I just gambled $37,000 sight unseen on a "vandalized" Manual 2018 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, at over $20,000 off retail pricing, there's gotta be a catch, right?

Let's find out if we just bought the steal (pun intended) of the year, or if ignoring the golden rule of "if it's too good to be true, it probably it" is gonna bite us HARD...

  • Very rare to see such minimal problems with salvage auction hellcat. That rebuild went WAY too smoothly 😂😂😂
  • PLEASE don’t 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 it’s an antenna/tracker, same with the rear view mirror. Thieves usually disconnect them to make sure it can’t be tracked. There’s 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 there’s a something called the star connector, which is used to bypass the security and add a key. There’s also another way through the security gateway module, which was why that was broken as well. They probably tried one way and it didn’t work so they tried the other way. And lastly, I’m 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" 🤣
  • @cujocujo
    Bet the guys who stole it couldn't really drive a stick, which is why the tires are still good :)
  • 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
  • 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 !

    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.

    It’s 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 I’m not a fan of but a hellcat challenger with the manual is what I want
  • Body shop tip use sprayable, seam sealer or undercoating in the door. It’ll will encapsulate any piece of glass you can’t get out and stop the rattling. Make sure not to clog the drain holes.
  • Love the colour combo one mean machine also a easier rebuild than usual !Keep up the awesome content and have a great Christmas guys 😎
  • Dude got an absolute steal regardless if you’re a mopar fan or not
  • You killing it with these videos 🔥 keep it up I love watching them
  • Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while. Great job on this one! Very deserving. Scrap is where it’s at. Known many great people to make a fortune on salvage vehicles. Love the channel, keep the videos flowing…..
  • @thesearch9048
    Gotta love the easy builds! LeeC deserves one after all the Demon issues.
  • @KP-05
    I cannot understate how lucky you got. Sometimes insurance companies don’t 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

    09:20 blowing glass chunks out of the door with no eye protection. Living on the edge, priceless!
  • @Jonesyxd
    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
