So you are basically looking for a salvage flood car without any engine or interior and other damage. You should check out a dealer near you, because a new car is what you are looking for.

A new Prius when you could get a flooded super car?

Be careful starting flood cars as you really should pull the spark plugs out before you crank the engine. Even if water gets inside you can pull the spark plugs out and get the water out and drain the oil most of the time you can save the engine. If you try to start them with the water in the engine you run the risk of bending a rod.

Once the water gets into control modules and wiring it is game over. I worked for Mercedes as a tech, I've seen flood cars and repairing them is very expensive and NOT WORTH IT. This is the reason why they are totaled by the insurance. However, buying a car like this for parts or heavy modifications, then I can certainly see the point.

Nirvarna . Heaven .or in this context car heaven .

I just came across your posting/video reviews for the first time and I gotta say as an old guy I'm so dam impressed by your knowledge of cars... not to mention your enthusiasm about cars period! As a kid I grew up in Michigan with a dad that not only worked at a GM factory but also had a small auto repair business that did work on all cars but specialized in Corvairs after GM discontinued making them in 1969. Pops was known as the Corvair guy in the small town I grew up in. Fast forward to my early 20's, I moved to Los Angeles in the early 80's to further my career in shopping center development, design, and construction. After living most of my adult life in LA and more specifically the last 10 - years, I have found that there are not many "young guys" that are into cars or car culture. Back in the 80's the Asian imports were really popular here especially given all the 80's movies that featured them. No one can forget LA car culture back in the 50's & 60's. However, with the advent of electric cars over the last 10 - 20 years, car culture amongst young guys seems to have almost disappeared here. I have many friends and neighbors with driving age young sons that have absolutely no interest in even getting a driver's license let alone getting their first car as a "fixer upper" to work on in their parent's garage after school/work each day. The San Fernando Valley and South Bay were hubs of car culture "back in the day". At 14 years old I found my first car in a farmer's front yard siting on four flat tires with a blown engine for $25 bucks. I got one of my buddies that had their driver's license to help my tow the 1964 Corvair back to my dad's auto repair shop where Pops taught me how to rebuild the motor and any other components that needed help. He then repainted the Corvair in its original Burgandy color. Fortunately, the interior just needed a good scrubbing. I redyed the faded carpet and the ole Corvair looked almost brand new! That is until I let a girlfriend try driving it which resulted in her hitting an adjacent parked 64" Mustang owned by a fellow student! My insurance paid to fix both cars however, Pops made me do all the work except the spray painting and pocketed the insurance money. Of course, that was to teach me a lesson about who you let drive your car! So, either I got way too old or living at the beach has insulated me from whatever car culture remains in Southern California. With that background I have to say it brings a smile when I see young guys that appear to "breath & eat" cars and know them so well as you do! Thank you for the enjoyable videos! Good luck on your future auction finds!

For the Porsche: In the left side of the footwell there is a fusebox where you can connect plus and minus to a helper battery and then you can easily open the frunk

With a Porsche, the way to pop the bonnet with a flat battery is by opening the fuse compartment in the cabin, pop the red lever (from memory you push it and it pops out) it hen connect a spare battery or power source to the terminal inside the red lever and the negative to the door stop strap in the door jamb. Now use the electric hood release. DO NOT try to start the car from this terminal.

Balls of steel putting juice to flood cars without a fire extinguisher on hand lol

The early 70s Camero dragster was my favorite but any of those old cars would be great money makers there's no suchthing as flood damage with cars from the 70s or older as long as the salt water doesn't rust them out

Great video, keep it up!🏈

FYI, POrsches have a jump point in the fuse panel under the dash (driver side) to hook up a jump pack and open the hood.

Guys, don’t worry about mould (unless it’s caused physical Damage). All you need is TEA TREE OIL BAR SOAP. Or just liquid tea tree oil soap. Shave soap into 2L of very hot water. Dissolve thoroughly. Pour into empty cleaned 2L Soda plastic bottle, fill to 1/4 only, Shake like crazy until foams up. Shop vac all excess water first. squeeze foam onto carpets and seats. Sponge thick foam everywhere and let soak for 24 hours. Shop vac as much as possible. Reapply everywhere again and soak 24 hrs. Shop vac and use a Bissel steam cleaner or just hot water without soap to rinse any excess ….and vacuum dry as possible and crack all windows and use a small, safe, space heater and a fan to circulate air inside cabin. Pull up carpets if necessary. And check underneath. I’ve had a literal carpet of green and stank, coating entire seats, treated as above and it never returned

The White Audi RS5 was a real stunner. I’d have bid on that beauty.

"I DUNNO GUYS... THIS ROUSH MIGHT BE SUPERCHARGED???" Has the word "ROUSHCHARGED" right on the hood lol

16:35 The Ferrari 360 Modena. I owned one for about a year. Low end as far as Ferrari's go but one of the coolest models in my opinion.

6:53 nooo, DB9's have problems with their seats only moving forward. It's a very common problem that can be fixed, the seats just need recalibrating. I doubt water messed those up, most likely just that problem

That range rover isnt turning on the central console screens due to low battery. Easy battery change would fix that. I had same car and that was the problem.

My trick for getting hoods or truck to open when batters are dead. Take your booster and hook to the hot wire that runs to the fuse box. If u can't get to it use two nails in a fuse spot. Second you can hook to the red wire on the starter. And ground on the frame

You need to buy the blue car with the blower because you can replace everything else. Basically you need a motor that Texas speed can build you then you can get a powerglide transmission

Starting flood cars can be very dangerous….would not be going around trying to start every single flood car…can literally cost whoever buys it thousands of dollars in damage….I get you are doing it to see if you want to buy it but pretty risky.

So many project cars. Definitely worth the effort to put them in a garage and work on them if the engine is good.

So good too see he is still doing this kind of stuff I've been watching him since he was at 30 k subs:)

Reason why you can't just repair flooded cars is it's impossible to verify integrity of all the affected parts. They may look good and intact but there can be micro corosion and ingress under the surface, parts are no longer guaranteed to able to withstand the use they were designed for. Certain bits and pieces, mainly not touched by water and not electronics and engine parts can be salvaged, hence the reason for these sale yards. But should never try to fix one and drive around, all insurance companies automatically write them off for a reason.

The best car to get out of all the options, easiest fix.

in the fuse box to the Porsche, there should be a little red thing to pull out & put a jumper on it to power the hood release.

You could still salvage the cars that have mold in it just get a shitload of wood punks , or incense. The formaldehyde in the wood punks kill all of the mold spores, you want to set at least 24 hours after the vehicle has been fully dried.

Judging by the water levels on the Rover it’s probably just a few corroded grounds. Those electronics are super finicky and can easily stop functioning to prevent a short

In the 911 there is a fusebox in the footwell, 996 onward with a pull out jump point for the hood release to get under the lid for the battery, remember for next time!

I think I'd go for the 991. The modular could have went bad as well and I think it will go for a little price on top of it
