I Bought A 2019 Dodge Challenger Off the salvage auction That No One Wanted!

[@JoshMoore424]

Absolute steal, Ben! Do everything you can to return to factory, especially the hood stripes and pins. It’s what makes the car the car.

[@mhmetts3]

Exactly! Like if you're going to replace the washer fluid bottle, put the hood pins and stripes back on. Making it all OEM is where the value is

[@SDevoAU]

Ben make it back to stock with the how it came from the factory! Will be sweet when done!

[@GlassWolfLH]

KEEP THE HOOD PINS!!! The hood pins, the Plum Crazy purple paint, the pistol grip shifter, it's all a throwback to the 1970 AAR Cuda. Keep it original!

[@tonybosworth5382]

Oh. Hell yeah!

[@denisnicholson2528]

Dude, freaking blessed! That's such a steal of a deal. Good for you dude. You are always helping out Samcrac with his Ferrari rebuilds and the goozquad frame repairs. What goes around comes around dude and this is proof. So freaking stoked for you. 😊

[@Standyourground21]

I like the quick turn around on repaired vehicles and the different variations that this channel offers. It doesn’t have to be a supercar every rebuild. ❤❤❤

[@suecobandito8954]

Home run. You can remove the shaker and place a regular used hood until new one comes in. Daily drive and hold the stripes until the new hood comes in. Great buy.

[@Primeiro_ultimo]

heck yeah

[@lloydbrundell7732]

Keep the Challanger with same options as the build sheet, will be worth more in the future.

[@trainmanbob]

Ben, you are absolutely nailing it! Not only are you expanding your horizons with the parts project, but you just keep on falling on your feet. The Challenger is a brilliant buy. As we say in the UK, a nice little earner. The way the content is changing by giving us lots of variety to watch is great...loving it already. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Bob

[@yamantarakji]

a piece of advice, I think the audience including me would love to see footage of the cars cruising, ripping, and sounding great after you finish them. try including that in the videos every now and then

[@OurAdventure_Awaits]

Stay the way you are and the way you treat the cars. Don't get on the road and rip and raise cane like other people we know.

[@muskokamike127]

Ben: starts up a parts company and buys cars to part out also ben: buys cars and instead of parting them out, rebuilds them lol Way to save the muscle cars Ben!!!

[@martinquintana5837]

Awesome find you're not lucky the vehicle started right up, you're just blessed. Your content always shows how hard you work for what you got. Keep up the good work I always look forward when I get a notification that your new video is posted. Anyways stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

[@mattywatson7075]

goonsquad lost their way this guy keeps on trucking a workhorse awesome

[@frederickhillegas2115]

You have to keep it original. Do the stripes and hood pins. That's what makes it a Shaker.

[@danielfiske9849]

Fantastic buy. Somebody at the auction was either lazy trying to start it, or they were saving it for themselves to buy.

[@kickit59]

Ben back in 1980 I bought a Plum Crazy 1970 Challenger with pistol grip & console. That was a really cool car. I have to say the modern version with pistol grip is really cool. Like some of the other guys have said I think the real value is returning the car back to original with hood pins & stripes. The old school folks like them like that! Great video and I am looking forward to seeing you get this beast back on the road!

[@Tbob17]

I agree with everyone,,, keep the pins, stripes etc…Oem is the way to go with this car…and your tremor turned out great

[@poetgarcia8207]

Yep I agree with you. That’s a clean title clean car.

[@bmwbob51]

What a deal. I'm impressed with how you're able pull it apart and put it back together! I mean swap the chassis was nut on the truck!

[@mikemissel7785]

You were like a kid on Christmas morning when you realized it started. The pistol grip is a old school touch my neighbor has a 70 Charger and it has the hood pins and 4 speed transmission.

[@BusBoulevard-mo5go]

Probably the most talented hardworking automotive creator

[@jimaslan4837]

This was GREAT!!!! I love the way that thing just cranked up, I almost pissed myself laughing. Good for you!!!!

[@stephenrussell9518]

Good score Ben but make sure you rebuild it back the way it was including the stripes and hood pins that way you can get top dollar for it . 💰💰👍🏻

[@mathiashammar1]

What a steal of a deal . Never seen a bigger smile then today. Its like Christmas already :D

[@ozziemcc]

Plum Crazy... The best dodge colour...

[@RichBartholomew]

The hood pins help keep the hood down during high speed wind force will rip that tiny hood latch apart lol

[@Blurrytheeagle]

I love that he actually rebuilds cars

[@chrisdidios9963]

Actually takes his time to rebuild them, unlike the ones with over a million subs and just slap it together and rebuild it in to a death trap!

[@michelleparrott2163]

@@chrisdidios9963amen and he doesn’t try to sell viewers a bunch of crap every 5 minutes

[@muskokamike127]

Yup, so easy to just part them out but with a little elbow grease you save them.

