The only thing better than buying a new Camaro ZL1 1LE for Salvage Stories? Getting it WAY cheaper than you expected at salvage auction! I was shocked to see the bid on this 6th Gen Camaro ZL1 1LE close so low, but it raised a serous concern... Did I miss something???
Either we're going to make a TON of money on this Supercharged LT4 monster or everyone else saw something I missed, but there's only one way to find out... After an unknown driver gives it a smokey little test run..
Today we also debut the NEW Salvage Stories High Score board!

We have entirely too many rebuilds in progress, gotta pay the bills! Trust me, if we didn’t have a business to run (and had a theoretical unlimited budget) we’d rebuild everything! But if we didn’t do this, we wouldn’t be able to rebuild anything at all.

Me too! If I knew it was selling that cheap, I would have bid on it myself! I don't think I would have won it though. I would've put $25,000 as my "max bid", and he said he put $26,000 as his max.... For someone who wants to just own the car, these prices make a lot of sense. As a former auto body tech, I could have fixed it for prices that would make it a great investment.

Yeah, from a business perspective, it was the smart decision. To repair this car properly would cost at least 15k, then you're into it for around $38,000. Then you have to worry about if someone is going to pay around $56,000 for it to make any sense to do it this way. Much safer investment to part it out.

True. I went with a LS -2(6.0L) with a single 105mm turbo and a 6L80e in my '89 Trans-Am GTA. Nothing like having an almost bulletproof 6 speed auto trans with paddle shifters. I debated which trans to get for years, and finally settled on a junkyard 6L80e with only 1,700 miles on it. Poor 2500 Silverado still had it's paper plates when it got wrecked....

Quarters don't sell for that much used, plus the labor to cut it out, and the unbelievably high cost of shipping something that big, you can still get all that stuff new from GM, WITH the guarantee that it will arrive at your house or shop in perfect condition. Having worked at body shops, I can tell you; it sucks a lot when you have to work with used quarter sections. You have to drill/cut out the factory welds/seams perfectly in order to use the parts. Sometimes you don't have a choice ( like when new pieces aren't available.). But when it comes to weld-in parts, you're always better off with new👍

Bought a salvaged title 2017 A8 SS for 4750 in like 2019. Took me a while to fix it up but turned out to be a great car. Put about 15k of parts and labor into it, upgraded lights to a 2018, got some nice custom rims, painted it mustang orange and had an orange interior, front was a ZLE and fit a ZL1 hood on it (debaged it), put a Borla ATAK all ebay finds. Covid came by and sold it with a salvaged title for 27.5k. The camaros bring great money.

I haven't checked the prices recently but just before covid hit there was a bunch of zl1 that hit the market with a lemon/buyback title from the manufacturer. There was a shortage of parts for the superchargers at one time and they did a buyback on a bunch of cars because it was going to be months before they could get parts to fix them. At that time they were selling for roughly $45k with low miles on them. Same for the c7z and V3.
