- These sellers were not trying to hide anything with their shoddy work on this third-party auction car. They just got in way over their head on this rebuild and are trying to unload it. Today we will take a look at the laughable work on this Ford F150 Platinum edition, and I'll explain how it ended up in the auction with a salvage title even though it was never totaled.

Sorry, these videos are getting very redundant and tiresome. Get back to your old format, which was great, or pack it in.
So, I should stop making videos because you don't like them? Rather than watching something else, your recommendation is to deprive other viewers that like these videos of what they want. How very selfish of you! I am now going to make more of these videos.
@@vehcor I read you like a dirty book. Regrettably we share exactly the same kind of humor
@geoffreysimpson3286 Transition period until a new shop is procured. They are informative and entertaining. You do have a choice, you know......
.
Meet geoffreysimpson, the only man on the planet who watches TH-cam in black and white AND 480p.
31,000 people would disagree.
C'mon Scott, give them a little credit, they may not have used drywall screws, but they did use the more expensive green painter's tape!
And rivets! 😂
@@vehcor. lol, yes! I use rivets on all my fine repairs! (Just in case the sarcasm isn’t properly conveyed, I only use rivets where the manufacturer specifies…. I wouldn’t want anyone to mistake my attempt at humor for actual “information”). Lol
It would make a fine farm truck. No title necessary.
You missed one good part, the gas door still looked usable. 😂
That better be a $15k gas door! 😂
Just jack up the gas door and slide a new truck under it.
Ooh, ooh! Don’t forget the tailgate!!! With the price of tailgates nowadays, you would be well on your way to getting your money back!
Hands down, the best channel for learning and you get it straight up. Thanks Scott
Thanks for the support!
Scott.. you had a slue of em to check out when you made that road trip. The entertainment your providing is priceless. Thanks for doing what you do. Stay safe and be well. God bless
There was probably 40 from our favorite seller alone and I think 175 third party cars that week. Not all of them were doctored up though.
Your videos are always on point, keep it going
😮That seller was aiming for Mr. Spotty with a pellet gun.
They missed…. A lot! 😂
This F150 would be an easy fix, just replace the body!!!! Hopefully the frame is still OK.
might be a good donor for a flood truck that has a good body.
@@patriotgarage. Yes. Depending on the state you live in. The laws are different everywhere. In Oregon (it may have changed by now; this happened about 14 years ago) A friend of mine had a ‘55 Chevy truck. Turned out it had a 56? (All I can remember for sure is that it was a similar year, but not the same year.) frame. During a level 3 inspection, they caught that, and would not let him have registration. In AZ (My home state.). Mismatched frame/body will usually get you a “AVIN” ( ASSIGNED VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER). It’s an etched, stainless steel plate that goes in your door jamb, and has about 9 numbers. Homemade trailers get the same thing, as do theft-recovered vehicles that have had the original dash-mounted VIN plate removed.
what about the interior!!!LOL. air bags seats headliner etc. huge bucks!!!!
The 2015 thru 2017 year models were the best looking F-150's ever. They looked big and beefy. The newer models look wimpy. Great video Scott. That was one nice truck when it was new.
You know…. I’m not a ford fan, (unless we’re talking about a Mustang, certain models of the Ranger and F150/250/350/etc. I’ve owned multiple examples of these Damn, I guess I am a bit of a Ford fan… who knew?)
But I have to agree with you, on the looks department. This model F150 is the best looking in the last 20+ years! The newer models (and the ‘14 and up GM full size trucks look terrible)
There better than jellybean.
These fill in til things pick up videos, are insanely satisfying to me, as a person who's worked in automotive insurance. Keep them coming!
I enjoy your commentary. You crack me up. I always have to watch your videos whenever they come up for recommendation. Keep up the amazing content.
You've shown us some hack jobs before but I think this one is close to the top. The vent holes to let the hot air is a nice touch.
They clearly were not trying to hide anything. They just knew when to throw in the towel. 😂
Wow, they thought they were going to repair an aluminum vehicle ....LOL.
I don't know how it works in Illinois or Florida but in Colorado abandoned vehicles must be stored by the tow company for 6 months before a title may be issued. So 9999 out of 10000 will not sell for enough to cover storage.
28 days on newer vehicles, which require a sale. Older vehicles are 7 and require no sale. This is best case scenario but rarely do the police work that fast. Generally double the times on paperwork.
