Buying a car sight unseen from a salvage auction can be great! Or it can be a total nightmare but you won't believe what Rich Rebuilds and I find inside this SRT8 Charger. Not only are there things in the interior I can't type out (you have to watch) but I take apart the HEMI V8 engine to find some insane engine carnage. Looking inside this abused V8 engine with a boroscope will make you think twice about buying auctions cars without an inspection.
Go put Rich's videos on repeat so he can pay for this mistake.

01 ws6 here.no mopar. GM , AMG all the way lol
I love all your videos alex. You have helped me out by learning new things from you. Your a very good teacher and all around helpful. Just want to thank you even though we have never met your awesome. Did you get my email with pics of my 01 ws6 ?
I have really been going through allot lately with my father and helping raise my niece who turned 6 not too long ago yaa lol. I cant have kids so shes like my lil monster. Love her to death. Your videos keep me on and off my phone lol. On to learn and off to earn, for my ta of course.
2008 Jeep srt8
An SRT with Black Ice, 7.62 bullets, hollow tips & a pack of Newport’s... this car belongs to the STREETS
And blunt guts on the floor
I think those rounds were .223, not .308 or 7.62x39.
Yea wonder how many drills were committed with this vehicle
Like how can’t they tell this is a stolo
and owned by a white guy
Thanks for the help Alex but I'd like to get a second opinion if possible.
I'll get it towed to the dealer for ya. I'm sure it won't cost much.
just remove that piston/rod and run it on 7 cylinders. easy
Rich, hope you didn’t pay more than $500-$1,000 for that
LOL
I would definitely tear it down and see if it has any chance of being saved reasonably but sideways in the bore can't be good.
A commenter said he has a complete scat pack engine with everything and that might be a good option.
Welcome to the interior of every car that comes into a shop when you work in the metro Detroit area
Fast food grease everywhere
I can say working at a body shop in Livonia I confirm that to be true
Bent pushrod, piston broken in half, I'm going with hydrolock from the moronic home brew air intake.
Looks to me like it ran dry on oil and spun a bearing causing the rod to lock up and hit the valves 🤡
I have an 06 Daytona with a 5.7 hemi. Mine had the classic valve seat issue which grenaded my head and piston. However, thanks to channels like yours I stuck it in a storage unit and rebuilt the entire motor myself over the course of 6 months with only hand tools. I had no idea what I was getting into but nothing was more satisfying than hearing her start again. Thank you for having a channel that shows that people can do these things themselves.
and you didn't videotape it for youtube?!? dude :D
great project glad you brought it back to life
@@webfreakz right?? Looking back I kinda wish I had recorded it just for the memories. Thankfully I took a lot of photos to look back on.
@Bailey Hatfield I had one almost over heat on a super hot day a few months before the breakdown occured. I didn't completely peg the heat in the red but it was definitely over normal operating temp. I would look into this issue online, there are preventive repairs you can do to make sure it doesn't happen to your car. My car was also at 150k miles when the breakdown occured. I wish you all the luck with your charger.
That’s dope

“It’s a wing suit!” Lol
Yeah, it’s pretty sad this is “youtubers” are going for nowadays.
I think it’s lovely “they” are working together...
You going away from DIY to stupidshow now. Good luck to you all!
Anyways. it doesn’t matter, they need to make their money anyways they can, good job!
ZiZo shut up
The previous owner of that car is either dead or in jail.
The only two options
Those LED taillights. 10 seconds in and you can see it's shady af
Also could be in witness protection.
Car was confiscated and the auction got it.
Potheads.
Its obvious.
@@5thratenextjewsnetwork481 Potheads?😂how old are you? 45?
Lol, i love how he called out the black ice. I was thinking it!! 😂🤣😂
Pretty sure everyone was thinking it😂
You should get ahold of junkyard Dave on TH-cam hes got a couple of those engines! He might even be intrested In a collaboration?
Absolutely NOT!
Mitchell Gilbert why not ?
@@onebad4cyl yea why not
only good thing is the factory sub on the side of the truck that was a option that most people if they have they take it out of the car and sell it separately

Ya I know. Never again.

Unlike Rich!!!!
Matthew Wolfe It was alright
Dude that Res!!!
Matthew Wolfe yep I wanted to watch something else instead 😄
Btw there’s about 1 mag worth of ammo and with prices going up you have like $10 worth of ammo.
That doubles the worth of this junk.
Lmmfao
Shit where are you paying $10 for that small amount of rounds? I don't pay more than $0.15/round for .223/5.56.
