive

[paulpichler]

Oh man, I really hopped you would fix it. Damage doesn’t seem too bad.

[gilbertwashburn]

That Camaro is awesome you can take that to the hoopti show plenty of those just make sure it's safe and all the lights working drive it don't bother fixing it I love it don't have to worry about dense or scratches have a great day my buddy just bought a 27 Packard sedan hasn't run since 68 if it's a nightmare have a great day

[Ken-bjce]

Yup, nice deal guys. That's why many watch and use Copart auctions, you can get the car you want, and especially if you have a nice shop to repair it.

[mattmatthews]

Don't turn the dipstick upside-down when checking the oil, it can give a false reading.

[AndresHernandez-hhvm]

Really detailed lol very entrataining. I hope YouTube brings you the profit you deserve

[neu]

Bought a salvaged title 2017 A8 SS for 4750 in like 2019. Took me a while to fix it up but turned out to be a great car. Put about 15k of parts and labor into it, upgraded lights to a 2018, got some nice custom rims, painted it mustang orange and had an orange interior, front was a ZLE and fit a ZL1 hood on it (debaged it), put a Borla ATAK all ebay finds. Covid came by and sold it with a salvaged title for 27.5k. The camaros bring great money.

[joshcardone]

Lol love it. My 2015 SS was just stolen and found stripped on Oakland CA. I had about 7 grand into mods. My car was spotless and in pristine condition. I miss my camaro

[bliz-]

It looked like this coulda been a rebuild other than a parts car, unless there was frame damage but nice flip as always

[MrGman]

To all those lamenting this car was not being repaired? The parts were worth $44k. What would it have been worth as 'damaged => repaired'? They made $11k margin, so they would need to make $55k plus the cost of repairing it to make it worth repairing, which they could not possibly do. So it was sold as parts. The sad part was when it was totaled. Once that happened, breaking it up is the only sensible thing to do.

[donsmith]

I missed my calling! 50 years ago, I had a vision of a business like this! All my family told me to quit dreaming and get serious about your life. And here it is, love watching you follow your heart and making a great living at it!

[kickit]

I am surprised you didn't put the passenger quarter panel complete section up for sale!

[TheEverydayLifeNetwork]

This makes me want to keep my ZL1 1LE. So many ZL1’s getting destroyed and parted out. Plus they are done making these!!

[anthooony]

This was a top 5 YouTube salvage video. Can’t wait to hear about how you ship your parts 😅
