I Bought A CRASHED C6 Corvette INSANELY Cheap!

- Ever come across a deal that seems TOO good to be true? That's exactly what happened on this '13 C6 Corvette... Nearly 500hp, 23k miles & a 'light' wreck? Easy money! Right?
Of course not... When I went to pick up this Vette it was suffering from a mysterious electrical issue, in fact the cammed LS3 wouldn't stay running for more than 10 seconds at a time...
If we can resolve the issue on this iconic Corvette cheaply, we're going to profit BIG TIME... If things go badly, we're going to be in a world of trouble..
Have a salvage Corvette rebuild story of your own? Maybe you're building you're flipping a Z06 or ZR1 and putting me to shame? Put it in the comments!

More Corvette. Less Porsche. I'm just saying....
he is the only one crazy enough to save a porsche with a moldy milkshake in the engine, and intake, and intercoolers, and turbos..
that was your vet looks nice
Hell no Porsche is infinitely more interesting and much higher quality and prestige than a corvette. Keep those boss 911’s coming brother. Corvette is 🗑️
I dont mind having them both on the channel
@@maiva_yt both is fine. But corvette just never will be Porsche. Like comparing Porsche to Ferrari. They just are worlds apart in prestige.
Great episode! This is easily the best car channel on CZcams! Perfect mix of tech, cars and personalities!
Employee handbook that actually benefits the employee, nice lol. Awesome vid!
My first thought was the start switch. What tipped me off was you saying it was clicking on and off sitting there and could read it was in accessory mode for a moment. Really oddball issue but luckily an easy one
Nailed it!
Dude!! You are amazing!!! That was the coolest ending ever!! I kept on saying in my head, man - someone is going to be so lucky whoever gets that car, wow!!! And yaaaay you kept it in the family! One of the perks, great video! You guys rock!
Make sure that whatever brand of fibreglass resin you use is SMC compatible. The fibreglass that C4 and up cars are made from uses an internal mold release agent that will make repairs prone to coming off due to the release agent. Resin on broken and cracked fibreglass fixes nothing. It’s still broken. The only repair is to reinforce the broken section with resin, cloth or mat. Without the cloth or mat it has zero strength.
In my experience on an old c6 i was helping out with that had the same issue not staying on, this 90 year old dude working with me knew exactly what it was because he's had such a history with the car. We swapped out one of the relays and it was all good
Who would’ve thought it 😮 great work guys. Logical fault finding process. Well done guys. That C6 sounds awesome 😊
I just love the way you pull parts off the shelf,keep up the great content 👌
Great find, turned out beautiful, looks so prestigious!
Great show. Living over the pond the regulations don't mean much but you guys have the show so entertaining love it.
I absolutely love watching your guy’s content. If you keep regularly posting you will EASILY have over 1M subs by november
That’s an oddly specific timeline, but I like it!
You guys deserve the 1M subs, and more! I REALLY APPRECIATE that you post more than once a week.
@ScrapLife Garage
He's not wrong. Most channels blow up CZcams algorithms after about 200k subscribers.
Most accidently come upon the channels like me.
Throttle house, Hagerty, and many others started as pet projects for fun and grew with in a year.
Great content that you keep growing on will pay off for you guys.
Great crew by the way, showing them and their/your process is a tool I feel you should build into 👏
@@scraplifegarage love the content - easy top 3 car channel alongside legit street cars and mat armstrong
I originally subscribed for the hellcat but I realized how great all of your other content is too.
Me after 60 seconds, sweating that this car will be parted out.
Me after 61 seconds: Cheering and all smiles!
Passenger floor where the harness goes into the bcm the pins pull out and cause the issue you’re having. I’d start there and you’ll find the problem. I’ve fixed way to many.
Great video , well done 👏🏻
You Lucky! So and So! With the Employee discount 👍 wish I was working there! Good luck with that Corvette 😮 that was a Fun recon right there
I got pissed when I first saw this video. I thought you were gonna part it out for a little bit of damage definitely need more Corvettes saviors.
I just love this channel and I cannot figures out why
Man y’all have a dream job great episode 👌💯
Awesome work guys
Another great looking Corvette and congrats on making some good money on it.
i don't mind when you part them, but i love to watch you save em. This was a good save, so is that is300.
I see that blue is300 from the last episode in the background👀👀💪🏾
😁😁
Yeah! Can't wait for that one! Hope that one doesn't get stalled like Dalt's RX-7 (Or Dalt's channel!). Seriously, he has some good stuff on there, but hardly ever posts....
That cam setup is SICK!
All you have to do is hit that with the heat gun and the color will go back to normal or a torch
I noticed in your videos you appear to suffer a lot of inclement weather. Hopefully you will have some sunny days ahead.
I figured it was a tune thing with the battery going dead. But a bad start switch could kill the battery two and why it needed one. I like you owned up to the repair not being perfect... watching many rebuild channels, others would be saying it was mint and perfect etc lol
Damn it’s clean. I do fiberglass and paint and body when I csn and thst would be a blast for me to fix. Especially if I had bought it
1:51 love the fact that subtitle recognizes the engine roaring as [Music]
I thought I was the only one who used subtitles. I love when it thinks it's "Applause". Or sometimes it will just say "Foreign" about a sound it doesn't recognize. Luckily I'm only about 60% deaf, so I know what it really is... Otherwise, Listening to an engine throw a rod and then lock up might be a bit confusing when it's labeled "music" or "applause". Sort of sends the wrong message, right?
