the California special make the car price $2,000 dollars higher than a plain jane
Plain Jane premium v8. C/S don’t come in base models or anything under premium package. So you have to pay for those options to even add the C/S option.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Have you testet nx450+. I like yore channel. But no lexus.
more like 6k
I had a feeling that this car had very, very minimal water damage and was almost 100% certain no water had gotten in the transmission rear end or engine. You got a hell of a deal Randy.
Obviously that car didn't ran into the water with the engine running. I guess it was parked in a parking lot and water got into it.
Still be pain in the back to sell it
@@ДядяЖеня-с1й how will it be a pain to sell it like he will still make a profit and it won’t be that hard to sell
@@Relaxedjack just try to sell some vehicle with flood salvage title... ppl don't care how deep it was in the water they offer you 30% of price...
@@ДядяЖеня-с1й yup people don’t know about car sales
I knew this was going to be a payday for you Randy. I had a feeling that the fluids were going to be fine and the auto spa could clean her up just nice ! Well done on this lotto win mate you threw the dice and came up a winner !! Good score bro !!
@@tscape165 how about you watch a video fully before going to the comments where its intended for people to express their thoughts on a video ..?
I enjoyed cleaning this up! I’ve had cars that came to me with windows open during a storm that had more water in them then this had. Great buy Randy!
24:00min When Randy shifts into gear, I see crap on the shifter boot... Who skipped cleaning it? HaHaHa jk
Honestly if I found a deal like that I’d hang onto the car. Sadly with the salvage history that is gonna scare of some buyers and it will bring less money. Honestly since you got it that cheap I’d just spend some money on mods and keep it as a weekend car. Doesn’t really matter how many miles you put on it since it would be yours to keep anyways. You could even see if you can take it autocrossing since all it’s Future collectibility is gone with the salvage and flood history. Would be a really fun car to mod and take to places like car shows and everything. That’s what I personally would do with it if it was mine but I’m sure you will find a way to make money and enjoy the car.
That's why Ford sold so many Mustang's, because there just so much damb fun to drive Randy. That's just the way its been since they rolled the first Mustang off the esembly line in 1964 1/2. Have fun with it and stay safe buddy. 😎🙏👍
Hell of a deal on the car and it is beautiful. I am curious what the dealers would give you for it but also want to see you mod this thing. Congrats to Randy
I smell insurance fraud to get rid of the debt and get something back
Sweet deal Randy. She's beautiful, would love to see you hold on to her for a while. No need to mod it to death, maybe just an exhaust and call it. Looking forward to more content on this one.
Please leave it original and see what it sells for with no mods.
One thing that often gets overlooked on a flood car is changing the brake fluid which on older ones is hydroscopic but I’m not sure about newer ones but I assume it still is.
They did a great job cleaning that car up and $800 for all that work sounds like a damn good deal.
$860 probably isn't bad for checking all that stuff. I mean only $1700 on top of what you paid is still cheap for the car. Which you promptly went over as soon as I typed that. lol.
$ 700 holy sh!t to take the interior out and detail ?? Wow 😳
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!
Randy driving that car without changing the fluids first hurt nothing ..the only problem you may or may not ever wuld have with the car wuld be the electrical...pay no attention to anyones smartass remarks I have had thousands of cars and have seen it all...
Hey Randy. I sent a message to you earlier because a scammer is replying to your fans comments under the name Auto Auction Rebuild. It's close enough to your channels name (no "s" on Rebuild) to fool anyone who didn't know better. Is there any way TH-cam could shut them down?
It’s been happening for a couple of weeks whenever they comment on my comment I report them as a fraud to you tube.
I know I just reported that channel and I got them off of TH-cam again. I told them don’t message me again.
That’s a good one Randy! Why the heck did the insurance even accept the Flood claim and total it, crazy. Amazing car.
