The latest and greatest Corvette? The C8 Z06 of course! Austin and I hit the salvage auctions to find a few solid Corvettes to buy, some for parts, some fixable... From Cammed C5 Vettes, to supercharger C6 Z06's this trip has it all, including the new Corvette king the C8Z!
The only question we have now? How can we buy ourselves a C8 Z06!
Have a salvage Corvette rebuild story of your own? Maybe you're building you're flipping a Z06 or ZR1 and putting me to shame? Put it in the comments!

#CORVETTE #C8 #SALVAGE
You should have had Rob make a cameo appearance... Though I'm sure it was fun driving that thing around to the different auctions.
Besides the car content, your guy’s chemistry on camera is great keep it up !
I won the bid on the red c6 z06, you guys were definitely right with the hidden damage but the car is in the process of being rebuilt onto a new undamaged chassis
You don't have any page were one could follow that build would you? Genuinely interested in seeing what that vette is all about!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the public !
love salvage auction videos.
That c8 is even the color ive been drooling over 😮
That thing must be badass u know the two of them beat the living sht out of it I still remember Travis first x games like it was yesterday legend
Damn Englishtown's Raceway Park is looking so different from the times I used to go there, now a co-part parking lot. SMH
🤣🤣🤣 you got lucky fellas I was thinking your gonna get clocked over the ton if your not careful it’s not like you can’t here it coming 🤣 👍
Just found your channel, love it. You got a new subscriber ❤
Wooo another video! Love these, I'm trying to get a Honda s2000 from Copart one day
22:56 Famous last words! LMAO
Ridge wallet is my go to and besides a small issue, they’re great.
LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Id love to have that first c6, that drivetrain would fit nice into my c10 XD
Guys like you compete against me at copart. but doesn't matter.. still built a ridiculously fast 00 frc with 03 z06 "heads/cam/headers/x-pipe drivetrain. The frc had no engine and was bought at a dealer auction in east Texas.. Both cars and my previous C5 knowledge/set-up/ thirst for power created something rare, fun and hellcat/ zl1 disappointer. Will dyno tune it soon and work on suspension and brake improvements. Really like running bikes and teslas though. All for under 10k and a solid 40-50 hours of personal wrench time.
Sounds badass, hopefully it’ll put down something in the mid 400s, my barely modded Z put down a little over 360 with 130k plus miles, the frc/z is one of the most fun cars ever made for the money
awesome guy is time to make some video binding in the car auction
We love our LIE Nassau County Hwy Patrol.
The rapid blue C8 front looks good you have to remember it has front lift 😂🤣 from the factory just lower it back down and it's fine.
Love your Corvette coverage!
Love The Vettes, The Juke needs to Go, Maybe sneak it into the Scrap Dumpster when he is not Looking, Then Tell him to get a Real Car !!!
Last red one at Medford Auto Wreckers... and it's ON Long Island...not IN it.. ;-)

I'm a GM certified tech and I could fix that blue corvette easily my friend,and I'm from Baltimore,Living down south but would move to work for you guys
Love the vid. When are we going to see more content with the Z-28? How about the 3000 GT? Those are my favorite cars on the channel.
Probably parts that’s why they wanna get it all done in one vid
Guys, what's up with the 997? It's been so long since last...
Love you guys!
I love the cop at the end "with this?!?!"
Just buff out the C5; add a little JB Weld and duct tape and you are set! ;)
Juke life is the realest life, all this other stuff is just commuting.
Interesting, that C8 Z06 came from Matick Chevrolet in Michigan.
That was a rental at CarHub in nyc seen it there
I had a Grand Sport the same color SuperSonic Blue
It's a shame they turned Englishtown raceway Park to a auction site ☹️
Such a cool channel thx gents
That blue C8 Corvette looks like they tried to make it fly and it did it pretty hard nose dive.
Lol I didn't think bout that
You got lucky, Nassau county high way gave you a warning for jumping the HOV.
And on the front, driver side, inside that vent...is the Manuel release
You got a nice cop, lucky! Normally you get the type that gives a ticket no matter what you say unless you have a PBA card.
You at Gotham rental car Rob place when you said New York i won a bet ...thanks
So if you try to start a vehicle @ 1 of these auctions and something goes wrong are you liable for the damage ?
C5 sounds 200% better than the new Acura 😂😂
At rest, true. But at full song, that flat crank DOHC ROARS!