Thanks for sharing. In our area (no Title ), the cars that are sold under the garage keepers act as clean status if No claim was made to the insurance bureau.
I always like to hear about other states laws, when it comes to vehicle status. If you don’t mind me asking; what state? My gut says “Texas”…. Just curious. I once heard (many years ago… at least 20, but less than 30, I should think.) that Texas had no “Salvage/Rebuilt title designation. I don’t know if that’s true, or has ever been true…
Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.
I always love your videos, all these doctored up vehicles you show on YT I buy them up with dry wall screws and all, I pick up where the others have left off, I live next to a Bondo factory and buy it wholesale bulk prices, in fact one of your doctored up trucks I used so much Bondo that the truck was leaning on the left side, I had to put air struts on the left side and that truck sold quick! The Bondo wasn't even fully dry, made allot of money on that one even though it had a severely bent frame and drove offset. You made me allot of money and I just wanted to thank you!
Thank You Scott.
Hello Scottie ! Thanks for sharing your expertise .
No problem!
They added the fun of discovering mold/mildew and rust in hidden areas with all those holes, they could have at least filled in the holes, even if they used waterproof tape, so the buyer has some piece of mind that there's little to no risk of water finding it's way into the interior and no moisture getting into the electronics. That truck is now truly F'd up. SMH.
Need some pics of top of roof. Headliner removed to push out roof dents possibly?
Yes, I believe that was their intention.
7K is still twice what I'd pay.
It still has some value in salvage.
It’s a LITTLE high, but if the truck has the “Coyote 5.0” motor, it’s definitely worth it. (I didn’t notice, and I’m too lazy to go back and re-watch to see if I can figure it out.
@JasonMcCord-qk3yb no it has the std 3.5
Looking forward to the next rebuild Scott!
you're doing great, I was in the trade for almost forty years, and look foward to your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
I need to correct you on a couple of points:
1) The tail lights are not missing - everyone on the road knows that F150 drivers have no use for signals, so the factory has stopped installing them.
2) That's not primer on the roof of the F150 - it's faded paint. That part of the truck is the closest to the sun, so its just lost its lustre a little earlier than the rest of the truck. It is at least 6 months old after all.....
3) You were correct about the holes on the cab being a vent, but that's a factory fitment rather than a doctored segment. Most Ford drivers tend to wax on about the benefits of their truck over all other makers and all that hot air has got to go somewhere or all the seals explode out of the vehicle. It's also a handy spot to put your hands on cold days in order to to push it.
4) Air bag deployment - that can happen any time the driver's feelings were hurt by someone dissing their truck and telling them they should have bought a Chevy or RAM - or even a Toyota - instead.
Pop rivets - nope, that one I have no explanation for.....
Don't know whether to laugh or cry on this one - but a good presentation. Wishing you and yours happy days!
Thank you for the knowledge Scott.
You bet!
Thank goodness I finally found this channel again. I’ve been looking for weeks. Idk how my channel unsubscribed from here.
Thanks for sharing your extensive experience. ( I just realized that Mr. Spotty is a self-portrait 😄)
😁
Heartbreak. This FX4 is a milestone for Ford in my humble opinion
They drilled the holes so that a blind person could read the braille
Yes, it says, “you might want to find another truck!” 😂
@@vehcor. No, no! It says “This one runs. Buy it now, if you can!” As a disabled person myself, I find this type of predatory false advertising to be the worst thing humanity (And Ford) has to offer! Truly shameful!
Thanks Scott!!
Your knowledge is enlightening to say the least. I've been following this series and learning along the way. But I'm curious why states don't have laws stating that a totaled vehicle must either be stripped for parts or just outright crushed. Sure would cut down on illegal activities. Obviously I'm wrong or there would be such laws, right? Thanks again. 👍👍👍
Looks to be listed wrong, saying it is an XLT looks to be a Platinum. I see the rear taillights are missing. If those are blind spot lights, OEMs can be a lot of money. They probably kept them to resell.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience about all this :)
Glad it was helpful!
Love your stuff Scott! Bless you sir!
Thank you kindly!
What a waste of time to do all of that "work" thinking someone might not notice the molestation !
Looks good to me 🙈
"The Sellers found a shovel...." Heh heh heh heh heh!!! I gotta get more coffee before I watch this, this could be fun.....