Why go to the dealership unless it's under warranty I'm sure a good independent shop could do the same thing cheaper and be guaranteed it would be done because some dealership can be lieyers
Looks great Randy 🔥🔥 Guess the smell when you picked it up, was the cars only Achilles heel . Congrats 🚘💯🤘😎
#KeepTheCar 😂
I worked for a car manufacturer for decades. We had little issue with airbags going off when they shouldn't but 2 things did blow them off: key on impact wrench or air hammer use near the restraint control unit and flood water trapped in restraint control unit months later after that water got murky/rusty. The first risk went down with multiple crash sensors around car but conductive water splashing inside the restraint control unit electrically connecting power to the wrong stuff is dangerous. Some flood caused problems take time to show up when the lubricants fail and/or stuff rusts.
This mustang is absolutely gorgeous, and I’m excited that this pony has a complete clean bill of health! Time to put on some bolt on go fast parts and enjoy the crap out of her!
I love the thumbnails Randy they are amazing. I love the sound of the Mustang it sounds incredible.
And I bet the dealership didn't change the oil or flush anything plain truth
Since they know who I am I’d bet they did.
Hey Randy! Congrats on the great deal you had made! Great car man! Cheers from Portugal ✌️😎
Everything about this car is stunning! Thank u Randy for your passion to bring your projects back to road worthy. Looking forward to the next one!
man that mustang GT is gorgeous... too bad it was flooded but good news the electronics still works... dude got it at a steal...
Can't go wrong with a Ford, She Came Out Good Randy, Think She's A Keeper? I Think So
I will be very interested in what the valuations are. I believe you should make some serious money even being a flood car. I would agree with the premise that any money put into mods, will not make financial sense, but if keeping the car, then you should have it the way you want it. Good luck.
That insurance adjuster should be fired for totalling that car out. Imagine how many more like that out there.
Randy been watching for awhile and You are not afraid of telling people that you either made out or lost on a car. You seem like an honest person. Keep up the good content.
Cheers
it was a big mistake buying that Mustang. I want to help you out , so I will take it off your hands for 15K :)
Nice score... Salvage title will kill the value for a lot dealers... To someone buying(private party) it for a good price, most people would not care as long as it was not damaged or totaled.
Cool car, looks like a lot fun...
1:50 Wow….. you drove it at hwy speeds in city traffic?? That’s gotta be unsafe lol 😆
I wonder if somebody hosed it down with a garden hose to insurance job it.
In some states after a clean bill of health from.tje dealer and state inspection it can have a clean title put on it.
If at all possible I'd keep the thing and enjoy it if were you. I mean, I'm not in the know on buying from Copart and places like that, but something as nice as this is in the shape it's in from an insurance auction strikes me as something that would just about be once in a lifetime.
Same feeling (I’d imagine) to winning a huge lottery prize!!!
Really, REALLY happy that your car has a clean bill of health Randy!!
I’m really looking forward to all your follow up videos with this beast, and CONGRATULATIONS on what can only be called the deal of the century.
All the best man.
How about selling it and not put money in it that you don't have to and make a better profit
I think maybe who ever had it left the windows down in a storm and that's how the water got in
This was such a sick pickup, and a perfect car to mod
Just shows insurance companies are paying out claims without actually looking at the cars, some adjustor didn't do his job...you hit the jackpot with this one. 👍
No dealer will but it,after you clean the interior keep it out of the Sun.It will start smelling again.
Is this why our car insurance is so expensive? These adjusters just total everything for minimal damage. Glad you found this deal. You deserve it bc you spend a lot of time searching copart. 💪
How do you think the insurance adjuster who totaled the car feels now if he sees this video
Adjuster is an idiot for sure
He/she may not have a job. I bet the previous owner was trying to get out of the payments & pulled a scam. As an insurance adjuster this shouldn’t have happened.
@@grabsme Sue them.
@@countryguyusa273
It obviously had water damage.....it's an automatic total loss.
Insurance companies won't take the chance on continuous future claims.
@@mexicanspec
A lot of states have minimum liability limits a lot lower ......why doesn't that person have medical insurance??
And even if the limits were higher, statute of limitations is usually 2 years.