@@sithyarael6807 Unless you're buying bulk, it's about 40-50 cents a round retail right now
@@popsicle33 Not around where I am. Although I do reload so don't pay much attention for that ammo. 9mm I can get 100 rounds for around $15.
He was in the military, I see the camelback (it has water in a backpack) tip in the back. That explains the tobacco, the bullets, and the repo lol. I was in the army. And this was the norm for most of the soldiers. You bought a car from dealerships at like 30% interest because they just wanted a "fast car" and then neglected the cars and stopped paying.
That was a .45 ACP hollow point round and the majority of the bullets were 5.56 mm rounds
They were 223s the 556s have a bigger base where the bullet meets the shell.
@@MvnnySends You're so full of shit. .223 and 5.56 are the same round.
we need an autopsy video of engine out to document Uncle Rich's courageous buy :D
Autopsy!
A pack of Newports and .223 in the cupholders. My man was doin' some work out there.
Definitely an assassin
Could be 556 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, I was thinking Wolf Gold .223 but it could be milsurp 5.56. My guess was Wolf Gold because it's so cheap.
Either way id bet they are for an AR type rifle
@@stonerayven2455 They might be rocking the old school Mini 14 like the A Team.
good luck rich as a mopar head it broke my heart seeing the SRT in that condition
The bore scope footage was great 👍🏾
Homie was sipping that syrup, smoking blunts and , doing drive-bys.
lol ...dat "sizzurp"
New Ports blunt wraps and lean this one definitely a hood car 😂
Not to mention the fucking ammo in the cupholders
On god not to mention the black Ice air freshener😂😂...
Well it’s Chicago
You never know when you’re going to have to reload
Suprised there werent no subs in the trunk 🤣🤣😭
6:26 definitely a pack of roll ups in there y’all didn’t discuss 😂💀💀
I lmao’ed when he called the seat cover a wingsuit😂😂😂😂
I have a 2010 SRT8 Challenger with the 6.1 Hemi. My CAI is a Mopar long ram and the filter resides in the drivers side fender, a bit more protected than the one shown. You would have to drive through an 18" puddle to hydrolock it.
With the 6.1 its critical to use correct weight oil. It has oil squirters for example that cool the piston skirts...very small galleys.
Crying shame about that engine, crank is forged though, may have lived.
The intake manifold is a work of art imho.
You will have to pull it apart to diagnose and see if its salvage worthy. Block may be cracked and that cylinder could be gouged too badly to recover with a .030 over.
Stock hp in my 2010 is 425.
Would love to see a tear down and possible rebuild of it.
cool story bro
the 5 speed auto is so garbage
I still think that engine may be salvagable.
If the crank /bottom end is good.and
if it's only that one piston damaged.
If the bore has light damage (as a piston is aluminium and relatively soft )
It could be re honed.
Of course if the block is cracked it's game over.
Buying a 2nd hand engine could end up with a similar situation...
@@tylercouture216 the regular chrysler 45rfe is, the mercedes one in the srt8s is fantastic.
There's no rebuilding that. All that oil on the ground tells me that the broken con rod punched a hole in the block. That crank is likely gacked too badly to even attempt to clean it up.
So.... buying a repo'd Dodge Charger from a salvage auction was *not* a smart move? Weird.
Those chargers were garbage and only young people bought them and they dogged them.
Lol
@@makeaway4554 as a car enthusiast from a young age, i am still butthurt about insurance costs even when i remember how my friend wrecked the MK4 supra i found for him
Lol 😂
I've bought 2 charger 5.7L cop cars. They're pretty good. A 2008 and a 2012. Both were only 2k
Anyone else Hope's they'll work on this srt8 and bring her back to life or is it just me
If it was a red car it would be worth it.
Fix it. It’s worth it. But he paid too much though.
Definitely not until it get a through hosing 😂
@@camerongarza8460 that's true 😂
@@williamconrad1087 yep I like it in red
I think the guy was driving in a high rate of speed when he hit some water. Hydrolocked engine at high RPM
As Rich said to Samcrac:
HAHAHAHA
I'm envisioning Sam, sat in his barn stroking some Ferrari part in his lap like a Bond villian, doing that evil mastermind laugh/cackle!!
"No, Mr Rich - I expect you to go bankrupt!!" Bwahahahahhh!!!
6.1’s are pretty bullet proof with the weak point being the valve train once you start adding power. i’ve seen many well over 200k miles even with boost. it’s obvious this one wasn’t taken care of though. also, that air intake actually is a pretty common design (legmaker makes one that’s pretty pricey), granted i think they are really meant for the people who don’t “daily drive” their cars and would see puddles that deep. sad to see a srt this mistreated. although i wouldn’t expect much profit from a high mileage first gen, especially a black 06. not really a good buy in the first place unless you were planning on parting it out.
