Salvaging A DESTROYED Shelby GT350!

I just gambled on a $13,000 Shelby GT350 from the Salvage Auction (SPOILER ALERT: It's REALLY totaled..)
With 0 straight body panels and 1 5.2l VooDoo engine that is allegedly an oil down waiting to happen, you might be wondering why I found it prudent to spend $13k on it..
Well as it turns out, there's quite a bit of money to be made on Mustangs like this! As long as the engine is good, that is... So come get a peek into the world of salvaging high end sports cars (and also mustangs) to see if we can manage to stay afloat financially!

Hell yeah I would watch the series for that red Shelby being fixed

[@DSGMATT]

Hell yes to the GT350 R rebuild

[@ameltjr9802]

lol not an R, but they are the same car anyways.

[@frank-xw8po]

Bro said “for 50$ bucks” got me dead af 😂

[@christian6381]

You BETTER fix that 350R PLEASE!😂❤️

[@pri0r_t0_a_weekago...fukwi48]

Yea that 350r NEEDS to be brought back to life bro. Thats one bad ass car

[@philipparana9225]

It's a base not an r.

[@avguylyfe5837]

​@@philipparana9225 The red one is an R.

[@2fast2nick]

They aren't R seats, it looks like a regular GT350

[@2fast2nick]

Plus the R has carbon wheels

[@konnorward4116]

@@2fast2nickthey r carbon just not exposed carbon, and only the gt350r’s got em, there just painted

[@Wreck-Gar]

After cherry picking videos from the channel I thought I'd start from the beginning and watch the lot, including the videos I'd already watched. It took two full weeks but what a ride! You guys have great chemistry and it makes for some hilarious times! Can't wait for the next video, take care! 👍

[@scraplifegarage]

Thanks for the support!

[@Notfiveo0]

Two camera iPhone is base model, not necessarily older.

[@danesen]

This is such a good episode! didn’t know watching a car get stripped for parts would be so good! You are confident in your knowledge, funny, happy cohost, honest and open financial info clean editing and the music intermission instead of annoying saw cutting was perfect. Keep it up!

[@kickit59]

Guys I would really like to see you guys rebuild the Red GT350R! That would be outstanding content!

[@djones1899]

That 350r took a pretty good hit but worth saving. Best spec (race red, stripe delete, R model *interior red accents*)

[@Wajjajagg]

I’m an upholster & to get rid of the indentations use a heat gun but be careful come from the back & push out while heatin it up works everytime

[@PuddingPeep-fs1kw]

You gotta let Dalt repair that car !

[@Orcinus1967]

Very informative. I love the forensic accounting. Well done.

[@vics.diecast.garage]

Love to see you rebuild the Mustang!!

[@neu318]

Thanks for the videos Lee! I'd like to see more Euro cars at the shop. Maybe of the BMW or AMG variety???

[@minormakesmocs]

Gt350r goes crazy! Rebuild for sure!

[@ameltjr9802]

no different than a regular gt350. exact same engine and transmission. Only slight tweaks and carbon fiber wheels make an R.

[@user-oo2vn9pe7k]

Yes stitch a second had rear half on it you must have parts available in youre workshop I'm a panelbeater in new Zealand and have done many cut and shuts there is some good dollars to be made in that car love you're videos keep them coming watch you guys all the time

[@Admin-uc7sf]

I buy parts from you all the time, & I just found this channel. Crazyyyy good video

[@noahz7]

I’m so excited to see more of the GT350R

[@Motortrippin]

You should do more videos like this, and more with mustangs!!

[@noahphantom2375]

sometimes i wish i lived in the states so i could help with all this or find vehicles lol, i love seeing videos like this and learning new things

[@leofelix5015]

Love to see that Shelby rebuilt... And as for dead inventory you should have a garage sale at your local flea market.. may make more money plus your channel merchandise

[@bigbert5615]

Nice parts management system!

[@Nate-zu5ru]

The mustang went for the crowd in this one

[@brianharris8441]

I’m down for a rebuild series on the Mustang. Let’s go!!!!

[@checklist-]

Hell yeah let's go GT350 R rebuild!

