Very rare to see such minimal problems with salvage auction hellcat. That rebuild went WAY too smoothly ššš
-
PLEASE donāt strip this one, there will be plenty more totaled/stolen challengers to get parts from, but having one as clean as this is BEYOND a rarity

Hey Lee, allow me to explain the damages to your car. The reason why that pink cord was disconnected from the Uconnect is because itās an antenna/tracker, same with the rear view mirror. Thieves usually disconnect them to make sure it canāt be tracked. Thereās also a third tracker on the rear right side under the headliner so make sure those are still plugged in. The reason for your passenger side being took down is because thereās a something called the star connector, which is used to bypass the security and add a key. Thereās also another way through the security gateway module, which was why that was broken as well. They probably tried one way and it didnāt work so they tried the other way. And lastly, Iām sure you know why the driver window was broken. I hope I answered your questions.

The reason you have keys and the wheels were loose: the insurance called the owner and gave them the chance to recover their stuff. They took the aftermarket wheels off and left the two keys.

"Felt my credit score drop the 2nd I got in this thing" š¤£

Bet the guys who stole it couldn't really drive a stick, which is why the tires are still good :)

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while. Great job on this one! Very deserving. Scrap is where itās at. Known many great people to make a fortune on salvage vehicles. Love the channel, keep the videos flowingā¦..

This type is actually very entertaining. something very satisfying seeing you get these dream cars for cheap at salvages and almost immediately turn it around to be a car worth displaying. keep it up
-
Just a heads up! My 2018 Durango SRT 392 was stolen in Baltimore, it was recovered and insurance called it a constructive total loss. It was towed to Copart in Finksburg. Prior to being stolen it was CHERRY. It only has 29k miles! I'd love to see you guys buy it and rebuild it.
-
Itās a shame because someone probably got their car to the exact spec they wanted it at all to end up having it stolen. That color Iām not a fan of but a hellcat challenger with the manual is what I want
-
This was an extremely lucky situation for it to not have anything at all wrong. Definitely cash in on this car, get the title rebuilt and sell it as a rebuilt car. You could easily get $45,000 - $50,000 out of it as-is.
-
Body shop tip use sprayable, seam sealer or undercoating in the door. Itāll will encapsulate any piece of glass you canāt get out and stop the rattling. Make sure not to clog the drain holes.
-
the mirror was cut because it has the location for the navigation so when it is reported stolen it can be tracked so by cutting it they get rid of the tracking
-
09:20 blowing glass chunks out of the door with no eye protection. Living on the edge, priceless!
-
I cannot understate how lucky you got. Sometimes insurance companies donāt want to deal with the headache and be lazy to their due diligence on the car. Happy for you bro, looks awesome. You can easily make a profit on this
-
Dude got an absolute steal regardless if youāre a mopar fan or not
-
PLEEEEEEEAAAASE NEVER STOP BUYING THESE HELLCATS, IT is so satysfying to watch. Such awesome cars men! <3
-
I don't watch these types of videos but this is really enjoyable. I was captivated in the educational and humor of it all. Seeing the repairs and fun of the hellcat. Good stuff !
-
Looks like this car will get to stay together! I was worried you might part it out because there are so many good parts! Sure an easy rebuild compared to most of them!
-
Gotta love the easy builds! LeeC deserves one after all the Demon issues.