Very insightful, thank you for the comment.
9:08 That Intake is a true CAI. It literally makes perfect “sense”
Yes and no. If you drive through a water poul your f'ed.
Sorry Rich, I locked up my 2007 300 SRT8 during a flash flood here in Des Moines IA, back in 2016. Mine was a prior salvage with a missing splash guard. The factory air intake hoovered about 3/4 of a lake and shot a rod outta the side of the engine block 😓 I feel your pain. I miss that car so much...
My guess is his car was getting repo’ed and he held it to the floor until he blew the engine.
Probably. The previous owner spent his car payments on smokes...then smoked that engine.
That sounds like exactly the kind of petty bullshit someone who was having their car repossessed would pull.
@@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342 Mabee if he deleted the rev limiter? Not so easy with that!
No the hemi is just a junk engine. This issue is super common.
@@MrPland1992 no its not. Not at all. The 6.1 is a pretty strong engine. Obviously you beat it all day its going to blow
7:00 read the head stamp on the bottom of the cases it will say what is it. Looks like 223 or 556
I agree .223 or 5.56 and i thing the short fat round is a .45acp or a s&w .40
I agree with you. I love engine carnage as well. Even when it's my own engine and have to repair/replace it myself.
They intake doesn't worry me much. With a little common sense when driving in the rain it should be fine.
Bullets, fishing, smoking and energy drinks! Definitely someone in the military! 🤣 plus that cap for the camel pack in od green gave it away. Lmao
I love Rich's heavy sarcasm, but RIP that engine!
lol loving your transition into advertisement :P
great video as always Alex
i literally spat out my drink of laughter when he put the scope into the cylinder
Why he recording with the back up camera
My backup camera is better quality than that
I think that was the borescope that went into the cylinders..
Those 5.7, 6.1, 6.4 hemi engines are some of the most reliable engines I have ever worked on! And this is coming from a Chevy guy lol
Fyi : the 6.1l hemi is known for breaking rocker arms. Sorry for the lemon bro 🍋
Gilbert too bad the shitty owners give them a bad rap
Hundo100 so true. These bad boys can take a beating if you treat em right.
I’ve got 60k miles on my 6.4L Hemi driving in SOCAL for 3 years and the engine has done well. Still punches hard just like the day I bought the car.
Jochen Heiden scat Pak huh lol
Those things are a beasts.
(RELIABLE) LOL
My first SRT! seeing the Hemi orange block brings back some crazy memories!
N side Chicago born and raised lived there for 22yrs moved to Las Vegas 12yrs ago. All my friends out in Vegas make fun of how much I say DUDE!!!! I'm with you dude!!!
More on this! I like you Sam and Rich working together. And this beautiful Dodge also looks like a nice challenge.
Those tail lights should be a crime. Ewwww
I can smell the black ice just by looking at the tail lights..
They have been involved in a crime!
ghetto...
That whole car is a crime.
Those are definitely 5.56 Carbine rounds. The camel back tip and the rounds say this guy was definitely an outdoorsman or a soldier.
Awesome to see you two teaming up
You can see the crank rod journal is blue/black with a ridge on both sides indicating its diameter got 'reduced'. I'd say it ran without oil pressure until that rod bearing seized, which broke the rod near the wrist pin. I'll bet you find the rod bearing shells extruded themselves out past the sides of the rod and look like flower petals. I bought a completely seized '66 GTO that looked just like that years ago.
Love to see the results from a black light
Ah, now I see why you were in my recommended videos. I'm subbed to Rich Rebuilds.
Hey RIch "He trying to send people into space and he can't put you in a car?" Love your mom.
So, recapping the week, Tavarish buys an Aston Martin DBS, Hoovie buys an SLS AMG, Rich buys a $500 SRT8. For $5000! Rich looses the week, sorry.
And I watch way too much TH-cam!
A.J. Green *loses, not looses.
Amazing how people mistreat their cars.
sandra folsom Not just that but what a pig!
Its just a car though, nothing special.
@@wconstructionco Um yea no!!! Its everything to a true car enthusiast!!!👍
Its no cord or dusenburg
@@wconstructionco OK... Your opinion about which cars are best must be the only valid one. We weren't aware of that, sorry. We'll know better next time.
Seriously though, any car someone owns and loves is an amazing car. Doesn't matter which brand it is. These things shelter us from weather, get us places without having to walk, cheer us up when we are in a bad mood, rock out with us when our favorite songs come on the.. Well maybe not the radio but you know what I mean. They hold our personal items and keep them safe, they can even be our homes if we get down on our luck...