As it was sold by a towing company, meaning the owner didn’t have comprehensive/collision insurance, I’d walk away. If you can’t afford to have full insurance on a newer vehicle that is certainly worth having full insurance on, then you probably aren’t maintaining it well either.
Happy Sunday, Scott!🍻 Hate what they did to this F150.
Doesn’t matter what they did to this truck, it was toast to begin with.
Happy Sunday!
Scott, are some of those holes for better aerodynamics and better gas mileage? 😂 I like how they list it as an XLT when it’s a Platinum !! 🤣
Great Stuff Scott 👍
Nice job on the video.
Listed as an XLT, but it had a Platinum Tailgate? You even commented the tailgate was nice. I wonder if they bought that & put it on.... Not sure that was a Platinum Truck....
My Landscaper drives stuff like that, for his work trucks... I mean, they have lights, they are mechanically somewhat viable, but they do not look any better than that... He pays nothing for them.
It has the platinum seats and badges as well. The auction uses the vin to decode the make, model and trim. This one may have started on the line with an XLT vin but an order came in and they changed in production.
You sure found a lot of doctored up vehicles in Florida. The warm climate must be the cause!
his primary fan that doctors them are based in FL
I didn’t even scratch the surface. Our favorite sellers have at least 30 a week alone.
The 2015 F150 went to an all aluminum body, which is probably why it was more difficult for them to pull panels out, since Aluminum tends to tear when pulled.
It almost looks like they bought it to rebuild, thinking they could repair the panels...then found out it was aluminum and they can't TIG weld. lol
Going to be a bunch of flood cars soon at Copart, that tropical storm is supposed to drop a ton of rain on florida and the southeast.
Flood cars are parts cars!
Good luck with any late model Ford pickup. Those are aluminum body panels, and aluminum doesn't give up its dents and creases easily.
If the bags are deployed, then the seat belts on those chairs are no good, the airbag computer will need a reset or replacing, along with the clockspring in the steering column if that bag went off.
This thing is a total. It's worth the front end, tailgate, the interior, and perhaps the frame and drivetrain. The body and bed are trash.
Drilled all those holes, THEN figured out it was aluminum... so out came the tape and rivets. C'mon, give me a break, man. I did the best I could with the 35 bucks I had. :)
They went over budget and had to stop. 😂
Thanks for the video Scott.
Thanks for another great video.
No problem!
Ray Charles: Not NO but HELL NOOOO!
Stevie Wonder: oh hell NAW!
I was detoured by Waze into Harvey and I believe I drove by the old shop. Burned building by railroad tracks and looked about right 😂.
Lots of burned out buildings there but not the shop I was at.
$15k?!? I nearly peed my pants! 🤣🤣🤣
I swear they throw darts at a dartboard for these prices sometimes! 😂
This was an interesting lesson. Have you decided on your next course of action yet?
That is a thrashin around the farm truck now. Sheesh
These videos are informative for the auction buyer, insfor as listening to an extremely experienced mechanics thought process on how to assess a used and in these cases these vehicles are USED AND ABUSED. So you can learn something here on what to look for and what scammers are up to. Like a lesson from your older brother when you drag him out to see that bargain some fast eddie is trying to palm off on you. But I know alot of people who wont agree with this as all they want to see is some rich dude putting a turbo on a turbo on a lamborghini...
But on the plus side,all those holes allows the new owner to have the world's most expensive mobile cheese grater.
Really enjoying your videos. Kindest regards 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Glad you like them!
Those F150 taillights that are missing are very expensive.
I’m guessing they were broken anyway given the damage on the bedside.
Thanks for this video. Somebody may use it for parts.
Punching holes to pull dents has been out of fashion for 30 years... You can buy a stud welder at Harbor Freight...
I forgot Ford went aluminum...
Since you mentioned Wolverine, when are we getting your version of the Deadpool NSYNC dance
I'm guessing this was for someone to learn or to train someone. Once the "class" was over, it was sent to auction.
I hope they were showing them what NOT to do! 😂
Brilliant Scott thanks 😊😊
I bought my daily driver 07 civic from a tow yard for $500 with a blown engine. Now I’ve got a reliable car that I’m maybe 1,500-2grand into
I have done so many engine swap flips from tow yards over the years. Easy money!