[@deadsniper2159]

Hell yes GT350R rebuild

[@its_cj_fyi]

As ALWAYS I LOVE the content you and the team puts out but I had a question this week! Why haven’t yall indulged in the tesla/ev market? The maintenance and repair on teslas for parts or sensors are wicked high so I have to imagine the resale value of used parts have to be pretty darn good right!? Only thing I could imagine is that tesla does a parent coding system where if it’s not the exact same one that came with the car the parts cant be swapped out but I seriously can’t imagine that’s true either with how often parts go bad right?

[@AndresGarcia-wj3dl]

I have a lot of experience with GT350s and 350Rs on track. I'll bet you'd have a ton of fun with the red car as a track car. Ford put out a fix for the oil filter harmonic issue IIRC. As for oil consumption, both cars I have experience with were warmed up gently, but driven hard once warmed up. Currently, the 350R has 10,000 miles, 3-4000 of which are on the track. The 350 didn't burn oil and neither does the current 350R. Oil changed before every track day with the OEM ford 5W50. That's my personal experience with the 5.2.

[@ameltjr9802]

Oil consumption is part of the design. You may have later model with higher tension rings. Plus, people that continue to recirculate oil back into the crank case are asking for issues. The oil must be captured by a separator and not recycled into the case. A separator and clean rings make all the difference.

[@keithczerniawski]

Def would like the see the rebuild of the red 350 R and the race between the Z28 like Dalt said.

[@cejay2004]

love your content.

[@yovanipena5831]

Yes fix it I would love to see the process of it getting fixed

[@DavidKornrumpfII]

Would be interesting to see it saved And more content for your channel

[@BrantlyFrederick]

You absolutely should rebuild the 350R, they were very limited from the dealer and most get parked and that would be a good track toy or good to be a menace with

[@kelvingermosen8814]

Yesss Fixed it !

[@timothyhervieux5673]

Can’t wait for the red mustang r rebuild

[@gunningamer1562]

would love to see the 350r rebuild. would be amazing to see that car drive again. also did anyone notice the crack on the right side of the transmission housing at 19:22 by the blue numbers? dont know if that'll affect the trans at all or not

[@davidcorder95]

Wow what an car brother I will love to build one up

[@Justiinkirk]

Hey scraplife team. Im really looking to get into my first c6 and was curious on your opinions on the early models vs 08' and newer models. Essentially my question is if the ls3 is worth forking out the extra money for considering that this would be my first vette and that the harmonic balancing issue of the ls2 seems to be solvable. would love to hear what everyone in the comments has to say.

[@mariobarbosa3095]

That’s gna be crazy to fix that

[@95turbostang21]

Can you do a video on explaining the process of a leak down test? I've never seen it done, that why

[@leddygee1896]

GT 350 R?... Absolutely!! Do It😁

[@02f4irider]

Although ive seen worse fixed, id definitely say send this one down the road. Lol and id definitely love to see the shelby fixed and keep track what it costs.

[@christian6381]

Love this car, sad to see it take the usual Mustang route😂

[@sbf_fox2434]

Looks like you could use some of the driver's rear section of the GT350 to fix the GT350R.

[@dinorossi6611]

Amazing!!!!

Shows great cars on instagram KZbin everyday mustang 😂jk love the content

The 350 Intake is worth money, so is that strut brace. But if you get that motor, gearbox, and rear out of there you are doing Great..

[@samjoiner7955]

The Demon back there is looking pretty good I think it’s about time for an update

[@JoeMama-lq2jf]

Yeah thats what i never get is why start a new build when you haven’t even given a update in 3 months for your other one

[@sneezinhatch]

Just finished a 87 Fox body hatch with saleen body kit rust free put a bolt in front and rear sub frame installed a gen 3 coyote with upgraded internals, oil pump gears, crank support, id1400 injectors,Texas speed turbo cams twin demon fuel pumps and twin 76 mm turbos hidden under the car by the built turbo 400 and a circle d converter 3500 at all should be around 1500 whp safely in e85

I used to part out E46 M3 before even the wrecked ones doubled in price. Not worth the headache anymore.

[@darren6032]

Let Dalt fix will be great to see 👍🏽👍🏽

[@ddodad7140]

just curious here, when you use the car for scrap, i always wondered why the glass or windshield arent kept before the car goes off to the scrap yard. i would think someone might be looking for one. ?

[@bobp5356]

Great video. Fix the 'R'! thanks

[@test1014]

I'm a chevy guy and I still think you should fix that thing!!!

I would love to see what the actual profit was on a salvage story after a year or so and how it compares with the theoretical number
