- LeeC Parts Salvage Stories | After working with @Mod2Fame I had to go out and buy a Dodge Charger Hellcat from Salvage Auction.. In fact I bought the CHEAPEST "running" Hellcat Copart had to offer!
I got exactly what I paid for... Question is, can we get it running right and will there be enough good parts left to make a profit after we part it out?
Do you have a Salvage Hellcat story of your own? Tell us in the comments!

This is too depressing to watch. It's a shame what people do to these cars. At the rate they're destroying them there won't be many left in 20 yrs. For that reason I wonder if it might not be a bad idea to put one in storage as an investment for the future.
Bruh they already stopped production, these cars are going to be like finding an Honda s2000
@@marov8already130 orders stop 2023, you can order one until then
Why the fuck are u reading my mind 🤯
@@E30Tylerrr yeah 2023 is right around the corner!
Lomfl chill n naw do t put it in storage cause you'll look like the crazy dudes now days wanting 40k for a stock 95 gt lomfl
Watching the breakdowns on these cars it really shows how much you're running and gunning in this game to keep the doors open, respect
That’s the 100% truth. Keep in mind that doesn’t include rent, utilities, etc. it is DEFINITELY not the industry that people seem to think it is.
Bro wtf, I never knew you guys have a youtube channel lol… I bought my wiper motor, radio and few other goodies from you on Ebay and now I am here. This is crazy lol …. Subbed 🤙🏾
I really enjoy these cost/profit breakdown videos.
No viper questions?
@@scraplifegarage oh, I forgot Alex was a part of this channel. Let me think of something real quick…. Got it-
What do a viper and a hairbrush have in common?
Alex wouldn’t know what to do with either of them if he kept one for more than a minute!
That was a great video and I really enjoyed it when you talked about the front end and the other damage. Just great work on your part for showing us.. thank you
5:37 🔥 😂 that chop sounded badass too bad it wasn’t cammed
If that car is from Florida and the CARFAX points back to gator dodge. That’s my friends old car. He wrecked going full speed on a back road that was closed
.... say timmy on the turner finna blast off he got caught with his mask off
Wow great content it’s cool to see the whole process from start to finish and how you make a living keep it up 🤙
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!
the engine idle at 5:30 is my favorite part of this video
It sounds so good. I wish new cars would normally idle the way old cars did.
I seen a lot more money left on that car, glass panels handles window switches etc, unless they keep the remaining in the back for slim Pickens..
10mins into the video n you gotta new subscriber💯 I wish I could do wat you do. Much Success brother
Back in 1975 I wanted a 67 Vette but when I went to get cash to put a down on it it was gone when I got back. I settled, and believe me there are 100's of times I've regretted it, for a 68 convertible with a hard top only, and it did not have the original engine either. Not until 3 years ago, yes I still have it, did I find out what kind of damage that thing had on it, which at 24 in the military, I had no clue what to look for so bought it for $3250. Where were you guys back then? I ended up in a small junk yard searching for parts, most of which I found back in 75/76. In 1976 I was transferred to the Philippines and the car came with me, It was shot paint wise due to the excessive humidity after 3 1/2 years, but I did have it painted in 1983, and that paint is still on it. When my wife passed away in 96 I could not bring myself to drive it any longer, and it sat in the garage covered until 2018, when I decided I wasn't getting any older, and nobody was going to buy it, I decided to have it fixed. Long story short, today it's in the garage, in the Texas heat, because it's too friggin hot out to drive it right now. It is a beast these days but certainly not like cars of today. I kind of love it now though.
Nice watching you go over wrecked cars and see what turns up. By the way, that Sniper EFI logo you had on one video could be a Holly looking carb, couldn't tell with such a quick look, if the air cleaner came off would have been easier. I've got one on my Vette. I get way better gas mileage with it than the regular holley. But when you've got a 427 you already know it's not gonna be great.
Great video! The door panels are popular because the stock panels delaminate quite often for Chargers and Challengers in hotter climate areas. Fortunately, Dodge replaced mine under warranty…but next time I’m on my own.
damn love the sound of these hellcats!! love your videos great content. love the bloopers!! 😅
The previous owners credit score was a 392
pun intended
I see what you did there
The intro was legendary we need him on a beat ASAP Carrington😂😅
🤣
Door panels warp in the sun and dodge has them on back order. My friend don’t have a garage and the sun tore his door panel up it warped crazy!