Awesome he got the car threw you guys , I bet he is so dam excited an I bet he does close to 180 once he gets the feel of the ole gal
Loving the channel fellas here in the UK 🇬🇧
Leave it in a bag of rice overnight, see if the electrical problem goes away
Graphite paint would look like that finish too. They use it for mower blades n so forth, it's a friction inhibitor.
Heres a possible list, crank shaft position sensor, bad ground, bad map sensor, bad 02 sensors, fuses, relays, short, and so forth only way to know is to pull the engine and check the body grounds for corrosion.
My c6 needed all the modules reset after a battery failed apparently back in the day. Had similar issues (my friends dad owned it for most of its life.)
Could of waxed the fiberglass. The OEM fiberglass might of been, it would add some gloss and luster to the flat matte finish.
officially a fan XD the employee discount part tho XD
I need to get one of those buffer pads on the drill the smoother you make that the less white and powder it will be
Heck yeah I was whiching your last video that gto was kinda cool it’s my dream car someday
It's the alternator alternator alternator LOL
i wish i worked for your shop i could use a vet now that i see all the cool vets in your shop i want one
Just love this channel im 27 now never owned a car love from SA
The fucking start button! Last thing I would have thought to check. Great video as always...
I swear, I wish I lived a little closer to you guys, id love to come work there. Cars and fun - 2 of my favorite things to do.
a little application of epoxy on the wing edge thats damages followed by a little cut and buff will have that damage gone and back to fresh in a few days (epoxy takes a while to cure up hard).
If you’re already doing the rear, you should just get the wider rear fenders like the grand sport or zo6
Nice Corvette need More this cars like Chevy or other cars and maybe car have issue with low rpm
Go to a body shop store and ask for SEM trim black use it on all my black trim wheel wells ECT ECT.
I honestly was thinking the ignition switch aswell because I had the same issue on my stock 08 STS-V with 131k on it!
What's the magic black stuff that you used on the inner liner called?
Great car! What's my stock 2010 CTS-V worth?
Do you guys have any catless headers for 15+ s550 5.0s?
Such a great ending!
not sure how you make any money or that guy who's an employee doesn't end up getting jealous... I'd want to keep it lol
So awesome taking care of employees
Sounds like the same issue I had with my GT500
It was a chewed wire/wires from mice 😮
I need that chop lol
I need that 5.7 drive train for my 2006 srt8 Chrysler 300 shell
the fire car would make a really cool vette kart...
I can't wait to see the ZR1 vs 997 shootout when they're done.
Maybe a faulty fusible link? Ecu connectivity issues?
Keep it and turn it into a ZR1!!!!!
The ignition switch probably has debris or dust in it not allowing for the button to fully retract after pressing therefore it reengages by itself to shut off the engine. try deoxit spray and clean it
Mean baby mean = love it 😍
When my 2008 BMW 550i was randomly stalling it was a ECU issue.
Amazing!
On the plus side of the Employee Discount, it doesn't include new tires :D
This guy is living how I far wanna get to in life 😂
That is a good chance and that is cool
Why don’t have snap a Dragon to check the car’s fault ?It is a splendid investment !
Nice W 🤑
Thats a car I could own and love driving 😍
14k for that. For 24k I picked up a 2011 with 17k miles. The market is still high as giraffe snatch.
When did you buy yours? 24k seems pretty decent price.
@@shadyshinichi2JZ West Virginia. Wired them the money. Flew out and drove it home 800 miles.
Picked my 2011 up in 2020 for $25k with 8k miles. 6MT torch red. People are on drugs rn
@@davidr6865 Exactly. I get that we kind of got good deals but I really don't think they're worth more than that. I could have turned around and flipped it for 10-15k profit but that's ridiculous.
@@Usmc913 we did get very solid deals, but they also made sooo many of these cars so they are not that rare. Why would I pay $40-45k for a clean grandsport when for another $15k I can get into a z06 c7 or a base c8 in another year
I probably would’ve went for alternator first
bro if i had access to all those corvette parts i could build the ultimate C5 zr1.
What kind of trailer is that?
Alternator problems !
Someone fed the Gremlins after midnight. 🤔
Will take a long time to get to the shops 5 seconds at a time
blue is300 in the background?
A friend of mine crashed one an the stupid theft system caused issue he said but who knows hope u find out in vid if not nice ride , can ya not fix all that an sell hell out of it or ya keeping it , it’s nice as hell
Where the hell do you find these cars?
That wing looks like itll polish out
Is this vette for sale yet?
how does one go about getting ahold of you all , to purchase this corvette??
It's not the start switch it's the starter the lug is lose an need to be replaced that why it keeps shutting off it needs a starter
Body man or scrap man 😜
The reason it why it was sutting down the cpu needed to be run
before i liked cars, this was my first ever favourite car
i really wanna get a C6 now...
Too late they’re overpriced
I love my 07 C6 corvette it's the bees knees
Bad fuel? It could have water in the gas tank since it’s been cold!?
Try some iso heat!
SEM black trim paint
Oy! it's my black vette!
Looks like wolverine done some damage
Camshaft sencer or transmission sencer
Camshaft sensor or transmission sensor
I want it, what the price
Why would you not sell that book with the car? It’s the owners manual you said lmao it belongs with it matching vin and everything
Use trim restore black trim restore
