The best deal IMO was the Green BMW M3. What do you think the best deal was???
I LoL'd at your initial response to the suggestion that it had common parts bin parts to the standard 3 series.
@@_Yep_Yep_I'm saying the body structural stuff is mostly regular 3 series
The Chongqing Future Champion was definitely the best deal at $20! You didn't give a price on that red Corvette at the end, so I'm thinking you bought it. ;)
What kind of idiot pays $1500 for a literal pile of ashes?
Indeed, what was the sale price on the 60’s corvette!?
I don't normally like the salvage yard videos but adding the final sold price for each vehicle definitely makes it more interesting.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@Samcrac 100% agree
I love that you put the actual sale price. I always wonder what they end up going for.
Agreed, I watch too many channels where they look over copart and find out they never tell what they went for...
Agreed. So often channels never tell us. Sams step mum brought him up well, that’s why he shared the prices!👍🍻🤣
Except the Hell Cat and C2 Corvette. He didn't give the sale price of those two.
@@tony_25or6to4 yeah true. I saw that after I posted
@@tony_25or6to4 Hed did for the Hellcat at 21:48 and i guess he bought the C2 or is bidding on it.
The old corvette will never be worth less. Will only increase in value over time. Plus all the hard work has been done.
Only if the paint was done right
@@Gtrips07 and as long as Sam doesn't put gold wheels on it, LMAO!!
64 Vette and the white 2012 mustang
The Boomers are the only thing keeping 50s-70s US sports/muscle car prices up. Gen X doesn't want those old POS.
@@Christoph-sd3zitrue. Same thing happened to cars from the brass age. Then the 20s and 30s. As the collectors die...so does the prices. The only ones that are keeping their value or increasing are Dusenbergs and any Ferrari until the 1990s.
I'm a huge McLaren fan but paying $228,000 for a salvage titled one is insanity.
**Tavarish joins the chat**
People should not be scared of the title. There are people who buy the cars for the shape their in. This one will probably go on export to the Jordan/UAE/Iraq.
@@Jonas-ou6ov I'm not saying to be scared of a title, but the reality is that it costs more to insure and the resell value drops drastically. Also, if you have $228k to throw at a salvage car, you probably have $20,000 more to throw at a slightly used one with a clean title.
not insane, stupid Whoever bought it is simply stupid.
McLaren could have bought it. Trying to keep people like Tavarish from buying them.
Sam I really liked the way you showed cars and what they sold for. It was better than your regular video set up. Like to see more of this videos.
Did I miss something, how much did the vintage Corvette go for? That car was beautiful, interior was gorgeous! Someone better make sure it doesn't leak anymore though, and they better dry that water up. I hope the reason you didn't put the price up was because you bought it. If that's the case, you got one beautiful car there.
The lack of a price probably meant that they bid on it. It's literally THE perfect project car for his channel.
It was the only car I couldn't get a sales listing for. Usually that means it hasn't gone up for sale, but in this case it looks like maybe they completely pulled it from the auction 😢
@@Samcrac - It didn't really make sense that it was there. I didn't see any damage worth totaling it for. Not sure what year it was, 65-66ish, but it's probably worth at least $50k. A slashed top does not equate to that. Maybe it was a saltwater flood? Or maybe it's not salvage afterall.
@@Samcrac Boo. Such a sweet vehicle.
15:50 McLaren *DUST* 🤣
Good to see you and Sage together again! That was some sharp cars too!
I was worried Sage left a couple of months ago as he was missing from a couple of episodes, I'm glad that he's still around, I kinda like him. Both of those Corvettes were really cool, I hope you could get one of those at least! I'm a bit bummed you didn't look at the red C7 Corvette next to the red Tesla. Keep 'em Corvette content coming! If that C8 is damaged on the front, the engine is unharmed, if there's no serious frame damage, that could be a quick fix!
So by not listing the sale price of the old Corvette, I'm guessing that Sam has bought it and will be featured in up and coming videos???😉🤞
He already commented that it wasn't up for sale.