Hellcats and trackhawks intro is too funny 😂🤣
Hellcats n track Hacks 😭😭😭😭
The connections on the pcm will light everything up, seen some electronic cleaner spray and dielectric grease help too. Of course that doesn't fix mechanical or everything in general but helped me from replacing a lot more than needed.
Hellclaps and Scrappacks.
Great video man. The intro was so good. I have a suggestion for a car to buy and sell, its the new mk5 supra.
We’ve been keeping an eye out!
Ive seen a lot of crashed hellcats on hotshot trailers. Noticed most of these cars still had Pirelli Zero’s from factory with like 1/32 tread on ‘em.
Go ahead n give my boii his McDonald's no onions lol
0:19 hellcats and trahaks😂
It’s like a love hate relationship for this channel for me as a rebuilder its painful to see easy fixes get torn down I know that’s how a lot of parts we use for rebuilds gets put back on the market but still just as painful to see them get torn down and the shell thrown away I see why you always say you can’t stand rebuilders it’s kinda both way but love the content you should try and save some of them if you can
Go back to selling hoods long distance!
I bought a zl1 hood around 2015 and you guys made a fantastic crate and no damage in transit and is I would I was willing to get full responsibility for it. I miss big parts but need shipping to FL
Pilot was great 👍
Unfortunately while you were ok with taking full responsibility for it, you are in the minority 😢
The hood on the listing isnt a Hellcat hood, so not much loss from there. And i think that rear quarter panel with internal damage was actually pushed back to mask It up. I remember seing similar stuff on the Samcracc's Money Pit Jetta
That was a takeover car lol
the door panels warp in the sun. Dodge wants $1800 to replace each, labor included. that's why they sell so well.
I really appreciate the fact that you use Firefox!
Much love and support from Boston
he can't be stopped!
Intro 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m glad someone finally appreciates it 🤣 i was dying while editing it
Just came across you guys from Facebook
beginning was unexpected lmao but lit
Damn that’s a strong forklift
💪🏼💪🏼
Tik tok or Facebook sent me here. Not sure but heck yes!!
Love my Hellcat charger…best daily and family hauler out their. Take it to the track on the weekends and let the wife drive it when she wants
What track? 😂 No dodge can handle a racetrack dude. These cars will never be track monsters like Porsche's or BMWs.
@@miseryparty3726 drag strip
@@slomango7927 That's not a real track
@@miseryparty3726 why not just let him have fun instead of being annoying.
It’s definitely a racetrack your racing still are you not? Regardless if it’s just a straight race track or a on a circle track they may be different race events but their still race events🤣🤣 that charger would more than likely would gap a Porsche or bmw in a stock drag race
Do you guys reclaim the copper from wiring harnesses / looms?
Bro I'm here to tell you that car was previously stolen and the last people that used it were sliding and doing burnouts that's why it's wrecked and that's why there's overspray
hyk??
@@Adotsupplythehood tbh a lot of them are stolen and taken to "take overs" at an intersection or parking lot and doing burnouts and donuts and they eventually get destroyed
Running from cops
Great content 🔥🔥💨
Could you put one of those engines into a 1982 Chevy Malibu four-door
Absolutely
How much would it cost for you guys to do this for me? I actually was thinking about buying one also a cheap one and I don't fix cars so yeah .
Defeats the purpose
I wanna know about that Chevy SS Sedan in the background, what's the story with that one?
Just a run of the mill auction car, we do a lot more than what you see videos on! I just try to do videos on a car here and there when it’s an interesting one and I have the time to devote to it.
Now that Chevy SS.... Now that's a rare car! Been looking for a good one, at the right price for years....
@@scraplifegarage well I definitely think it's an interesting one, a very important car when it comes to Holden/Chevrolet as a brand.
nice to know that I'll find parts for my 2019 scat pack charger
He just bought a few more! Give us a shout if you need anything!
Awesome video
We just did a Hellcat Challenger that had a much better subframe than this. Looks better than the one I saw cut out for the the oil pan gasket replacement.
Ok? Who asked?
@@samuelstein7639 Ok why do you even care? Is your life that unfulfilled you talk just to talk? Go cook them eggs son.
@@CodyDoesIt I had 13 this morning!! Thanks pops. For the record check the hypocrisy, it's a little sad 😔
@@samuelstein7639 your comments are even worse hahaha coulda just kept that trout mouth closed but you just had to open it. If you dont like my comment don't comment and close your eyes
I scooped up a RT Magnum gonna do a hellcat transplant eventually but can't get the damn esp bas sensor to stop coming on and cutting off the car been to multiple shops no one can figure it out gonna start with cleaning PCM contacts and TPs sensor
Sounds like it’s just time for an LS swap!
