I Bought a DESTROYED Mitsubishi Evo IX At SALVAGE AUCTION!

[@LeeC]

🚨NEWS ALERT 🚨 Doc said I was lucky to keep my leg & then mentioned something about “ScrapLife won’t ever ask you to contact them though shady messaging apps in the comments..”

[@KnexJunkie]

those scammers get on any channel these days it sickens me they stil cant find a proper fix for those bot / scam bot accounts or burner accounts its sad. (good luck with the leg)

[@scraplifegarage]

It’s insane, though I did originally use the t-gram word in the original comment and it blocked it, so maybe they’re trying. Just an annoyance and don’t want to see them get any of you!

[@KnexJunkie]

@@scraplifegarage the thing that pisses me off is people just want be entertaint by you guys and i personaly worked on damage cars (sadly not salvage) but its always fun to unpuzzel a wreck 1 you can save or not or just salvage theres always something of value left.

[@kolliinn]

Are you sure? One of the told me they’re giving away a Nissan juke

[@LeeC]

@@kolliinn They're not gonna get anyone with that week offer...

[@GearScar]

As a Canadian who sees rusty cars all the time, I can tell you this car was actually not that horrible, it obviously had a few bad areas, but honestly, I would be willing to bet whoever owned it was simply using it as a every day car especially in the winter in a location that sees road salt, would've been very repairable before the crash, and the crash in general, you can see how the car crumpled up like it was supposed to, had it been extremely rusty it would've just mushed and the back seats would've been under the hood.

[@taylorebenguard6998]

it wasn’t bad rust at all but it wouldn’t be long before it really did rust out

[@Elmospiece]

As a Canadian who has seen a few EVOs and just regular lancers, I can tell you the rust seems about right. That entire chassis is just built to rot. Front crossmembers rusting out are pretty common.

[@mitchweber7868]

Are you kidding me??? Now not only are those cars over priced as hell over here but now they will probably rot out after a few years!

[@Elmospiece]

@@mitchweber7868 I live in the land of snow and salt. Everything rusts away eventually. But ya there’s some bad spot on these chassis.

[@seansmile]

@@mitchweber7868not all of them. Just don’t drive it in the salt 😂

[@connorn6378]

Considering ive owned a 9 for 11 years only places i see that develop rust easy is the black metal piece in the front bumper just below the upper grill

[@ВасилийПопов-м5ж]

Buy toyota to be free of rust

[@davecolvin5190]

Hope you feel better soon Lee. Love the videos keep em coming.

[@xMarkie]

That Evo looks like my car in GTA before I head to Los Santos Customs

[@Josh-kk9bx]

"what's wrong with her now!!"

[@cronk6879]

This is genuinely the best auto channel on you tube right now.

[@jezcrook]

I think you 3 should be on the stage as comedians. I love your videos and can’t stop laughing. Keep up the great work.

[@jacobhosler1982]

By the size alone of that GMC logo, probably a GMC Yukon XL.😂

[@wrendooley]

That was my guess exactly 😂

[@jacobtedder6384]

A GMC Sierra 1500 hit it for sure. Love the videos keep up the great work.

[@evoman44]

I hope that POS GMC got wrecked too.

[@White_Z28]

I love your content I been subscribed since you guys bought the lifted Miata from Chris I watch all your videos now 👍

[@jsmith185]

Scrapped the rear ohlins! Damn those would have made a wicked giveaway and wall art !

[@Bearriver613]

Amazing content guys!! Can’t stop watching. Luz roja!!

[@christian6381]

My guess on the GMC is the 2nd gen Yukon. More specifically a burgundy one with fading paint and 250k miles on the 2nd set of tires

[@davebarron5939]

Looking at the rust, it looks like it spent a year in MI. Maybe a build? Find two or three vehicles of the same type and take parts from all three and make one good one? Parts is parts! Cheers!

[@dwilburn]

4 door 95 GMC Yukon smacked that Evo. Definitely.

[@DrRick-dq4bb]

Just love your videos! Amazing what you can salvage from these complete wrecks.

