I Bought a Junk Corvette at Auction that was Basically Brand New

Part 2, Here's Why it's Near Impossible to Save this Corvette: https://youtu.be/luAF028WeKI

What a shame. Salvage title or not, that car deserves to be brought back to life. Even if you're not the one to do it. Sell it to someone to enjoy.

Parting out an under 5K car of any kind would be sacrilege imo. I'm going to hazard a guess that there's plenty of people watching that would love to own and drive that thing as is.

The interior is a huge win . That car can be brought back without too much . Great buy

Clean it up, document what you've done, and donate it to a charity raffle. Someone out there will be happy to get a bargain and clear the title. And the car, an original survivor, will live on.

DO NOT part this Corvette out! She's gorgeous! I've had a few cars with rebuilt titles and loved them! Someone will love this car! You should post what the wrecking yard is offering for it and give us the chance to out bid them to keep the car in one piece!

Sam. You are a feeling type of guy. You respect cars. There is someone out there who dreams of owning any model corvette and would jump at the opportunity to buy this. Don’t part it out!

I loved corvette ever since I was little and I just recently bought my first one A 85 c4 with only 110k miles and I love it Seeing corvettes like this or in a junkyard always hurts they need to be DRIVEN AND LOVED

Such low mileage, it's worth making right, and maybe raffling it off for charity, if it's not to be kept. It would be an absolute shame to let it be parted out.

Glad youre jumping back on the C4 / ZR-1 . One of my favorite videos ever was the one where you described as being a kid and your uncle took you out in his new C4 / ZR-1 . After the ride you never wanted anything to do with C4 / ZR-1 because the car was fast and scared you as a boy. Great family story. Thank you for sharing. Ive told my niece and nephews that story, and they loved it too. Take care Bud

At the end of the day it's Sam's car. He does YouTube for money and he is a business man. Making the most out of it he can means more money for other projects, which we can all enjoy.

Maximum profit is not always worth the cost of destroying a rare find. Do the right thing and preserve the integrity of that car. Please Sam

This car deserves to live and not be parted

Most people don’t realize that the C4 model was a huge jump for the corvette, not unlike the C8’s was recently. The second year of C4 production had big improvements over the 1984’s crossfire injection and rough suspension. I shipped an 85 C4 to Germany with me back in 1987, and I still remember when an American soldier, with a group of young Italian NATO soldiers, asked if I would show them the engine. There were a lot of oohs and aahs to the sight of the engine’s tuned port injection manifold as I opened the clamshell hood.

If there's one thing we've all learned from Sam, it's how valuable it is to have a field full of reference vehicles! (Most of which don't run).

Honestly I’m with the others Sam I don’t think you should part it out. There’s got to be someone out there (probably here in the comments!) who would pay a price you’d be happy with and would not care about the flood paperwork/salvage title.

Anytime there's a major weather event, it's not uncommon for people to take the opportunity to unload problems. This is because the insurers are usually so overwhelmed with claims that they don't actually investigate each one like they normally would. They just cut a check and send a wrecker.

Dude I found your channel as a recommendation from YouTube. I am completely impressed. Awesome work, great tips and recommendations and just overall a great channel. I have now watched several of your segments and am completely hooked. Thank you greatly...

Cmon Sam, parting it out feels so wrong

Hi Sam, WOW! What an incredible and FIND and TREMENDOUS STORY! And, YOU Found It! It is far too great a story, to ever, ever, "PART OUT" this amazing incredible C-4! Likely It Was Never Flooded! That's what really matters! Some happy future buyer, would never be like "a needle in a haystack." instead, you personally might easily be the joyful answer, to someone else's lifelong hopes and dreams! This are obviously so many people here, along with me too, that would love to buy this right now! Perhaps you might be some grateful and lucky person's, "TRUE HERO," instead of parting it out!😉🎉