@@scraplifegarage hell nah
Ahh reminds me of my 05 rt magnum which luved to cut off when I tried making turns, spending 5min cranking and waiting for it to cut back on Lol.... "Crankcase position sensor". Remove passenger wheel and it's attached to transmission, make sure you lube it gud or you'll be right back under there putting another one in like I did a week later.
tha shi came cammed ayyyyy😂
That was cj on 32s music
I work at the tow lot. I see srt jeeps Durango hellcats and more come in. I wish I could keep the scrap because the engine is key. If you get a engine and swap any 6.4 into a 5.7 body or find a helcat with mechanical issue it's worth the bid, trip, gas, trailer rental.
Or just buy an E 55 AMG and save yourself all the hassle. Nothing special about the hellcat drivetrain. W211 E Class and Charger are the same chassis, but the Benz is cheaper, a little lighter, and way nicer overall and better engineered than a damn charger.
Yo bro could lmk any info on SRT jeeps? I’m new to Copart and stuff And bidding on cars, I’m 17 and I’m tryna get my dream car I’m wondering how much I could get one for. What is the cheapest running and driving with minimal damage Srt you’ve seen? I appreciate it
this is so freaking cool! i love this type of content
Running it for 30 min no water in it 😂
Y’all should check underneath after that forklift pickup, should’ve just pushed it off
That’s a good ole replica auto special
Indeed it is!
Be careful with anything from Harrisburg lol
What y’all know about Fogo 😂
Calling out. To all the car commutity whether it’s muscle , super , hyper, Jdm , luxury, etc we need to take a stand ✊
5:36 Hellcat rotary mod!
Where are y'all located? I might be interested in joining you all. It looks like a lot of fun. Been working in collision for 2 years trans tech for 2 years and recently a full on mechanic for 7/8 months
The part that u were not sure what it is its a harness for some type of plug n play remote tune
Good to know!
17K Wow that's a steal for a HellCat
Too much
@@jjdachamp330 Not really considering my buddy just paid $28K for run & drive badly rear ended Hellcat with 10k miles. The only thing he can salvage is from the front to the middle of the drivers and passenger seat anything behind that is scrap.
too much for a fiat
15k for a 91k miles is crazy
Hellcats and Trackhacks
Where did the Hellcat video from today go ?
Best idea to rev the hellcat without coolant...
Nice changing up 👍
On some of these cars when you factor in the profit on the scrap / cats return as well it helps a little .
Absolutely! Typical those returns follow in bulk well after the videos air so I don’t want to speculate.
I figure it usually offsets the rent/utilities, etc etc expense that I’m not adding in so the number is still pretty damn accurate.
Do they not keep any windows or windshields
I don’t know what you want from me
Ok thanks so what is it you want me to do
Bruh it sounds like a rotary when it was idling first
That was a doctored up car, not straight from insurance. Someone bought it and made the damage look much less than it actually was
Got some used rotorss for a a hellcat they look fine only thing they were in a ditch.
They are getting cheaper and cheaper but there getting harder and harder to insure.
Sounded like a rotary at first lol
i did subscribe just because of the channel name
Please explain dirt cheap. My Chrysler dealership sells em for over 100k unfortunately
What’s that sound on the engine like some kind of chain rolling
What price on hell cat engine low miles?
And u need that map sensor / boost sensor for it to run correctly or always gonna run like trash
in my oppion that sounds good
Can we see the finished product?
Do you mean ex-wife's car 😂
Would you explain the leak down test
Was the engine still strong at 90k miles?
What’s up with the Chevy ss in the background
He’s saying 16k car like it’s a 200$ civic
It’s a shame that idiots buy these and have no idea how to drive them.
These cars should be garage kept and meticulously maintained. Nary a snow flake or rain drop should ever touch them.
And they should never, ever, be modified.
Highest mile hellcat I have seen
Do you guys recommend to buy something like this for the engine?
It’s always an option yes!
How much did you pay ?
I would take that whole car apart in 3-4 hours
I think the battery was the problem
What do they mean (. Leak down) I don’t know
What do I have to do to get one ?
Wow you paid more for a burned to a crisp demon than a running fender bender 😮😅
When you put it like that..
I’m Hispanic and I can barley understand that guy! Wtf
This is why they are stolen so much here in Michigan smh
I would have fixed it back
The motor and tranny are worth 16k$ alone! So he will get his money back