[@markhimself44]

This was my dream vehicle (evo 7) back in the day. When these first came to the states, these ended up being the most expensive vehicle to insure (state farm) because too many kids were wrapping them around telephone poles.

[@sumbeegaming7525]

That badge is from a 2015 to 2019 GMC 2500 or 3500 and it is a lower trim package because the upper trim packages have black around the red lettering instead of chrome🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m going to guess it was a work truck or company truck of some sort

[@kartoffelkaefer71]

GMC ...Giant Mitsubishi Crash 😊 Greetings from Germany and stay healthy 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@jhnbeasley5200]

From the placement of the hit and looks like where the bumper was look like a GMC OBS '88-98 its still hard to tell from the video but truck or van from the front grill emblem

[@pedrot738]

What GMC hit the lancer ? Hmm looking at it my guess is - All of them 😮

[@That_Guy_Smokey]

How have I not seen this channel before today? Awesome video!

[@That_Guy_Smokey]

Also I vote 2019 high country 2500.

[@chesspiece81]

On speaking about classic significant Mitsubishi and you didn't even mention the Eclipse, Galant, along with the 3000 GT and Evo. Honestly a clean white manual transmission 95-99 Eclipse GSX hard top in white with black interior making 550-700awhp and/or a hard top with no sunroof, manual Evo VIII or Evo IX in grey, blue, or white with CNC head, cams, turbo manifold, turbo, FMIC, downpipe, exhaust, built transfer case and transmission in both, flywheel and clutch, full rebuilt and upgraded brakes and suspension, lightweight 18x9.5 or 10" wheels and 265 or 275 tires. Either one making in the 550-700whp on E85 with suspension, brakes, body, wheels, weight pulled, and some interior upgrades would make for an extremely fast, comfortable, and awesome street/strip coupe or sedan to haul a 2 kids and wife in the Evo then strip the ESX down more and have a more purpose built coupe that's more strip but a little street. Both should easily run 9s depending on the traction and driver's testicular fortitude aka the driver not being a female reproductive gland and leaving on the 2 step ans side stepping the clutch on a prepped surface and super sticky tires. I can't wait to see Legit Street Cars finish the GSX he bought, because the 4G63 is a badass motor.

[@KnexJunkie]

Poor evo RIP always breaks my heart to see iconic cars die. hopefully you guys can salvage most of it for ather ones stil on the road. Gone watch i need some distractions my older brother =/ in hospital thanks for the content.

[@yellingconstantly9265]

Red light or line 11:21 that thing is dope for spanish luz roja

[@jucedcustoms2274]

It was a GMC single wheel one ton with a back rack , it’s seafoam green with classic cab corner blowouts and an absent rocker!

[@GdnMatrix]

Of course! Lee needed a way out of this mess, so the clipboard took control of the situation and put Lee out of his misery! ;-P Lee your getting soft bud!! Get well soon...hopefully ;-)

[@christopherchekaway1390]

I live in Michigan and at least 80 of the over 100 vehicles I’ve owned were a lot rustier. This is light

[@neu318]

Feel better Lee! I'd like to see German cars in the smoked series.

[@simon1cz]

The car was destroyed even before the accident by the conversion itself. 90% widebody builds ends with ruined car and widebody without undercarriage = rust wherever water gets and remains.

[@EJ257IHI]

Why did you throw the RECARO seat on the floor like that? Those seats are some of the BEST seats (I bought these for my WRX STI back in the days) and should fetch good money.

[@scraplifedalt]

Maybe we didnt do the best job representing how bent and twisted they were.

[@EJ257IHI]

@@scraplifedalt Makes sense, couldn't see the damage in the video.

[@brianredding9160]

The EVOLUTION for sure. They won many rallies. 12 years ago it was the car to buy

[@Dzeld]

Holy crap that Evo got destroyed! Also "I hate Nissan Jukes!" Haha I hope they at least got a nice few joy rides out of it before it got smashed. Hope Lee feels better soon!

