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

That’s a shame to hear! Unfortunately that’s why a lot of the cars we deal with meet their end…

My experience, when parts are clean and washed, people tend to gravitate to them when purchasing or that are in the market. Great job guys !

This brings back memories. I sold parts at a specialty wrecker for 7 years. I miss those days but dealing with customers sometimes was a pain in the a$$.

I love your business model. But there is no way anyone could just DECIDE to follow it. The knowledge you have is key to running that successfully. Few of us mere mortals posses that knowledge. But as a reseller myself I can appreciate your process and efficiency. Your success proves it.

It’s a business that requires experience for sure. Now some of the rebuilds I’m doing on the channel most anyone could do!

[@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. 😂😎👍
