U can get it for little to nothing bro
Pt cruiser
All those wrecked Corvettes and I still couldn’t afford one of them. Lol 😂 Whaddya Dooo !!!!
I'm with you 10000 percent
Sigh. I love the C6 and C7 the body work would set me back so far. Sheez.
Try Maple Moters. Henderson Tennessee. All they have is The Good Stuff. There on RUclips. Let's go for a ride! 🇺🇸🏁💪💰
@@markwilliams5606 oh yea, I watch them all the time. Really nice classics and some can be affordable no doubt. ✌🏼🇺🇸
And I thought I was the only one that couldn’t afford one.
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan you are not alone my friend. 👍🏼✌🏼🇺🇸
The C7 gran sport would be my choice. I bought my 2014 C7 a year ago. I looked at a rebuilt insurance write off but they were asking the same as the one I bought and my insurance agent said they would insure it but hard to put a value on it after being wrttien off. Sad to see all those cars smashed up.
Here are the trim levels of the first 4 cars @scraplifegarage
1.1LT Grand sport
2:1LT C8 Stingray
3:1LT C8 Stingray
4:2LT C8
Just for your info.. the white GS is a 1LT because it doesn’t has HUD (head up display)
You are definitely right on the frame damage part it’s better for us with frame machine and people with out bc will not bid as high the first corvette seems like a decent fix
Drink every time he says "I'm gonna go out on a limb"! 😂
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you can bet your life in almost every video I make I’m overusing some stupid phrase.
The other day I came across a section of video while editing in which I used the term “obviously” 4 times in 15 seconds 🥴
@@scraplifegarage 😂 It's all good! I host a street car night at the local drag strip, they give me a wireless mic that blasts my bad jokes and silly banter all over the huge grounds... It's awful! 😂😂😂
Props to you for doing it live.
I’m just thankful I get to edit my idiocy before the public sees it.
I haven't seen the video yet, but, I'm going to go out on a limb and say he uses that term a lot?
@@xsterawesome LOL 🤣
Can't believe so many 8s are being wrecked already. I love the 8. But I hope to hang onto my 03 C5 for a very long time.
I’m 20 years old and I’ve also been looking towards a C5 somewhere near the next year and I’ll was just wondering if you didn’t mind how much does she usually run you a year for maintenance and how often do you have problems with her or hear about people having problems with the C5? And if any, are there any well-known problems with the C5 or well-known problems I should look for when I’m looking and ready for getting one from PD?
i read this is 05 c3 and was very confused
I cannot believe Americans win the Darwin Award every year, either.
too much of a car, too deep of a pocket, not enough brains or respect
@@CaffeinatedFrostbite too much caffeine
Mood for life cause once you drive that brand new car off the lot it depreciated buy n sell salvage yes!!!!!
Corvette Warehouse is a dealership in Dallas that sells used corvettes and other vehicles.
I would favor the C5, I just because I like the body style. Can't say anything bad about any Vette but that's still my favorite
I appreciate your down to earth approach with these great cars, looking forward to learn more a get inspired.thank you.
Corvette Warehouse is a local corvette dealership and they have one is Houston as well…
I love Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupes and C1 1957 and 1961with Automatic Transmission & the latest hi - Tech upgrades. On Star, Sirius XM Satellite Stereo, Blind spot indicators and Rearview camera, Front & Rear splash Guards and mud Flaps, Engine- Block heater, Led Dual outside mirrors with turn signal arrows. Blue headlights, tinted Glass & Blue head lights, All weather tires and polished wheel covers. Front bush grille Guard. Keyless entry.Push button start. Cargo organizer tray. 1977 1979 And 1982 C -3, 2003& 04 C5 2014-19 C7.Are my favorite Chevrolet models. ALSO C2 1965 AND 1967 Coupe too
I see some nice bikes in the back👀💯
Would love to get a walk through on those bikes.
The options list is on the sticker in the glove compartment.,,,some Corvette expert.
those 2 black c8 are 1lt. you know because it doesnt have that rear camera on the top of the roof. and it doesnt have the most premium bose audio.
\
so crazy to see glamour shots of c8’s but they’re smashed up a bit
I was pretty excited with that, something about b roll of destroyed stuff does it for me.
I wonder how much a new rear engine c8 sells for if I ever cammed one out I’d love to keep the original stock and stored back just incase I sell the car but have a cammed one in for driving jt
I am loving this content very enjoyable to watch thanks keep the great work up 👍👍👍👍
Happy to hear! It only gets better from here!
There's a yard outside Sacramento that has all the gm parts your gonna need I've rebuilt a few vetted and every time that had what I needed
That C7 GS is too nice to part out. That C6 GS can have the tub sectioned. They have sectioning marks in them ;)
I agree on the C7, it’d be cool to see it fixed. That c6 is getting cut up by someone even if it isn’t us!
i had a C4 for 22 years and i got a C6 last year. difference is night and day. i love the C6
That C7 Corvette is a 1LT Grand sport.