They're with us through ups and downs, many years of our lives. A lot of people spend more time with and in their vehicle than they do any human because of their job, or maybe their situation forces them. No two vehicle is the same, they all have little quirks that we get to know and learn to deal with just like all relationships in life... The bond between man and machine can be a beautiful thing, even if many people don't acknowledge or realize it's even there. Each scratch, ding, or dent holds a memory for someone
What I'm getting at here is that any vehicle that brings someone joy is an awesome vehicle. I don't care what make or model it is... From the cheapest hooptie to the nicest supercars as long as someone loves it, I love it. Cars are a passion... A lifestyle. I can see you don't understand that nor have any respect for the people that do.
We are brought together and bond with different people from all over, all walks of life. Relationships form that can last a lifetime. All because of this common ground we have: Our love of the machines we use daily.. There's no gatekeeper, no price for entry, no judgment. Any vehicle, every shape every size is OK.. No vehicle is fine, come help me work on mine. Being a car guy means having friends all over the place that you've never even met before.. Someone who will lend a hand when you're in need because that common ground we share makes us friends.
So you go and admire your small selection of brands that you consider to be "good." At the end of the day cars are just a tool for transportation for you, they'll never be more. Us car guys may not drive or admire brands you find to be worth the time. Or maybe the car is all someone could afford to have but they love it like it's the most expensive vehicle money can buy. You'd find that stupid I'm sure, but we have something beautiful that you'll never know or understand.. We can see the diamond in the rough. We find joy where others find indifference. Which one of us is more fortunate?
I subbed because i find this channel easy to watch. Good content with no bs going on. Nice work. And as far as your buddy...his mind was racing after that vid.😃
HAHAHAHA when he used the camera to get in the engine and the piston vibin sideways I lost it
"On today's episode: Rich buys a problem, I scratch a bumper and both stare a the tailights"
5.56mm Rounds that was a Soldiers car I saw a Cammel Back tip cover.
lol say the cammel back tip cover and was like wonder if anyone posted about it yet
So in america everyone is a soldier because they have few spare cartridges laying around?
@@CoreMaster111 the car screams military. When he opened the back door and on the floor there is a CamelBak mouth piece on the floor, that was the first clue. Newports on the floor of the passenger foot well, that's a strong possibility, the 5.56 ammo in the cup holder is another giveaway. I'm only 8 minutes into the video and I had to see the comments before I went any further. I'm waiting to see if a vape shows up soon and cans of energy drinks. Ripits, Monster (white can), Bangs or one of the other mainstream energy drinks. If dip cans or a spitter were found in there I'd 100% guarantee it was a service members car.
@@patricksanders2498 Bro the weird box he pulled out could've been some type of vape and he mentioned energy drinks. I like yalls insight. Interesting you can peg a guy as military off that haha.
@@m1l3s27 I'm a service member, that's why I know what some people have in their cars haha. I've seen some real doozies from my time in.
Rich took it well because it's A PROJECT, YAY!!! It will turn out well!
When that borescope went in 😯
That engine had oil starvation looks like to me sorry bro.
Mopar to ya!! 70 Duster stroked small block ! 06 RT charger w/swapped 6.1 set engine!!
Back in the 80s my brother-in-law had a jet ski boat with a 455 Olds motor. One weekend he got some cheap gas at the marina and when he shut the engine off it began to diesel and actually ran backwards long enough to suck water into the exhaust stacks and then it hydro-locked. When we got the engine out of the boat and took it apart it had two connecting rods which were bent so badly that they couldn’t be slid through an empty cylinder. But all the pistons were intact, albeit with crushed ring grooves on several. He got lucky in that neither the block, cylinder heads nor crank was damaged. We had all the machine work done by a local machine shop and rebuilt the engine. Shortly after that he sold that jet boat and bought a conventional inboard/outboard. Hot rod motors and cheap marina gas just don’t mix!
Any more on this charger?i love these srt8s 💯
I’d check with Junkyard Dave. He’s probably got an engine or two laying around for that Charger
Just by looking at the car all I know is there was a lot of weed and some fun times made in the car before the time now
5.56, Newport Menthol’s, vapes, blunt wraps, codeine, and definitely agree because i used to use it too. The black ice air freshener, just the perfect combo for ur classic dodge owner that doesn’t gaf
OMG - worth watching to the end :)
Who would have thought it was that bad ....
I knew it was a piston from your other post of the picture, but I didn't know you were coming at it from that direction. Wow.