Under rated channel
yo its rob ferretis Z06 lol
Crazy that you were at my branch and never even saw you guys
You work at Englishtown lot? If so, can you shoot me a message on IG? There is a car there I wouldn’t mind an extra few picture of. Thanks!
Being from Bowling Green and having watched a C7 roll off the assembly line, seeing vettes this destroyed so far from home is a bit sad haha
Would love to see more mustangs or hellcats but regardless I love the videos
Great video keep up the amazing work👍🏾
dang i need that yfz. Thats the newer model.
C6 Grand Sport is a perfect 200MPH flying mile project car !
Haha welcome to Nassau county and the I495 lol
Livin the dream!
7:30 someone definitely died in there
And if they didn't, they probably wished they did.
I love my c5 with Corsa exhaust
Is that Mr. Spaghetti’s Gotham Z06?
Sure looked like it
Dang I was hoping you were gonna rip on the Yamaha 450 lol
You guys have any OEM C5Z front wheels in stock?
What dealership did you get that Sebring Orange from for $250k. MSRP fully loaded is under $180k unless the dealer is adding a huge surcharge.
Hello from the UK 🇬🇧
That silver Z06 looks like it lateralled into a narrow object at triple digits. Wonder how the driver faired.
Even without power... There's a key,in the fob. To open the door, where the blade is
Vtuned just fixed a c8 and I believe the parts were surprisingly cheap.
is that Rob Ferrettis rental Corvette?
C5 rocks
Any chance that we are going to see the bidding? Next video, maybe? Thanks?
What are you using for your rear camera?
I’m in for a set of oem c5 zo6 wheels!
21:22 Stinkray
Holy sh*t that pipe in the drivers face neck area!
Every time I pulled apart a car as bad as that c5 z06 there was damage to the block or something major in the driveline cracked
Which fuse do I need to pull?
Dalt the beanie makes you look like a Nissan juke owner
Lmfao 🤣 😂
Its a rare club. Once you buy yours, let me know and I'll send over your beanie.
How can you get me those computation seats in the red C8 ?
You grossly overstated the price of the Z06 you were driving. Today it’s rare to find a dealer selling it for $100,000 over MSRP. The true average price of a brand new one at a dealership would be well under $200,000 today.
still....200k for a corvette. It's stupid
Looking at a wrecked car and saying this doesn't look good... The commentating is just hilarious
Sorry guys it's not me, it's you! I always give a thumbs down rating to click bait. Good video with a lot of good info in wrecked cars.
Sorry I meant to say you guys V tuned did C8 Eight
You may be quoting a flipper's price on that Z06 at $250K. The MSRP of a C8 Z06/Z07 is around $175K. I believe that's what Austin (Speed Phenom) KZheadr paid for his.
Corvettes 🎉
That blue C8 Must be street speed 717's
Rented the Z06 from Gotham , NICE!
Did u see the batmobile
Hey scraplife if you would get a Lexus IS 350C I need some parts they are rare and parts are hard to come by (white interior) I need carpets and seats
19:01 R U S T
Update on the demon bro? Been waiting like forever
What salvage auction is this? Copart?
If you want to film the interior better, use a polarized lens for your camera.;
I have 2 C8 exhaust if you want them.
Buy the red and blue c8s and take the blues engine and put it in the red one
You didn’t “fix” the tub on the other car. You threw some band aids at it. They weren’t even the good fabric band aids.
C5 sounded badass
If you want to sleep fast watch this channel😴😴
C5 sounds better. C8 is cool don’t get me wrong but, I love the sound of the traditional American V8 vs flat plane
What location
My dad has the exact same wallet but doesn’t have a key thing
Where is that Auction, looks like an old dragstrip ?
Lucky he didn't see to shady dudes and come out shooting. LOL
you found the golden ticket 🧐
Buy the blue and red and put the engine from the blue car into the red car
you keep saying these z06 are $225,000 they're not. $120,000 to 135,000 which is still way...too much but it's not a quarter million.
They’re not selling for MSRP, they are pretty much all sold with markup right now.
Add the salvage title and it's only worth 60% of the value of a clean title car
@@felonysounds it’s not a salvage, they rented it
That grand sport is what I was talking about, he said it would be worth a lot. I understand what you meant, I should of clarified a little better
Curious, are you allowed to show the "actual" auction bidding?
