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

What do you get for the chassis that I've seen hauled away?

But you can restore it??

Is the rear spoiler for sale?

This car belonged to a Brazilian in the past that lives in US and already had Lifters failure.

p 4:37

its sound advice, why cheap out on the one thing that is in constant contact with the road? same with brakes.

@@chazzcoolidge2654 I think most people just think "I've got serviceable tires, so it's good enough", failing to realize how big of a difference good tires make from good enough tires. They also see them as a "consumable" item, so they don't want to spend more on something that they will have to pay for again in the future. None of that logic makes sense when you consider how much tires do, but that's what goes through people's heads.

This was obviously someone that was going to takeover events and burning through tires. Why else would have have nice tires up front and cheap ones in the rear

All that power means nothing if it doesn't hook.

probably swapped out and kept the aftermarket wheelss they bought for it

My thoughts exactly. Somebody pissed this went insurance

They weren't happy when they let it go into a wall that's for sure..

Classic t-bone here 😂😂,what a shame

they probably where in a hospital, in most cases people pull the engine and then just dump anything in the engine bay and i mean dump not even attached to anything just a visual for insurance and pics them they get paid on the car in stock form and they still have there engine or whag ever was aftermarket

Eh. They got paid out or they wouldn't have given it to the insurance company. I'd bet they're not hurting if they kept receipts.

Texas speed 418 stroker , ported LSA heads , BTR 400ci+ cam ... and so on 🥲

Anything can be a liability if you make it lol there’s big money in airbags they go for 300 bucks a pop depending on what vehicle even more .

I think i paid $1600 for this one , and did the install myself ( the guy who bought it for LOD ended up not insgalling it on his car)

I was checking the comments after that comment to see if anyone put the obligatory "that's what she said".

I was thinking they might’ve kept the drag pack they had on and just threw on some stocks they had around

​@@bartsimpson6266this for sure

@@bartsimpson6266 my thoughts too. 3 different tires and 2 that match have camber wear. A shop will happily give you used shit tires since they have to pay to dispose of them.

American parts are easier to find European parts are harder.

It was well taken care of when i owned it , it only had 1k miles on the build when i sold it 1 year ago

they are incredibly rare in the USA

I've had a couple of third gens and the carbureted ones still had mechanical fuel pumps on the front of the engine. (at least in 84 and 86 models)

I didn’t know this either. My 4th gen has the hole cut for it. I’m going to look up a fuel pump swap on a 6th gen now.

Costs more money... They don't care about convenience or ease for repair, even for dealer techs. That whole "They design it so they make more to have to bring it in" is hog wash. Dealers aren't manufactured owned anyway. They just roll the dice and hope there is no recall or TSB that would cost more than if they had. When you are talking millions, a couple cents adds up, "Then charge a dollar more to the customer", They do, but they also want to save that dollar and make it 2 in their pocket!

@@johnpoteat9774 correct, even in those years you still had to deal with the sending unit though and they've been a common failure item since the 70s on GM cars. Luckily most people didn't cut the tray for just the gauge not working and preferred to just leave it non functional. My dad's 72 Pontiac Catalina he left me had the sending unit die with less than 25k miles on it after it left the dealer.. It's now at 72k and still non functional and has left me on the side of the road at least a half dozen times with it's 11mpg highway and 7 city. The special option 400 it has was only put in 1% of the production of Catalina and it's basically a ram air iv restricted and tuned for a better torque curve with a different intake, carb, and exhaust manifolds. It's a stout engine but it gets old not having a gas gauge with how it chugs fuel. 🤣 Still not annoying enough to go through dropping the damn boat anchor of a gas tank though.

@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 there really isn't any cost difference involved here. When you are buying steel by the ton at the quantities GM is and paying for tooling to produce millions of cars the cost to add that feature to the press dies and the extra 10x10" or so of metal is so tiny you're talking fractions of fractions of a cent. There are plenty of reasons companies do things like this and in many cases it's due to compromising rigidity of the panel or the possibility of it starting to allow water and fumes to ingress as the seam sealer ages or from repairs where it wasn't resealed at the end.

​@@takay_the_loko wait... you're not kidding!!! Do you know what happened to the car to end up in this state? & why did you sell it?

Seems like it wasn't really the plan with those rear gears.

