I Bought An INSANELY LOW C6 Corvette At Copart | TOTALED BY STANCE!

LeeC Parts Salvage Stories | When I saw this INSANELY low, totaled C6 Corvette at Copart salvage auction, I couldn't help but buy it no matter the cost...
It turns out this corvette has quite a few surprises for in store! It may FINALLY pay off to have overpaid for a non-running car from Copart!

this was my brother in laws car. it was never meant for daily driving. was gonna be a show build. he took perfect care of the car, it rode perfectly fine despite all the people saying “lowering ruins the vette”. love the vids and crazy to see this vid after seeing the car built. and accident wasn’t drivers fault, someone on the highway flew over into his lane and took him out

[@pdee886]

This type of 'slick shit' is basically commonplace at auctions in my 25+ years of turning wrenches at least. I've definitely seen it when the owner of this one indie shop I was at used to take me to do PPI's on whatever pile of shit that's gauge cluster was lit up like a freakin Christmas tree LMAO. Anyways, one of the famous things shady asses used to do was pull coil wires off just slightly so it LOOKED connected but wasn't making contact with nothing but the boot pushed on!!!! LOL the thing would be skipping like a fruitcake in a gay parade!!!🤣😂 Sorry I HAD to... I also used to LOVE seeing vehicles come through the lane leaking literally EVERY SINGLE FLUID POSSIBLE!!! It was LAUGHABLE seeing some of these piles come through there. Just wanted to share my funny but true auction experience. 😂😎👍

How would you like a 1995 Cobra R Mustang with 12 miles on the odometer ? This car was a backup car for an IMSA Endurance Racing team . The car was never raced and actually was purchased as a parts car for the race car . The race car never broke so the car is mostly there . The car has been sitting in the team's racecar trailer for over 25 years . There were only 257 of these cars made for 1995 . This car came from the factory with a 351 Windsor and a Tremec 5 speed transmission . The car was decaled to look like the racecar, but was never put on the track . It sat behind the pits up on jackstands ready in case the race car needed a part every part was sitting right there . The engine and transmission were removed and put on jack stands to make other parts easier to remove if needed . The engine and transmission were race prepped . These cars ran in the showroom stock class and only safety equipment was allowed as far as modifications . If you are interested in this car please contact Jon Quick .