My ex's oldest daughter wrecked her car and she only had liability on her car. We knew the shop it was towed to and the car wasn't worth paying to get out. We called up the tow yard and asked if we could just sign the title over to them as the car was destroyed. If she would of had full coverage on the car it would of been like a 11k car. But the oldest didn't put it on the car. The rear end of the car was crushed going backwards into a tree and rolled onto it's roof. it was crushed badly into the back seat that luckily no one was back there. Not sure what the shop did with the car it would have only been good for it's motor and transmission. But the car had a clear title that was signed over to the shop.
Any news about a new shop? At Llast, keep doing those kind of vídeos. We miss your “clàssic” content.
What did it collide with, a giant bucket of white paint? Thanks for the video, Scotty.
I just bought a CLEAN 2012 Harley edition F150 with a 6.2L and just a bit over 100k for 11k at auction. These F150's are just not worth that kind of money to then have to rebuild them. A clean 6cyl of that year won't wholesale for much over 11 if that, with a clean title.
Hey Scott, how about a lesson or two on finding good rust free southern truck sheet metal.. front ends, cabs, beds? Where do I look?
It still amazes me how they get away with this! I guess it is one of the those cases of buyer beware...
They probably found out what those platinum led tail lights go for.
They were probably damaged, given the bedsides in that area.
Nice!

This is clearly a product of the Harbor Freight School of auto body repair. The home school package is free when you purchase the starter tool package from them. I’m pretty sure this guy didn’t actually graduate though.
Are you sure that's bondo dust? I thought airbags use powdered lubricants that cover the car after being deployed.
Just picked up a square body needs rockers small floor patches cab corners and cab work.
Honestly these doctored up ones pretty much make them useless to be repaired or get used for parts....which kinda sucks for a lot of vehicles that come through that get "fixed"
I like your background wall art
It would be perfect for the Niko Brothers, they do some great sub par rebuilds.
Technically speaking, It looks like it takes some special skills to bodywork and weld aluminum vs working on steel sheetmetal.. How do you fix these properly?
Hugh Jackman: Sorry about the rental. 🤷
This vehicle has only a few holes. If you want to see holes pole barn garage has a GTO called the holey goat and it has 1000's, IT RUNS AND DRIVES! He even takes it to car shows. LOL
i sooo love these videos! great work!
As for these guys trying out a new line of work, in this world there are people that paint beautiful pictures, there are also people that make picture frames for these pictures, maybe these guys are artists??? ;-)
And then there are the junk haulers that pick up the pictures years down the road to take to the dump. That is theses guys! 😂
All I can say is dont walk. RUN RUN FAST AWAY
I understand you are currently shop less at the moment but when do you think you’ll be back to doing builds ?
No idea, I am ready to give up looking. I should have built my own, I would be six months closer.
$7K towing and storage bill? What do these places charge, $50 a day?
Could be, it might have been there for 6 months too.
I just bought a 2004 F150 for six hundred duck3ts... He said it had a new transmission and new timing chain/phasors put in about 30k miles ago.. All it needs is an alternator and wont' start since it has been parked now. lol.. Wish me luck. Time to start trouble shooting
What kind of glass are they using in the doors? Do they not use tempered glass anymore?
Does adding holes or drywall screw add even $10 to what they get out of these?
Woody Woodpecker goes Psyco!
Few flaws I seen was that Ford is all over the thing. 🚗🚗🚗
Those are "speed holes" 😉
This thing must be fast! 😂
@@vehcorIf you're on the highway and roadrunner goes beep beep 🎶
It would make a good ranch truck. Beater.
Finally, an F150... oh. Dang. It's bad.
Happy Sunday!
No Cross fit in the Olympics then??
Happy Sunday! I have not watched an of the Olympics . I might watch crossfitters to laugh! 😂
looks like someone didn't realize that 2015 was the first year of the Beer/Soda Can F150 and found out REALLY fast that repairing Aluminum body panels was WAY over their Paygrade/skill level!
Aluminum and I do not get along at all. I just replace panels, which is usually the recommended repair procedure anyway.
@@vehcorand I remember back when they were first introduced, body shops that wanted to work on the aluminum F150 had to invest a lot of money for tools, equipment and training and be certified by Ford themselves before they could work on them.
wonder what a cab and doors would be worth with airbags and seats cause the frame looks fairly straight
A flood car would be prefect to fix this.
Mr spotties nephew on the roof. Lol