[@NeoM018]

Your experience and always willing to learn has led you to this bargain where others could not see it. Nice one man and congrats. Looking forward to another quick built. ❤🇿🇦🐐

[@srt8u]

I had a bed cover come off an F150 and hit the front of my 2017 Charger Daytona 392 (25,000 miles, redline red tri coat). It caused a little more than $12,000 in damage, and the insurance company fixed it. The body shop had to replace the front bumper, radiator, condenser, both fans, one fog light, and all the front plastics. Thankfully none of the airbags blew. Make sure you use OEM parts on the car, the aftermarket parts are plentiful, but don't fit well at all.

[@fx648]

Put the pins back in man! The car deserves it. Congratulations on a great buy!

[@claytonrodriguez6815]

Put the hood pins back and make it a real wide body u got the talent to do it so why not show your skills cuz you know your good every nut and bolt has its place make sure they all get put back ! No cutting corners! You’re awesome

[@davebuck3944]

That Challenger was a steal! I don't understand why it wasn't repaired instead of auctioned. You would think that a car with an MSRP of $54K could have been repaired.

[@fersaccon]

If they don't have an ETA on any replacement part it can total the car no matter how much that part costs. It could have been the hood or anything they found on backorder when the assessment was done.

[@midsouth4840]

I'm happy to see VTuned happy. He usually seems like such a depressed dude and he's finally happy!

[@donaldhester6555]

I must admit that I never would have noticed vTuned garage had I not seen Ben on Goonzquad. Now, I am a regular viewer of vTuned because I appreciate the content as provided by Ben. Great job Ben.

[@user-A-A-RON]

Love the plum crazy purple on that car

[@MrGOTJOE]

Congratulations that's a steal of a deal! Looking forward to seeing this build.

[@larsmanson9577]

I'm sure you can find a company that makes a carbon fiber shacker hood that would look killer and since the shacker doesn't look functional I'd look into a Paxton super charger or an ATI pro charger for it and turn it up and you'd have a hellcat killer on a budget .

[@robstephens]

I agree, it would be better without the stripes and hood pins.

[@MrGFG003]

You should save that spoiler for your black 'Stang, it looks mean and cool, but that's just my personal taste. It's awesome the content you have put together for us. Maybe every now and then fixing a boring car on video can do when there's not that much content around. I always enjoy whether it's a Nissan or a Ferrari rebuild, I like how you think through things the way you do. :)

[@tomvan2468]

This should be pretty Epic, glad you do things different than the Goon boyz

[@MazichMusic]

I tired of them on 2022.

[@gc4408]

They seem to have given up on quality vs content……. Vtuned cars can be driven after……. Goonies….. no

[@Mike-ww5vr]

Nice find! You have to keep the hood pins on the car! It's a throwback to the muscle car era of the '70s! It's a Motorhead thing but they need to stay on there! It would be a disservice of the car not to do it! Can't wait to watch you fix it!

[@seandebottis3276]

I would replace the challenger back to factory order spec, makes more sense for a clean title car. Love the enthusiasm, like a mini scrap life garage

[@joedirt7953]

color match the rockers and lower bumper trim

[@SpilledMilk888]

8:29 wow you really scored!

[@andrewpeyatt9542]

Nice score! Love the vids keep them coming!!!

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@robbieeades1956]

Heck yeah good deal Ben. Go back with the factory stripes and hood pins. Thats what mskes it cool. Not many of them around like that.

[@TKsGarage]

Saw the purple chally and clicked immediately. I still have two full parts challengers one in Daytona one here in vegas if you need a front end. 😂

[@eduardofukay]

It's so good to have you with your positive attitude. It's a blessing.

[@nexusdodge]

Great job man! What deal! Buying with confidence you could start it and then bonus points it fires up! Gonna be a great build!

[@stevenallen975]

Ben, don't tell the world all your secrets, you done good, this is going to be a nice build.God Bless.

[@tonyc.b.8655]

Mate this is insane how blessed you are. As a lot of comments already said, it’s just about your experience and hard work it has to pay off at some point. Looking forward to ur next videos. Keep up the amazing job 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Wood_Leroy]

Happy for you! Can’t wait to see the process of repair!

[@ronaldmoparornocar9590]

You got a good deal on that one. Clean title to boot! Yes get the Shaker Hood back on the car and get rid of the stupid stripes if anything put the matte black RT stripes on the side. I have seen the scat pack RT challenger shaker with the RT side stripes looks great get a rear window louver for the back glass.yes it is a high option car for sure and a rare 6 SPD Also going to be a sweet ride when fixed and can and will smoke the mustang 👍👌✌️

[@lifelong5425]

Love that shaker.....It will literally fly when you get it back on the road....Great color...called...HELLRAISIN...

[@leelu5758]

I love the plum crazy color. It'll be a great project.

[@Amxracer]

Cool 😎. You could sell the Mustang shell to a builder to make a Drag Car out of it .

[@inexee]

You are killing it! Great deal on the car!