Idk why but I got triggered when he closed the door touching the glass 😂😂
Massive congratulations on the Cinderella car! I'm hoping to get an S550 GT very soon, not sure if I'll be able to get my hands on the 10r80 but I'm gonna love it nonetheless!
Lol its from good old billingsley here in Lawton , got a good chuckle after seeing that sticker haha
I was so ready for this video awesome video Randy and love the mustang
Your voice reminds me so much of "The World According To Briggs". Those videos where the guy talks about different towns.
When I sale a car with a rebuilt title the sale for half of KBB
Finally a video on the Mustang! A great deal to find this car at that price!
Remember a " flood " car will ALWAYS sell for a %33 percent decline in value. You have a nice " flood " car!
Great Video Randy The Mustang Looks Great Definitely Bring The Car To The Dealers & See What You Can Get
at highway speeds in city traffic o-O
That dealership is so empty. Sad
Guarantee that was a car that fell thru the cracks the insurance inspector probably smelled the interior and assumed that they're was more water than they're actually was in the interior and probably assumed mechanically, it was the same, but overall if it runs and drives and makes a guy happy , GO FOR IT! 👍
Great to see the success! Retail, it's probably a good mid to high $30's car, simply because it has a voided warranty and the salvage stigma. But if a company buys it, they probably won't offer but $20k something max. CarMax and Carvana only offer salvage value on any car that had a previous salvage history. They offered me $10k for my 16 GT premium PP back in 2017 and again earlier this year. As you demonstrated, insurance could have gotten away with a $2,500 claim, but I'm sure the owner just decided they didn't want it anymore and just totally took advantage of the flood situation. Hopefully it wasn't the insurance company's lack of responsibility that pushed the total. Either way, you should at least break even or make a few dollars on it. Enjoy it Randy!
your not going to get a big payoff sorry randy.
@@carlharris8270 I think you are right. It would surprise me if a Ford dealer would even be interested in a flood vehicle. Most have a reputation and integrity to uphold and would'nt get involved in that. A lot of finance companies won't loan money on a car that has been wrote off by an insurance company. That said.......SWEET CAR.
@@donwendling7800 Agree. When the car market returns to a normal state it will look even worse.
Yea no he’s not going to make more than what he paid for it unless someone stupid buys it.. the car is in great shape but just by it being a salvage car it doesn’t cost what he is planning to get for it
@@donwendling7800 really!!?
makes me wonder if the previous owner did some shady insurance fraud with this car. it is so awesome the awesome deal you got on this thing!
Go full Corsa, headers and exhaust, those setups sound amazing
As amazing as the car truly is, the rebuilt title forever lowers the value to probably not too much more than you paid for it, so it's only a great deal if you were to keep it and get 100k miles on it, because the paperwork on it tells the truth.
After all the mods hes gonna ask 53. Ja
You Definitely got an awesome deal
Are you looking to sell it any time soon? I want a C/S GT but I can't swallow the 50k+ price tag. I'm in Florida.
I’m not a mustang guy but man that thing looks great
Not even salvage to me, new fluids and a detail, honestly with the chip shortage kinda surprised they totalled it. After having the clear for water i would definitely get into the throttle on the highway, congratulations on the new mustang man yall deserve it!
Randy I'm glad you got another mustang the one a few years ago was awesome this is the best one to find for the price you got it for its a beast . Great content 👌
Love the videos randy can't wait to see the next one
With a dirty title, and flood history on the CARFAX you'll be hard pressed to find a dealer that'll take that kind of liability in adding it to their inventory for anything close to $25K, because that'll leave them having to find a cash buyer, since very few banks are going to finance something like that.
Y E A H >>let's see more of this Mustang!!! Thumbs up!
Good video
It sure is and the Mustang sounds amazing.
Present it to 4-5 dealers and sell it without tune. The car looks and runs perfect and their inventory is low. With 3,800 mi it's almost brandnew. They should pay a good price. Greetings from Germany.
