Salvaging A DESTROYED Shelby GT350!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I just gambled on a $13,000 Shelby GT350 from the Salvage Auction (SPOILER ALERT: It's REALLY totaled..)
With 0 straight body panels and 1 5.2l VooDoo engine that is allegedly an oil down waiting to happen, you might be wondering why I found it prudent to spend $13k on it..
Well as it turns out, there's quite a bit of money to be made on Mustangs like this! As long as the engine is good, that is... So come get a peek into the world of salvaging high end sports cars (and also mustangs) to see if we can manage to stay afloat financially!

After cherry picking videos from the channel I thought I'd start from the beginning and watch the lot, including the videos I'd already watched. It took two full weeks but what a ride! You guys have great chemistry and it makes for some hilarious times! Can't wait for the next video, take care! 👍

Guys I would really like to see you guys rebuild the Red GT350R! That would be outstanding content!
That 350r took a pretty good hit but worth saving. Best spec (race red, stripe delete, R model *interior red accents*)
This is such a good episode! didn’t know watching a car get stripped for parts would be so good! You are confident in your knowledge, funny, happy cohost, honest and open financial info clean editing and the music intermission instead of annoying saw cutting was perfect. Keep it up!
I’m an upholster & to get rid of the indentations use a heat gun but be careful come from the back & push out while heatin it up works everytime
You gotta let Dalt repair that car !
Very informative. I love the forensic accounting. Well done.
Thanks for the videos Lee! I'd like to see more Euro cars at the shop. Maybe of the BMW or AMG variety???
Love to see you rebuild the Mustang!!
Yes stitch a second had rear half on it you must have parts available in youre workshop I'm a panelbeater in new Zealand and have done many cut and shuts there is some good dollars to be made in that car love you're videos keep them coming watch you guys all the time
Gt350r goes crazy! Rebuild for sure!
@ameltjr9802

no different than a regular gt350. exact same engine and transmission. Only slight tweaks and carbon fiber wheels make an R.
The mustang went for the crowd in this one
Nice parts management system!
sometimes i wish i lived in the states so i could help with all this or find vehicles lol, i love seeing videos like this and learning new things
I buy parts from you all the time, & I just found this channel. Crazyyyy good video
I’m so excited to see more of the GT350R
I have a lot of experience with GT350s and 350Rs on track. I'll bet you'd have a ton of fun with the red car as a track car. Ford put out a fix for the oil filter harmonic issue IIRC. As for oil consumption, both cars I have experience with were warmed up gently, but driven hard once warmed up. Currently, the 350R has 10,000 miles, 3-4000 of which are on the track. The 350 didn't burn oil and neither does the current 350R. Oil changed before every track day with the OEM ford 5W50. That's my personal experience with the 5.2.