[@d.dolphinstriker5737]

Nice find Ben, this a absolute steal. Good for you men 👍

[@frankleonard6570]

Thats a very nice car! I have one like it and i love it. No hood pins is cleaner! Great color, i love purple!

[@davidwhite4837]

The hood pins are a must Ben That is part of the muscle car era

[@shawnm.1540]

Looking forward to seeing this one get repaired and back on the road! Nice score!!

[@NeilBaker-t6s]

Nice that he is planning on saving that Challenger. Too many of them that don’t look too bad end up getting parted out

[@68-And-I-Owe-You-NONE]

This one is a keeper. Plum Crazy Purple/6speed scat it pretty rare. And clean title for 11.5 🤯

[@ronmiller1162]

8 speed bro

[@kennyray116C]

great buy my dude. can't wait to see the finished car.

[@chrislambert2889]

Crazy good steal deal congratulations 🎉

[@talezfromthedashcam3138]

Manual Wrangler JL's do the same thing. You better have that clutch pedal to the floor for it to start.

[@glassvial]

It's clean title, put it back to stock/OEM, don't delete the stripes, don't mess with repainting the wheels, don't delete the hood pins, don't delete the resonators, it's got barely any damage, you can easily make this OEM again.

[@dakine215]

Score! Can't wait to see you get this thing on the road!

[@Samcrac]

Sweet Trailer

[@seriousrampage]

Love the car, this will be a nice build. Btw, the auto workers do want to work, but they also want fair compensation for their work.

[@genechandler2433]

I'm a rebuilder and started laughing knowing exactly what you said "there is nothing wrong with it" and "easy fix" while it sat there in a crumpled state. My friends think I'm crazy when I say stuff like that and then the next day see me driving it down the road and the car is completely done. One-day fix. Hahaha, Nice buy vTune love your channel.

[@garydickhaut2867]

The hood pins will come with the shaker hood so you'd need to get a regular hood probably.

[@christopher88719]

You are killing it vTuned!!

[@NikoBrothers]

That's awesome man, very exciting in the rebuild life

[@richardgreening3533]

I’m looking forward to this build . Great project at a great price.

[@reggaelova7774]

I'm enjoying the content. American or foreign doesn't matter to me. Great score. Can't go wrong with a mopar. Keep up the great work.

[@travisgrow4713]

Hood pins would look good in matte black

[@tnolan3176]

Good deal Ben ! No lapse in your content good to see !! Keep em coming !!!

[@BrucePierson]

Funny thing you saying that you didn't like the color because of all the dust on it, but you liked it after it was washed. I'd just been thinking the same thing when you said it. You sure got a bargain there and it will be an easy fix and bring in $$$$ when you sell it, especially with a clear title and low mileage. Shouldn't take long to fix it either.

[@williamkowalczyksr6419]

Love all the content and the build lane. It stays interesting to watch.

[@charlesmurschell3110]

You got a great deal. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

[@MichaelT-lc5pk]

That's an awsome find Ben

[@starkyslp16]

Love that color and looks like a good buy! Nice find. Should be fun to blow through some tires once fixed

[@alanpaulick7815]

Ben bargain times are good times. What a steal of a deal. Great to see you so happy. Take care and thanks for sharing.

[@carlosgarcia5362]

Excellent! please show the repair. digging it.

[@Burnut62]

Happy for you. Im excited for this build

[@Stan22ish]

great deal that color !!!!pops

[@oemytech]

FYI - there are no camber or caster adjustments for the front, only toe. There is no camber adjustable for the rear, only minimum toe. BMR makes a nice kit for the rear. SPC makes adjustable upper front A arms.

[@Kracer715]

I'm excited for this one! I'm looking for a hellcat myself!

[@kegshilifestyle3214]

V tuned I love your content and I watch you from Africa 'Kenya' and one day i wish i will get capital to start thats kind of builds and show the whole world.❤

[@mikibajrektarevic2543]

Im so happy for you Ben amazing buy

[@lvslordy]

You did great..

[@freedomfighter1000]

This is a good vid... its like a reveal as you go over the first time going thru the damage from the auction.

[@alancooper7062]

The dust came out of the airbags !

[@darrellwampler3882]

Yup. I've been there

[@brimanco]

Perfect build for your channel! Copart uses Crushed concrete in their yards is why it's so dusty! Awesome deal on this one!

[@fatjeff8083]

That Mustang shell would be great for a race car build.

[@navigatorx1013]

Great deal and glad to see ya score big on this one.

[@jefffowlerr]

Nice deal hopefully that's not a typo on the title 😬 and it wasn't totaled still a gorgeous car tho

[@jimwiskus8862]

So happy for you Ben! That Shaker will be a mover. It couldn’t be in better hands. I’m glad you are considering keeping it? Non the less it will be oem when you’re done with it. See you in the next episode.

[@crbrash8329]

Great video V!

[@rayshutsa6690]

You got a steal on the challenger. The price was right. I know you will make it look awesome. You have a lot of great content coming up. A bang up job as always keep up the great work.