This was an awesome series with the cars and the prices shown as sold. Keep them coming. It’s good to get off the farm….
Adding the sales price makes these videos even better. Keep it up.
You deserve a comment for including the sale prices. Nice work.
I appreciate that!
Great video…..loved the price info. Please do it again sometime, great interaction!
The Toyota pickup on rear of the old Corvette may of have had been worth looking into as they are quite highly desirable in the single cab configuration. The old Corvette as well mainly because they don’t make them any more. Have a good one!
1:05 - One of the FUNNIEST segways to a commercial ever. that hit the nail, perfectly. lolllll
That rap on the C8 is nasty! Who would do that to a new car, must be sick.
The front plastic of the motorcycle is called a fairing
Antique Corvette!! You can do it Sam!! C'mon! I really want to see what you do with that car!
@14:50 Call Tavarish! Guaranteed he will buy that McLaren. 😂😂😂
As a former broadcaster, that was the very best segueway into a commercial ever.
This was a fun video and really like you showing the price they sold for. That antique corvette is amazing!
Awesome video! Def the Corvette! Great to have Sage back in the vids!
So many motorcycle and classic scooter shops I know do their best work after midnight 🦉 No walk-ins No phone calls. Great talk through by both of you as usual 👏 👏
Sam, keep the copart walks coming AND the selling price that's awesome. Since I started watching your channel i myself have perused coparts in my area which are 6 within a few hour drive.
Good to see Sage back.
This guy is youtube's Adam sandler😂
Good old junkyard walkaround love it!
Love this style of episode Sam
That vintage that was definitely the best thing you showed. I I love the sleeper hellcat. Cherry on top would be a Widebody. Can’t believe what that rolled over TRX went for. As well as the McLaren..both of them if you include the dust one.
Love the auction videos!
Glad you like them!
I love the way you find hope for every awesome wrecked car!
Great video. I have to go with the 60's Corvette unless it unrealistic. Can't wait for your next video.
The memories these two have and will have is priceless. I wish I knew my dad or had a guy like Sam around here in Chicago. People suck. 😂
Providing some of the SOLD prices was excellent.
Always impressed with your ability to weave a sponsorship into your scripts- seamless. I would go with the Vette. Sure, parts might be hard to fine, but mechanically so much more straightforward and basic.
You do know that corvette didn't catch on fire by the post office, right?
@@watcher13th People are so naive :D
Which Vette? He showed 4 of them.
The Red 60's corvette is totally awesome!
That “C2” Corvette would be THE one for me to choose as well. Nice.
Fun fact he was waiting online at a government run facility so long, that it cost him a corvette.
Oh, you were at Copart on 301? I live less than a mile from there. My nephew totaled his SRT 4 but he pulled the drivetrain and put it into a convertible PT cruiser.
Sometimes I forget this is just an infomercial channel because there's actually automotive content as well. (I meant that as a joke BTW, because of your ability to seamlessly integrate the promos with the content, which takes talent). Also the dual clutch on my X3 BMW sucks, so a manual is definitely a bonus. I hope you bought the old Vette. The new one would make a great project though.
That red corvette is absolutely beautiful
Good video, thanks for showing the prices. People walking around a yard without posting prices is kinda worthless to fantasy rebuilders
AMEN to that statement
Love that you took the time to put what each sold for.
The K1200RS was a great deal for $550 if it was just the front fairing that was broken.
Loved the vintage corvette especially the red interior!
15:04 - A little bit of elbow grease and that should buff right out.
thanks for sharing, 2 thumbs up
Srt4 neons are so fun to drive I miss mine so much it was that exact color 😢
The Classic VETTE for sure
Tell LeeC about that corvette. He'll either part it out or rebuild it. Love the demon he just rebuilt
Old Corvette would be my buy. Thanks. Great videos as always.
if you did win that classic vette from the auction i would watch the whole restoration series on it...
