Today on Salvage Stories we bought ourselves a HORRIBLY wrecked 997 Porsche 911 Turbo for $30,000 from Copart Salvage Auction! While it may be just too far gone to rebuild, that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of money to be made and parts to be salvaged!
With the legendary Metzger engine, carbon ceramic brakes and plenty of other hard to find Porsche 911 Turbo parts, let's see just how much money we can make on it! Who knows, maybe we'll even find a part or two we can use on MY 997 turbo build!
Have a Salvage Porsche 911 Rebuild story of your own? Maybe you've bought a Wrecked Porsche for parts yourself! Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

@wcads623 Год назад

Agree very pricey and common part to get damaged. So there must be a demand for even a lightly damaged cover. I suspect this guy knows his market so if he chucked it then what do we know.

- I have been away for a while as I only look at Porsches now at your site. -I looked in the beginning at all the cars but shortly I didn't want to watch because I didn't car about the model of car. - I enjoy how you takes these cars apart, price them and sell them. - But the best videos are the wrecked Porsches that get stuck back together wether you keep or sell them. As always A+ on: content, knowledge, clarity of speech and video, humor and well all the other things I should say but it is time for dinner and I have run out of gas this late in the night.

I am not a Porsche fella. I have driven a couple over the years and was very impressed. That said, my favorite car is my 72 Chevelle with a supercharged SBC. My question is; what is the issue you mentioned, about not turning the engine, in this video, "backwards"? I've not run across that issue before with my American engines. Beyond that, I agree, you scored nicely on this purchase. I could see that engine being worked into all kinds of vehicles not originally Porsche's. Tons of power in a complete package that you showed had near perfect leak-down numbers. Definitely a saleable item. I would kill to get those brakes into my Chevelle. I'll bet that they could be adapted with some genius quality work. (Not me) That said, I know people who could manage the task. Thanks for a timely, informative, and fascinating video. A job well done!

@sutherlacd27 Год назад

The brakes are pccb. They are very impressive brakes. But they cost a small fortune. On ebay right now for all 4 used rotors it's around $8,000. That's just rotors...not pads or calipers. Most of us who do track days swap them out for the basic steel brakes instead because of the costs of replacing parts. However if you never track the car the pccb rotors are essentially lifetime rotors.

@ronaldmoparornocar9590 Год назад

Wow I got to say you toss a lot of good sheet metal.front rails rear rails and tail lamp pockets the one Sea belt that was dirty I would have sent to safety restore and have a complete set.....I know you are in a factory setting and don't have a yard to say you do but on your exotic cars and certain high performance model's.my local shops are constantly coming in for sheet metal cuts and rail sections but I am understanding the way you do things the more I watch..... and look at the box of hardware you saved because like you said yourself will " nickel and dime you to death" I would save hardware kits on Porsche,vettes, vipers,jags,land rover, Jeep,dodge/Ram... for recovered thefts, burners,flood/fresh water, the stuff I didn't when I swept the floor put them in a bolt bucket and had a dumpster just for it #1 clean steel.i use to average 15-16 cars/trucks a week.i generated alot of recycling stuff drums and rotors into a 10 yard metal dumpster paid as clean motor cast iron...... and we had a guy from a local plastic company came down on Saturday and cut and ground up all of the bumper covers and paid the company if I remember correctly 35 cent's a pound for it.....I am sure you will get it figured out.... enjoy your videos 👍👌✌️🇺🇲🇺🇸

@stuffilike4498 Год назад

In the UK a mid 2006 911 turbo was £97840. Tiptronic was £1961 adaptive seats were £674 sports chrono package £1015 ceramic brakes were £5349. No idea what the £/$ was then 1.4 at a guess

@pablopicaro7649 Год назад

UK has a huge VAT rolled in, the US does not. Each state collects sales tax after the sale. Usually around 6% to 8%

@sutherlacd27 Год назад

New price you're saying? My 997.1 turbo build sheet was $153k...08 turbo cabriolet. Tiptronic, yellow seat belts and cluster, pasm, sport chrono, 18 way adjustable sport seats with porsche crest in the head rest, full leather package, 2 tone leather package, mahogany trim package, multifunction, and homelink.

@EvilKustoms Год назад

Why wouldn't ypu cut the rh quarter panel off for sale? Just curious as to why you wouldn't pick it clean?

@jamess4535 Год назад

My Tiptronic coupe was 143k, also PCCB'S. The steering wheel was swapped. Not original to a 997.1. Sucks that it's not an original yellow stripe sport design wheel. Mine is swapped with an alcantara sport design paddle wheel, and they are HELLA expensive. Yes, the factory yellow stripe steering wheels are uber expensive... dumb, but that's how Porsche makes money on options.

To the buyer $1100 looks more appealing than $1100.98, i learned this at an early age when i sold cars, lose the 98 cents it just makes the item look a lot more expensive.

Of course you know but be aware of what BIO means written on the front fender - I didn't see any protection of hazmat being used when you stripped the interior.

@dubayadot Год назад

Are the rear quarter panels not worth good money ? Front bumper , surley some back st garage could have repaired it ? Drivers seat office chair ? Aircon pipe work for one with undercarage damage? I used to take every loom out my cars and weigh them in for scrap at xmas. I know you cant store every single part but broke my heart seeing all those parts get thrown away as they would be fortunes ftom Porsche.Peace.

@RiouInsuiko Год назад

Out of curiosity particularly for the items that you don't have a tight grasp on what they're worth, why don't you enable best offers on them? You have control over what your auto-reject is anyway. It's got it's own problems with sometimes buyers not paying after you accept and possibly higher fees, but it seems like a no-brainer trade-off for stuff that might otherwise sit on the shelf for a long time.

@scraplifegarage Год назад

We have to be mindful of margins, as you can see in this series. From a business standpoint, I don’t start allowing offers in most parts until a year out from listing. It effectively devalues the parts and with how slim margins are in this industry, it’s less about how much volume we can move (in this instance by allowing offers to move parts) and more about how much we can generate of a given car, regardless of shelf time.

@_Livid_ Год назад

Maybe you’ve broken this down in the past and I haven’t watched/found the video yet but just out of curiosity, if you are aware these parts aren’t going to sell fast, and that you’ll have so much dead inventory, why still buy them aside that you get what you might need for yours? I mean, it’s your money and business, I’m not trying to say I could do it any better, I just don’t understand how losing that money for potentially years until the parts finally sell makes sense I guess.