I mean the interior looks like it just needs to be detailed real good and you'll be good
Yeah if you replace the whole engine lol
I can't wait to put a little bit bigger of a cam in my ZL1... it made 524 rwhp on 11lbs of boost... the ucu was pulling 7 degrees of timing to protect itself. Found out the gas station I was getting fuel at was ripping people off and selling 87 octane as 91 octane. Anyways, lol back to the subject at hand, I have complete faith in you two to build an extremely badass setup!
Rich I hope everything works out .... keep up the great videos
They kinda look like .223/.556 ammunition
I agree
Yep looks like 556 and one or tow 45 or 9
Maybe 308 too because the body of the casing looks fatter? Maybe?
Definitely assault rifle rounds

"No, Mr Rich - I expect you to go bankrupt!!" Bwahahahahhh!!!
I'm going to say he is into pharmaceutical business and he has to be aggressive in collecting his funds
I think the previous owner knew the car was going to be repossessed and he just revs up the engine way past redlining it.
There's an electronic limiter to prevent the engine from exceeding a set RPM.
with that low intake I bet it got driven through standing water, sucked it into the cylinders, and hydro locked it. Then the owner quit paying on it since it didn't run.
@@tubehound69 nailed it.
@@andrewhigdon8346 TY!
that would also grenade the motor leaving a hole/holes, there would be waaay more damage to the block and heads.
LegitStreetCars, can you give us a follow up/final on this one? Hopefully Rich is able to recover something without it being a total loss, be nice to see how it resolved and if us viewer/amateurs should even consider buying via an online auction. $6000 down the crapper would about sink me.
Samcrac gets the last laugh 😂
I watch those car cleaning videos sometimes, they are pretty entertaining, could be a new angle and new sponsorship opportunities
Rich is one one the coolest humbled people I've ever met
A lot of mopar guys use this type of intake on these engines. Had one on my 5.7 and i went through a puddle and well you can pretty much guess what happened next lol They're actually a TRUE cai because it relocates the air filter completely outside the engine bay, just don't ever drive in water. Legmaker is the company who makes them
Or just don’t put one on your n/a stock car. It’s been proven many times, you aren’t gaining any power. All that work, and the only thing achieved was making the car less reliable. No point dont do it unless you absolutely have to, like your going to boost it and need a intake. Even then no need to go all extra and relocate it to a stupid spot 🤷♂️
I have a feeling this was the Zodiac Killer’s car.
Not surprising...see how these guys drive on the street? Common sense is not so common.
I've only been a subscriber for a while now. Actually I subscribed when I came across the jeep Laredo limited and I can't believe I've missed all these cool videos lol! I have a lot of catching up to do. Really enjoy your channel 👍
Alex, you need 2 gauge jumper cables. Anything else is useless. They will start a car without a battery.
Worth their weight in gold.
Trash, finishing rods, tobacco products and BULLETS??
Looks like a real “YeeHaw” special!😂
You’re going to be surprised when you find engine prices bud, 4-6k for a used 6.1 engine with higher mileage like 130-140k
Yeah, 6.1s aren't a "couple grand" used. Barely can find a crappy 5.7 for that amount.
I found a 6.1 engine with 20k on it for $3,300. You just have got to look around and find good deals.
I didn't even know Rich purchased this. I swear I've seen every video of his. I literally watched his first Tesla build video. Kitchen knives and all.
I can just see Samcracc now... "Havin a little car trouble there Rich?"
Probably a soldier, there’s a drinking tube cover off an issued camelback in the back seat and 5.56 rifle rounds
Glad someone else had this answer. Definitely a soldier.
just watching this for the first time, saw that camelbak cover and thought "thats some pvt's 30% interest mistake"
"What was this guy into?" "Fishing, flying, bullets, smoking and energy drinks" yep definitely military
Guess smoking weed cutting everyone off waving his guns around not paying the car note car exhaust smoking away full throttle at every light. New Baby Mama finance a car for him again
What if it was a bitch
He was😁
His baby mama Shaniqua probably financed him a Chrysler 300 with big rims while on food stamps lol
Good luck my man!
He had faith in that high speed chase behind that srt ~Pooh Shiesty
This was 100% some young enlisted’s car, some young soldier from the hood for sure.
noticed the camelback mouth piece 😭😭
I hydrolocked the 5.7 in my Jeep, connecting rod snapped and punched a hole in the side of the block. Thing still ran after, drove it a mile out of the woods.
Ps totally my fault, drove it through a pond
Badass. These engines don’t get enough credit. The issues are all because Chrysler just denies everything.
“Ghetto Glider” that was well used 😆
Great video 📹 but not for Rich, thanks for sharing the borascope results 👍 your absolutely right, the engine is faneto