Oil consumption is part of the design. You may have later model with higher tension rings. Plus, people that continue to recirculate oil back into the crank case are asking for issues. The oil must be captured by a separator and not recycled into the case. A separator and clean rings make all the difference.
That #1 spot will be that Red Honda on the lift in the background 😬....and heck yes gt350r....that will be nice!
You should do more videos like this, and more with mustangs!!
Def would like the see the rebuild of the red 350 R and the race between the Z28 like Dalt said.
Would be interesting to see it saved And more content for your channel
Love to see that Shelby rebuilt... And as for dead inventory you should have a garage sale at your local flea market.. may make more money plus your channel merchandise
Hell yes we want to see the 350r rebuilt!!
would love to see the 350r rebuild. would be amazing to see that car drive again. also did anyone notice the crack on the right side of the transmission housing at 19:22 by the blue numbers? dont know if that'll affect the trans at all or not
Yes fix it I would love to see the process of it getting fixed
As ALWAYS I LOVE the content you and the team puts out but I had a question this week! Why haven’t yall indulged in the tesla/ev market? The maintenance and repair on teslas for parts or sensors are wicked high so I have to imagine the resale value of used parts have to be pretty darn good right!? Only thing I could imagine is that tesla does a parent coding system where if it’s not the exact same one that came with the car the parts cant be swapped out but I seriously can’t imagine that’s true either with how often parts go bad right?
I’m down for a rebuild series on the Mustang. Let’s go!!!!
Easy call, fix it! Great content and the car needs to LIVE!
Hey scraplife team. Im really looking to get into my first c6 and was curious on your opinions on the early models vs 08' and newer models. Essentially my question is if the ls3 is worth forking out the extra money for considering that this would be my first vette and that the harmonic balancing issue of the ls2 seems to be solvable. would love to hear what everyone in the comments has to say.
Hell yeah let's go GT350 R rebuild!
just curious here, when you use the car for scrap, i always wondered why the glass or windshield arent kept before the car goes off to the scrap yard. i would think someone might be looking for one. ?
Rebuild 🔥
You absolutely should rebuild the 350R, they were very limited from the dealer and most get parked and that would be a good track toy or good to be a menace with
Hi guys! Awesome video. Are going to sell those GT350 bad wheels? Please let me know thanks!
AWESOME!!!! Sweet buy!!
Hell yes GT350R rebuild
These go off roading more than all trucks ever made
Looks like you could use some of the driver's rear section of the GT350 to fix the GT350R.
Can you do a video on explaining the process of a leak down test? I've never seen it done, that why
I love this channel 👍🏽
That’s gna be crazy to fix that
Can’t wait for the red mustang r rebuild
Wow what an car brother I will love to build one up
If you guys rebuild that GT350R it would make an awesome track car - buzz me I’d buy it!
Just finished a 87 Fox body hatch with saleen body kit rust free put a bolt in front and rear sub frame installed a gen 3 coyote with upgraded internals, oil pump gears, crank support, id1400 injectors,Texas speed turbo cams twin demon fuel pumps and twin 76 mm turbos hidden under the car by the built turbo 400 and a circle d converter 3500 at all should be around 1500 whp safely in e85
Although ive seen worse fixed, id definitely say send this one down the road. Lol and id definitely love to see the shelby fixed and keep track what it costs.
Excelente video como siempre ❤ cuando tendremos noticias del Demon 🥺

Yeah thats what i never get is why start a new build when you haven’t even given a update in 3 months for your other one
I used to part out E46 M3 before even the wrecked ones doubled in price. Not worth the headache anymore.
love your content.
GT 350 R?... Absolutely!! Do It😁
Love this car, sad to see it take the usual Mustang route😂
When will I see an update on the dodge demon manual swap?
Love to see a video on the 302s.. and for 10k… wow
6:08 Fernando got that business mindset
Would really love to see that repair
Absolutely do red Gr350R Mustang rebuild
Front right mud guard is also specific to gt350, and it cost a lot. And as i see it was ok
I would love to watch a build series on that gt350R and have that thing doing burnouts and hearing that flat plane crank scream
Yesss Fixed it !
I would love to see what the actual profit was on a salvage story after a year or so and how it compares with the theoretical number
The 350 Intake is worth money, so is that strut brace. But if you get that motor, gearbox, and rear out of there you are doing Great..
I can't totally fix that bro. What color do you want it when it's done?
Great video. Fix the 'R'! thanks
If you have a lot of experience replacing quarter go for it I don’t and don’t want to get into something else I don’t understand m. Still learning
I'm in MD as well, and I just want to know how you get valid driver titles for these cars, MD MVA is a you know what about that.
Hell yes fix that GT-350R, such a rare car, that would be a cool build to see.
I'm a chevy guy and I still think you should fix that thing!!!
Shows great cars on instagram KZread everyday mustang 😂jk love the content
theres a orange lexus rcf on copart that looks pretty modified
Yes rebuild the red gt350R I love gt350s.
Amazing!!!!
Let Dalt fix will be great to see 👍🏽👍🏽
Ahw man wish I had a scrapyard, could be doing this forever.
Were the windows bad? I would had thought windows would had been good to keep?
Yes! Revive the red 350r
Love to see the red car repaired.. Honestly I cant imagine it.
Calculator screen on a gt350 is wild
Any updates on the manual hellcat?
I don’t know if it makes since but I’d like to see you get a f150 raptor. It might not make since and I would understand.
0:00 not controversial imo, definitely the most conversated and arguably the best mustang next to the 500
Hell yeah lets do this......Lets GO
HEY I NEEDED THAT BOLT!
Fixed yes
Man I am itching to get one of these this was a little to crunchy for me but that Red R just about my absolute dream spec, ruby red, carbon wheels, rear seat+stripe delete. Would love to see it fixed
