Copart Walk Around 3-27-21 + $1200 Corvette Convertible (it runs!)

It definitely needs to lower the idle a bit, it's running fine, although it

runs

great, I'm telling you man, a coat of paint would change the whole dynamic of this truck, I'd keep hoping the idle would drop. I'm pretty sure this is one of those hybrid carburetors. It is the time between carburetors and fuel injection where the carburetors were electronically controlled. I'm going to continue doing that electronically controlled. Everything was electric and they were absolute rubbish. Come on, idle, girl. No, she probably won't have to go in there and adjust it manually, I don't know what else you want from her, she

runs

, she goes forward and backward, the brakes work, the power steering works, the doors work, the tires actually work. come well It's not dry rotted, too bad the alternator is charging, turn all that off, it's not even necessary, yeah, adjust the idle, this one and this one are on my list, we've never done one of these before and I think it's time to take a quick look below.

If she is pouring any liquid, that did a lot more for me than it did for you, but that's okay, I could see that she didn't spill any liquid under her, yeah, this is a decent man, I don't remember if this was listed as running and drive or not, the windshield wipers work more or less fine, eh, you know, yeah, the turn signals seem to work, the headlights, yeah, the headlights seem to work, let's turn on the blinkers, here we go, just out of curiosity, yeah even the manual windows work let's take a look and see if we have flashers back here we do it's hard to see but yeah the brake lights are on too or the tail lights.

I should say flashing lights, tail lights absolutely and the same thing up here we have headlights, corner lights and turn signal, that headlight works, I don't think this turn signal is working here no, hey, I'll take it, man, I'll take it. cool old truck, what a cool truck, let's shut this down, yeah, you're not quitting, aria, come on, come down, old lady, no, okay, let's shut it down, do you think it'll start again, probably not, no, it's over , it's over. that's like a nail, run it just for safety, okay guys look here's the deal for six hundred dollars, I'll take advantage of this all day, but I'll tell you another secret about these if you need a carburetor, good luck.

Carburetors for these things are usually very expensive, but again, like I said, for six hundred dollars, we're taking a chance, so let's see what happens. I know, I know, I know we don't need another damn quirk on the channel, but damn. Man, we'll have to check it out. So far the body doesn't look too bad. It needs a lot of paint. We obviously have a dent in the fender that can be fixed with a lot of clear coat, so I'm ignoring all that. because that's just paint, that's just paint, the tires look good, yeah she's tough in the paint department, she's very, very tough, looks like she might be a little wet in there, we'll have to check that out too now that this It is classified as a whim. single exhaust with trailer hitch we have some rust and this rocker here uh yeah I don't have high hopes for this one guys no no no uh in the pictures I'm sure she was although yeah she's a little bit , a little, a little rough. man, oh, okay, she's so tough, oh, crunchy, okay, oh, wow, yeah, Putin's Fabulous Store, if you haven't seen Puddin's Fabulous Store, you should see the guy, it's a local Oklahoma and I found it maybe a month ago.

He's built up a huge subscriber base, but you guys know you probably haven't seen it yet and he has a Corolla that he put big all-terrain tires on and it has a roof very similar to this one and it blew my mind. Upstairs, man, he said, uh, it looks like Wolverine and Edward with the scissors hands were doing the macarena inside his car and I say you're right, yeah, yeah, he's a funny guy, he's a funny guy, so a Big shout out to Putin's fabulous store. You gotta check him out, man, he's always doing these amazing builds, man, and uh, he's one of those one of those YouTubers that I really enjoy watching, he always makes me laugh.

What do we have underneath? I'm going to guess this is a 5 liter. Do you think this thing even works? It is a 5 liter. It has spider webs everywhere. I don't think it'll work, guys. He says it's not a rail. Let's take a jump. Let's see what he does. Yeah, maybe spin something. for 200 bucks I'll buy it, I'm sure it's fine, the booster pack is on, but like I said guys, I just don't, I don't have much hope for this old girl, this is a bit, this is too harsh. for me, but you know, like I said for 200, if they let it go, I'm sure it actually sounds like it's ripping off the board pretty good, it's got some cracks, but honestly, it's not that bad.

I've seen much worse on these many tapes. waste, you'll probably eliminate most of that. I don't see a gas needle anywhere, yeah, I'm thinking, oh look, you're low on coolant, low on oil, low fuel lights, I love it, it starts healthy, I can't hear the fuel pump, okay? let's kill the booster pack she turns on she doesn't run let's take a look here and what do you guys think varnish that's what I thought too yeah that's gross okay yeah guys I don't know I'm thinking we already made one we already had one we bought it it was fun we sold it let's not do it uh this is too much man this is too much we won't do it last on the list before they kick us out of here is this uh this soft yellow banana guy the paint doesn't match at all between the front maybe it's just faded oh uh this is down the window is down it's been getting wet there are wires everywhere it's a

convertible

the windows coming out of it look like it's probably probably been sitting for a while, this is $

1200

right now.

I thought I had to come here and smell the gas tank. It's worth opening the hood real quick, like I said, they're going to kick me out in like three. minutes so oh yeah she's tough guys she's tough and I don't think she wants to stay up boy oh boy uh where do you guys keep the battery for this thing? she's in the same place she was yes she is so we can plug this in real quick and we'll see if she does anything she's okay come on bad boy let's go at least I want to hear how it works.

I'm open to the idea of ​​another

corvette

, okay, she is. there let's see if something happens no I don't see anything guys we have some gauges going now 142,000 miles she runs oh she runs yes sir and that's all I need she's wrecked she's not pretty but she runs and she's listed as a non-runner , so don't tell anyone, but for $1,200 I will definitely try this in the dark for twelve hundred dollars. There is no way you can lose money on this mako. You can send it. Send it. down, get painted, make her look, uh, make her look pretty again, okay guys, unfortunately, like I said, they're kicking us out, we have to go, probably one of my shortest shared tours ever, but I had to get out. here and see some of these cars for you and me, I mean I really can't, I don't know what to bid on a car if I can't go out and see it for myself, thanks to coming here I'm not bidding on that uh what was that?

A Ford uh Fiesta, it wasn't a Fiesta Focus. I'm not bidding on that Focus because I saw it said there were no gears in the windshield. I did not see that. The photos are so good that I came out here, big shout out and thanks to Copart, come on man I'm getting wet here, I'm getting wet, I'm muddy, my carpets are dirty now, oh I've got mud everywhere anyway, Guys, I am. I'm getting out of here, I know it was short and sweet to the point. I hope you enjoyed it if you pressed the thumbs up button if you didn't press the thumbs down button follow me on Facebook and Instagram auto auction rebuilds Until next time, stay safe.

I hope to see you all very soon in the next one.