Randy you are like a kid in a candy store with that car. Do the mods to it and then you should make money selling it
Well done, watched both videos start to finish, you got lucky that the water damage was minimal. Now if the this car was in 3 ft. of water and the PCM got soaked you would have all sorts of issues. I personally would keep it and enjoy an essentially new Mustang, good for you.
Judging by the visible water line on the left side, and none on the right, the car may not have been on level ground when it was flooded. Probably didn't flood anything inside other than the left floor pans. That's about the best scenario you could possibly ask for.
Likely you would get 40k ,+
i knew it would be perfect before watching lol
Why didn’t the car stay to be sold by the dealer?
I just purchased a 21 mustang gt California special from copart that was wrecked and fixed for 19k cash in Phoenix az. Downside is they have a restored salvage title
I’m just sad to think that mustang will be gone this car will bring more content than the truck but I understand that you have to take care of family matters hope you can keep her and move some cash around
Mustang video!!! Yesss
This video proves. Most people do not stop at designated stopping areas anymore. Dude in the Honda just rolled right through smh
Random question. Is there an option to get a digital dash on a mustang? Ive sever seen a 2021 mustang with a classic dashboard like the one you’re showing us.
I love the fact that the Dodge dealer that sold me my last new car just put a license plate frame with their name on it. I took it off and tossed it as soon as I got home.
Autospa does a excellent job. There's no real deal detail shops around me
A 2021 Mustang WITHOUT the digital cluster dash simply is a LOSS for those who own the California Special. I have a 2020 GT Drop with the digital dash and it makes all the difference in the world. Makes the whip look modern.
REGARDLESS, you came off like THE MOB on this deal. Congrats!
You get lucky on that one. Good deal if your planning on keeping it. Otherwise you may find it hard to break even with the flood branding on the title. Car prices are slowly coming down. I picked up and awesome 2016 GT premium convertible one owner 21k miles car in July 2022. Clean car fax and also optioned with 19 inch wheels and 4 new premium tires. I figured it like this 58k for a 2022 GT convertible or 36k for a 6 year old car thats like new and had 25 less HP. I added a Roush cold air and will be doing Roush tune and a Ford Performance exhaust. Keeping my mods under the Ford umbrella. Ford considers Roush and Ford Performance as a non modified vehicle. Or it least that was the case when I traded my 2011 5.0 California Special in on a 2010 GT500 which I still own and love! Kudos on your ride!
Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
Better keep that car
If you put all that money into it I wouldn't spend any more on it and just keep it and enjoy it and then get rid of it about a year later just to make a profit on it
Randy it's worth it keep up the great work and the great content
HOLD OFF ON MODS GET OFFERS FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
This should bring the Trolls out from under their Bridge of Knowledge to tell everyone what they don't know anything about. Personally I'd love to hear what the dealers offer you for the Mustang. You have the paperwork to show them what's been done and the Ford dealers findings. I think the offers will be surprisingly high.
DON'T TUNE IT RANDY. I Work for the GUY.. we see to many with damage due tuning. IF you do get it from Ford performance at a Ford dealer
Personally I think you need to give the car to me... lol I have a 2014 Nissan note 140.000 miles on it I need a new car ..
I’m 67 years old. I n a eye catcher car love it 💙❤️💙❤️💙
Randy that car came out amazing. You scored big time on this one dude. I give you credit man, you have a great eye for hidden gems at auctions LOL.
This is a great payday for you!! I’m glad the mustang is not a bust!
Line up the offers. Someone willing to pay $45k take it and run
With a flood car, it's best to put some miles & time on it before selling; that shows any potential buyer that the car is "normal". Therefore it is your DUTY to do an extremely thorough quality check on this badass mustang.
Don't get me wrong carbon fibre is a great material when it's used properly, but savr some $ and invest in a good quality set of headers and either a dual catback or a nice free-flowing 3" stainless exhaust system with flow Masters on it. Remember, an engine is nothing but a gasoline driven air pump. The easier you can get fresh air in & the faster you can get the exhaust out the more power & performance you"ll get out of it.