Love the grand sport interior
71 LT1 Corvette. 2 Elderbrock carbs. Put a 5 Speed. Side pipes. Hooker Headers. 🇺🇸🏁💪
Keep up the good work , seen u at racemotive last week 🤝
The first white c-7 would be my first choice if it was the right price
When you see a badge on the seat of a C7 its atleast à 2 LT ...no badge 1LT for sure ...
You didn't pay attention but LOVED the hot red C5.
Love this video on salvaged corvettes
I agree with you really like the white gran sport!
Loving this channel 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello Brad from Columbus Ohio ( Big fan ) last c-6 red bone stock before u pull your charger I hope you roller driver side window up ? You’ve got so much stuff in your mind hopefully your helper saw it ? You’ve got the COOLEST JOB! Keep on Corvetting & be safe out there God Bless
That wing is cool 😎
Hell yeah it’s crammed
When u fix corvetts do u resale them I am looking for a nice car I can drive daily but at a cheaper price then going to dealer car lots
Wow video" glad some of the cars cranked right over" Winner"
Yea that’s definitely a Texas speed or BTR cam. Don’t even know of a different vendor for the LT1 stuff really
Thank you for this, I plan on rebuilding one instead of buying a kit car.
Ever done a follow up video to any of these with auction results and details of why/why not you won the auctions???
I haven’t, typically we win 2 or less, often 0! That’s a great idea.
The only downside is some of those cars run a week after the video some won’t run for a month.
I’ll make it a point to do a follow up video on a trip eventually
Yes, please. Your viewers and views will go up. Or just film the action, many tune into BJ auction just to watch.
1st, 3rd, 6th = yes. I honestly couldn't do this job, I would end up keeping half the cars you work on for personal vehicles lol
It’s a challenge…
@@scraplifegarage I bet, I already have 4, any more and I'll need a warehouse 😆
This one of the most educational yet painful videos to watch as an advid Vette lover.
Good knowledge!
That red C7 would definitely be my pick. Love that generation and the red just looks so freaking nice
I only have two problems with new vettes. 1. Getting in 2. Getting out. Had a '62 and '67 but was younger then.
bro you keep going out on limbs they going to get thin and brake XD
Problem with these cars especially in Canada is all the hassle for inspections, parts, and no minds all going after the same thing driving up the price, then when you go to sell them, the people do not want to pay anything "its a salvage".
The 3 lt red c8 is so long nice on the inside that’s my pick needs a whole front end tho 😂
Had a 84 model 30 years ago with digi dash , biggest piece of scrap i ever owned, 2 autogearboxes in 2 years and loads of Electronic issues. Glad they nicked it in the end🤣🤣🤣
I used to do this when I was in high school..my budget was $ 1000. or less though...It was same kind of fun though.I d grab the gran sport,..Then move on to maybe something like a Lincoln mark 10 . or pontiac solstice ....order up some halibrand pinwheels and get busy on a one off
Those corvettes are sweet 🎂🧁
Minty fresh interior!
Good looks see the vettes
Always more corvettes 🙂✌️💐
7-8 Corvettes at Copart
When I was in high school (late ’60) Corvettes were the car to own if you had the money; status and power. Jump 10 years ahead when I had money to buy a cars, Corvettes where nothing I wanted. Jump to current times and Corvette makes the mid-engine with a almost European Lamboesque look. I like looking at these mid engine ones but...would not buy one.
You make such good videos I will watch a few of these highlighting Vet and see how that goes. I have looked at all of your P-cars videos because I have owned a 1958 356-A Super (1968), SC (middle 80’s), and my current ’86 RestoMod-Outlaw (2019).
- I love how you pick the car apart, looking for the linchpin that will say yes or no to the buy.
- You were talking about frame damage, looks like your black/orange watch has frame damage on it’s face.
- I liked how you summed it up buying damaged C-8’s, “Vet hits pole from the side about 40 m.p.h... scare off most buyers and then pull all that money out of the car.”
- I love the idle “looping” of the engine. HOT cam??!! Aftermarket? I know the sound of a hot sounding cam but I don’t know anything about Vets. Beautiful sound whatever it might be.
- Like most of the Vets I can’t pick one over the other as they all kind of look the same, like a swam of bees, which one is better. BUT this black C-8 (I only know the name because you said it) does have that smart mid-engine and love the exotic air scoops on the side; but still wouldn’t want a Vet.
So I enjoyed this video to get a better understanding of the Corvette brand. I will try another scrape yard video and see if I still have the interest to see another. I would like to see you put a wrecked one back together. I will go back to your play list and see what I can see.

thanks for the video. trying to find the cheapest C8 i can for a project idea.
Can't believe how many new vettes are in the salvage
sounds like a sweet cam
both black c8s are base 1lt models. No heads up display and black speaker grills on doors are giveaways. $60k base msrp on those. Red c8 has gt2 seats, not comp seats, but the gt2 seats are generally more desirable over the comp seats since the comps are not as comfortable for most people. Stingray R package is just a sticker/emblem package. No performance upgrades. Unless you're getting smoking hot deal on any of the c8's, they won't be worth it.