Love your new corvette Sam 👊🏼
I saw Alex’s big conversion van in background. @5:42 peeled paint and all. 😂
What a stamps lead in there....lol pure class!
Forget the C8. Stay away from the supercars, Sam. Not enough profit margin and all that computer crap. Way too much headache. Do the old vet. Easy profit, and no headaches.
The C2 Vette 💯 Has to be a 65 or 66 (3 gills on the fender) Dad had one in the 70's & had to sell it back in the day to pay da bills. I still have the chrome shift knob from that car 40+ years later.
Love the corvette owner roast WITH ad tie-in DUDE 😂
Seems to be two main catagories of buyers for these - those that are looking for projects to re-build for personal use or profit, and those looking for cheap 'donor' vehicles for brake/suspension/running gear/interior/other upgrades on a lower spec' car.
2:26 The firefighters went to town with the angle grinder. 😂
red stingray is beautiful, I would use that as a daily driver 😍
Awesome job putting the price they sold for. 👍
Subscribed because you actually put the price these sell for
Lmao! The post office Vette was the best ad transition, ever.
That 60s (66?) Corvette all damn day!
I like that you’re putting the prices on what the cars sold for
Vintage Vette is definitely the one to do. Lots of available parts and a broad sales market, comes down to acquisition price to be in the money.
The vintage Corvette for sure Sam 👍🇬🇧
Love that Corvette
go for the c2 if you can buy it right two potential expensive areas are paint ant the frame check for rust
That was by far the smoothest segue into a sponsored bit ever.
would love to see a video on that old vette
Im a Mopar guy so that hellcat charger would be sweet, but that 67(?) Vette was an awesome project to and didn't look like it needed much
I like the seeing the sales prices.
Bruh Goonzquad needs to get this build ASAP :D 😂😂😂😂
Having a pockets full of cash that place would be a blast!
Dude your add tie ins are chefs kiss, LoL
It has to be that old corvette 😍
I have a 1979 vette, its in great shape, price has doubled since I bought it . I know that as Hagerty my insurance tells me value. That red vette is mint, would love to know what it goes for..looks to be complete and parts are available
I had a 69 Skylsrk with the the wing window with a manual handle..a few GM cars had them
6:38 looks like a sideshow c8 the damage is super low so possibly a curb.
That C2 is definitely my type of project.
The McLaren pile of dust - one of best convertibles ever seen on KZhead!
Is that the right BMW for Hoovie's manual gearbox search?
I notice on the SRT the windshield was smashed where the VIN plate would be presumably to remove it easily
I saw your C4 corvette that Florida will not let you repair and reregister. When I was living in LA, one of my bosses purchased a totaled Porsche 911. He rebuilt the entire car, went to court to show it is road worthy. Porsche Corp tried to shoe up to court to protest, but they did not get to the correct court room. Since no one showed up to protest, the court granted my boss to get clean title from California DMV. You might try this way!
Love your content Sam personally I’d go with the sleeper hellcat fast but practical and plenty of room for the step mum ❤
That was the smoothest intro into a commercial I have seen in a while.
I like it, totalled before it got to the accident 😂, I'm going to start saying the same to all Vauxhall insignia drivers with the a20dth lump, I'm not even going to refer to it as an engine,awesome video man ✌️ ♥ 🎸 🍻
I WOULD GET THE OLD CORVETTE, LOOKS NICE.
The Corvette C2.... What a car!😍
6k for a 5.0 drivetrain and clean parts to sell to recoup sounds like the best deal to me. Pull the motor and put it in something and sell the shell as a parts car
My pick also. Saw the engine in my new edge and part it out to recoup funds.
Sam, what’s up with the 1990s airplane headphones?
The classic Corvette buy buy buy!!!
The old corvette is the gem of the bunch.
What about the white ferrari at vtuned garage? Would be great with some kind of closure 😊
Peanut butter guts HAHAHAH sage is wild
hey Sam you should do a motorcycle fix n flip and see how it goes?
Old corvette is a winner!!!!