[@1320Mustang]

Damn. Electric blue IX with the SSL package. Super rare. Seems like they ditched the leather seats before the accident.

[@LeeC]

It was a black car wrapped a color similar to EB unfortunately

[@familyandhope4964]

It really cool with you guys. Do some may be Infiniti Q 60’s or Q 50s the newer ones that have the twin turbo engines in it or maybe some kind of truck or something you never know.

[@SecondGenClassics]

GMC Denali 2500 Diesel .. if they still do it like 5 yrs ago gold GMC emblem gas and the red was diesel .. if im correct

[@adamterrini4871]

Probably one of those old box GMC Sierras those things are built like

[@chuckjenkins4348]

It looks like to me like this may have been a deep sea diving EVo would love to pull apart a few sealed connectors to see what the wiring’s like!

[@DBTechYT]

A Giant Mitsubishi Crusher smashed it!

[@a28consultoria]

Esse carro aqui no Brasil, seria vendido como Sucata, sem direito a documentação de Circulação.

[@LeonBarnes85]

Ur gold mine is the ecu n maps sensor. Also the distributor .those go bad in pretty often n hard sold as complete part

[@andyRC95]

I see that you bought the widebody with steel chasis corvette from the other video in the yard, nice dude!

[@scraplifegarage]

Someone hasn’t been watching the ZR1 videos 😉

[@alexsilver478]

Loving the "smoked" videos! I really hate Nissan Jukes haha

[@lance648]

I absolutely love evo's. been a mitsu fan for over 10 yearts. This would be hard for me to like the video.. But.. I guess ill do it.

[@cmeifucanEVO9]

I have owned a 1993 3000GT VR-4 and two EVO 9’s one 06 MR and I currently own a 06 SSL. I do miss my VR-4, it was way ahead of its time in my opinion. The features on the VR-4 were amazing with the active aero and all wheel steering but she was a big girl. The EVO is a more iconic car thanks to Fast and Furious but i prefer my EVO honestly of the two because the overall comfort and four doors.

[@lilijoshr]

Man I really hate them nissan Juke, got hit by one at a red light. Hope you get well soon Lee

[@LuvADuc]

It was nailed by one of those sweet GMC motorhomes from the 70's!!

[@a28consultoria]

This car here in Brazil would be sold as Scrap, without the right to Circulation documentation.

[@hector_nimrod]

Ohhhh thats hurt to see 🥺🥺🥺 The EVO IX is my favorite car of all time, my true passion since it was shown in 2005

[@jdadon2000]

How about a freightliner semi tractor truck. Big parts broken backs after tear down and cost analysis.

[@TheBronzyIThink]

Damn I almost got a Nissan juke but I grew up and got a 2014 st. I hate Nissan jukes

[@WesttNunezz]

Just i needed to end my day 👌 thanks

Самая трешовая тачка😂 Я думал, что будете восстанавливать🤣 Смотрю вас из России, угарные видео. Много фана и позитива))

That’s a gmc seirra emblem I wouldn’t say the Denali spec those usually come color matched

[@suiseidel1]

i really enjoy the smoked series

[@0chuck1]

I HATE Nissan Juke’s!! But I love these videos.

[@adambergeron6991]

I'm going to guess it was in some salt water.

[@lancemillward1912]

The axel not axeling, the hub not hubbing. Classic

[@adamr3345]

hey I repaired my hood and the hinges looked bent I put new hinges hood hook is sitting an inch to the right of the hood latch. The chasis appears to not be bent but the front crash bar is slightly shifted (looking from the bolts quarter inch to the left.) Its really not bad at all. IDK why the hood wont align properly. When I got the car the hood latched easily but it sat almost an inch to the left (gaps) any ideas? the car was hit from the left front side, cracked bumper and hood took most damage.

[@fernandoguzman9522]

What hit that poor Evo was your classic 06 GMC duramax with the best engine built the amazing LBZ 👏 👌. That's my answer!!!!!!! 🙃 even though I'm crying inside because I've always wanted an Evo, poor poor Evo. 😢

[@techo61]

What would you expect from a JDM, salt roads are prevalent in Japan, particularly in the north. Furthermore the bodies are not galvanised so they're designed and located in a rust belt.