Thanks for the good info! I’m not in the c8 tax bracket so as you can see, I haven’t done my research.. I was thinking of the comp seats from the c7
Copart is the biggest scammers , shilling bids , high fees ,and hiding damage
The international bidding that they allow is absolute bullshit!! Why the fuck should I have to compete with bidders from Ghana, Ukraine, and Dubai??
Copart is the biggest scam. You can't win unless you're prepared to pay $3k over what an undamaged version of that same vehicle would cost.
Fucking scam.
The 1/2/3LZ designation is for Z06 models only. The grand sport is a 1LT. It has no HUD and no heated/vented seats. 5:18
Thanks for clarifying that!
@@scraplifegarage Come to think of it, ZR1 trim levels are 1/2/3ZR.
What kind of background does one need to be able to fix the engine, transmission and body of a car.
Definitely the grand sport.
possibly rebuilding a 2009 Z06 what are the possibilities of finding a rear tub for this car,and rear hatch,right front fender,right front headlight,nose cone,etc but what is listed is the main parts... mostly the rear tub?
love the channel.👍
We will have all of that stuff
wow you guys have come along ways from that small shop off Pulaski
Yes sir!
Red c7 is dope I love c7s
I’d pick the C6 because it’s my dream car
The aftermarket headers 🥵
Hello there, I’m in need of a radio for my 2016 Z06 3Lt Corvette. Would you have one available?
C5 would be a fun fix
I'm a c6 owner but I would like to see the garage do more with corvettes
I'd pick the one with the standard gearbox. Its not a sports car if its missing the third pedal, Its a real estate lady car. BTW my vette is missing the third pedal, for now.
New subscriber here thanks for sharing
Someone put some real love into that Grand Sport…it deserves to live.
I'd take one of the C7s.
Love the c5, get it for me 😉
Can u buy just the engine and certain things to swap and same with the coyote swap
Use to drive by corvette warehouse everyday near Dallas
I’d go with the red C8
Dude that car is hittin damn I like it
Wasn’t it!
I’d kill to have a paved copart lot here in Houston, it’s gravel here so its so dusty 🙄
Awe
Hey! I live in the dfw erea as will. How much would you charge jf someone wanted a car from copart?
The C-7’s in my opinion have the SEXIEST ( other than 1963 split window ) & most bad ass rear end of them all ! With the back glass the Evolution was @ high water mark ! NO DOUBT!!
That auction looks mint, would love to join u sometime!
It’s actually nice to see all those damaged cars. Cars are meant to be used. Run the shit out of them. If you get a couple of dings or worse, great. Drive and enjoy them. Then replace them as necessary. It’s like a BIC lighter. When the spark runs out. Dispose and replace. All plastic crap. Cheers
Please do a video showing us the auction process and how it works! 😊
Check out @scraplifedalt he does a ton of these!
Definitely sounds like a cam.
Great job in the audio video///I will go with the c8////all you got to do is replace the hood in the front end and that's it long as no back damage motor damage frame damage the car is good that will be my choice////especially when it has red interior ////put my money on that car!!!!👍💰💰💰
Man I want a vette so bad!!!
I have been saving for some time now and I'll keep saving up my money
The wheel spacing/alignment on the front tires of the white grand sport corvette is way off. Left side is sticking out a lot further than the right side lol
Do you ever sell parts from your salvage buys? I need a headlight heatsink but not the entire headlight.
Unless we had a damaged headlight come in we would sell them complete
@@scraplifegarage Do you have any damaged or whole and what is the price?
These still aren't selling for cheap considering they're all salvaged... inflation and popularity of these type pf cars ain't bringing the prices down. You'd be shocked to see how much these still fetch even after being bapped!! I had a friend bought a bapped 2017 hellcat charger with front end damage, coagulated blood and bullet holes in it for 36k at the salvage auction! That ain't cheap at all..
Might as will get a used one, if prices ever go back to normal 🫤
That Friend must be a Moron..i payd for my rebuilt c6 in 2017..10k..prices now are inflated,they will drop soon,when the Economic Crisis kicks in,from Putins War...🤔🤣🇺🇸🇪🇺
Build a scat-cat
I agree not cheap at all considering i bought my 2016 Hellcat in feb 2019 with 1.778 miles for $46k ,granted it took me almost 2 years to find the right car at the right price ,but at that time 2016's and 2017s with 5k miles or under were very obtainable for $48-$52k ,So for a trainwreck car at 36 vs my garage queen at $46 ,i would never pay that 36
Love my 71 LT1. Corvette 🇺🇸🏁
I’d like a c7.
You and me both!
It's been like an year, and so many messed up c8s. I wonder if they're still paying it off. But hey if you want a cheap track monster 👻
why would they? those cars are all fully insured and totaled out lol.
Cheap? Maybe in your dreams. Totaled like that and these cars are still bringing in some big money.
Someone’s insurance premium likely went to payoff an idiot C8 owner. Feel better?
Hey there's a Avalanche 😍😍😍
I would take the C7 and repair it and keep it.
None of these new Corvettes have the beautiful curves of the old Corvettes (and no, I'm not talking about those 80s and 90s door wedges). A 2018 Z06 is beautiful.