Dead inventory and the space can be used for what is worth something now. But as he said, the body and dash are mass produced and are the exact same as a base model. Maybe if the color was model specific or rare but you don't ever see that with American manufactures really unless it is a very special and limited edition.

It wasn't boosted , but i did build it with the intention on boosting it eventually

Usually with disassembly/ resell places larger parts like that don’t sell often and take up a lot of floor space in a warehouse.

As well as shipping is expensive, cancels out the "cheaper" factor. Can list them locally right when you get the vehicle and if a buyer swings through before scrapping I suppose. But need to weigh out the ROI, Its not so black or white.

Because theyre stupid. They bring good money already pulled. List em for $200 and someone will GLADLY come grab it and sit on it and sell it for $500+ in a few weeks and make their money too...especially the dashes. Already pulled ones with no blown bags are EASY sells at $300 for camaros ALWAYS with the v8 gauges

Considering i drove this camaro in snow a lot , it doesn't have much rust at all

What Camaro won Le Man's? If you are referring to the recent run of a modified Camaro it didn't win. It did race yes.

@@jostrander71 well it’s been shown on many sites and many other reports have stated it won its series at 24 hours. I never said it wasn’t modified as a matter of fact I said it was a NASCAR Camaro which suggests modified. Either way the Camaro platform is simply cheaper to modify than just about any other V8 sports car on the street. If GM had gotten of their asses they would have built a car that would have sold much better than it did but they didn’t want it competing against their precious Corvette. However due to it being considered an experimental car it wasn’t allowed to win even though it had lapped a few other cars that were specifically designed to rave that event and were much more expensive.

@P-J-W-777 It was a fun experience for Hendick Motorsport. The car was in a class almost by itself. The car was modified because you need headlights and taillights driving around the 24 hour race. If they really wanted a show off they should have raced a bone stock ZL1. That would have been more interesting.

@P-J-W-777 BTW that car was not cheap and anything can be built to go fast. Even Tesla 4 door Plaids with modified suspension can corner. Not as good as a Mercedes AMG Roadster but good enough to suprise people. The Garage 57 Camaro finished 39th overall.

@@jostrander71 I’m fully aware that the NASCAR Camaro was not cheap. But it was near as expensive as the Hyper/GT CARS and wasn’t expected to be able to even be competitive against them as they are specially designed and built for that race. While you are correct in that it finished 39th overall it would have finished much higher potentially even 1st had it not been for a transmission failure. I read a bit more into it and found that what people were reporting was actually its win during practice trial runs. (Seems you can’t believe everything you read online these days. Even from multiple sources! lol.) Of course anything can be made to go fast. Again I never said that wasn’t the case. Dollar for dollar the Camaro has been shown and proven to be the least expensive and easiest platform to modify/improve with its LS engines and already track focused chassis design. A stock Camaro beat the track of a ton of cars on the Nuremberg track. Cars they said it shouldn’t have Ben able to beat that were much more expensive. Such as Ferraris, Porsche and Lamborghinis. Cars that were 130,000 dollar plus. Just imagine what the Camaro would have been like if they had the GT350 and GT500 version like Ford was very very smart and did with the Mustang. Hennessy had a performance version (Exorcist) on pump gas you could buy from them that had a 0-60 @ 2.1 seconds with a 1/4mile time of 9.57 and a top speed of 217mph and an even fast version the (Resurrection) on race gas. People build them up street legal all the time pushing over 1000hp easily. EV’s are only good for a few things. Quick 0-60 times, leaving you the stranded on the side of the road because it’s dead, catching fire and running into anything that’s it’s cameras don’t see. My whole point was crapping on GM and their management and design team. Had they taken the Camaro further offered more performance options like Ford and Dodge did with their cars as well as improving the design their sales would have been much much better. They just weren’t as exciting as the other options. The C7 ZR1 is a masterpiece of design and the C7 Z06 is awesome. They could have given the Camaro the same attention and it would have been successful and made them more money as there would have been more produced and sold when compared to their corvettes. They are even holding back when it comes to horsepower on the corvettes so all they have to do each year is offer a little more with nothing more than a software update. I used to be a huge and loyal GM fan however they’ve lost my respect due to their lack of competitiveness and design choices.