[@LeonBarnes85]

But I love the evo shell I would like a rolling shell to put a 7a in it

[@LeonBarnes85]

He needs to calm down....I was actually in debt for a year because i lost sales in two Lancers....i never buy Mitsubishi any more .....

[@brianandcrystalgibson2595]

2018 Blue GMC Denali 4x4 dually four door with a hideaway fifth wheel

[@broadalcantar6915]

Love the videos guys.

Lol🤣the sledgehammer, luz roja

[@phantom_pxl2791]

They say witch is better the 3000gt or the evo But what about the eclipse?

[@andrewwilbanks5326]

I'd say it was a GMC syclone from that damage...

[@ianwhittaker3640]

You’re braver than me gentlemen, I would not have had that car given!

[@FadedSparkx86]

Definitely a GMC Topkick. That thing got transformed. (Transformers 1 reference, ha, ha ha, ha. /s)

[@dparisi420]

Gmc 3500 Sierra Denali with the chromed out grill

[@nc4335]

Looks like a 99-2006.5 GMC Yukon Denali XL with 204,322 miles on it took that thing out!

[@PaddyBoy644]

19:44 The Juke went in the dumpster???😂

[@ashy_gee6]

Im a owner of a evo, and have to say the chassis of evos do not do well in north eastern/western states. Any other place they are okay. Also the lancer chassis scored a very poor rating in crash testing so not even a 2500 did that damage IMO. Get well bc i too would be sick.

[@andrewg2322]

Also fun fact the airbag from that steering wheel is the same as a Lambo Murci 😮

[@brandonbentley5198]

3000gt all day! Way ahead of its time. It’s the car that got Hennessy Motorsports it’s start

[@Powershift]

Note to self, if ever in the market for an Evo... get a west coast car. LOL

[@gabrielramos336]

Did you removed the clutch pedal, the shifter cables also the brake booster those are money makers.

[@guys72ss1]

Apparently the Subaru didn't stop for a red line 🤣

[@HollixKhalifa]

Love these videos

[@nuttychickenman]

how much do you guys make just on weighing in scrap

[@renmac22]

Send it to Portugal. I will keep it in my garage and turn it into my project car 😅

[@basicallyedward]

One broken clip board means home at America?

[@DavidKornrumpfII]

Mitsubishi diamante first gen 90 - 96 , best one imho

[@ernestkocheriii239]

A 392 charger or challenger would be cool to see.

[@darebearcares]

from the first look I alr knew this one was a lost cause, such a pain evo’s look so good rip

[@roberthandy9420]

Don’t know if you will see this. Trying to find a pair of really nice headlights for a c6 black convertible? Looked everywhere I know if you can help with anything would appreciate it. thank you

[@evotech_built]

How much for that under hood insulation?

[@gd1996]

I'm no gm truck guy but looks like the emblem off the center grill of a 2500 or 3500. At least you can laugh about it, I've been on the wrong side of parts vehicles too, but no write offs for me.

[@istvannagy6585]

when will you make Another smoked episode?

[@JesseJames-rq4ee]

Honestly, it was GMC 3/4ton, with what I know is a bull rack. Most you all would call it a brush guard

[@Jamxknife]

Wow. Thank god mine aint this bad. Hope I dont get rear ended either, seems really common

[@jhonny18c85]

I hate Nissan jukes! Love those NT03s one of my favorite set of wheels 🙌

[@losquingtheo9968]

Je n'ai pas regarder en entier (pas ma langue dure à comprendre) mais je serai curieux de la voir sur le marbre, la suite !!!

[@truthandreality4650]

How about a classic car that is smoked? A heartbreak of a destroyed restomod. More of a challenge but may open a niche for you guys by branching out into vintage parts.

[@krevo6c]

Idk why, but i woud like to see some kind of special VW on the smoked Series.

[@hdtwista3692]

I hate Nissan jukes but love the channel ✋
