    That Corolla deserves to see that 500,000 mark. And that Vette would be worth jumping on for around $3500. Good content as always!

      Consumer report rating of Corolla at that year was 10 out of 10. I have one that I paid $2500.00 in 2008 that has 35K in CA and paid $250.00 to Asiam mechanic to go over with OEM shock and struct with used $15.00 and used PS parts starter and $45.00 used interior parts. I drove that car for $30K in CA and no issue . I sold that car in CT in 2015 for 2K.

      This Corolla would be great buy for either JJ or WB.

      I would jump on the vette.

      i agree it does deserve to see that 500'000 mile mark and a good cleaning to boot

      I wouldn't pay more than a grand for that vette, and that's being reckless

    Randy, you seemed to have fallen for the C3, go for it. You Mike and Santa, the 3 amigos rebuilding it would be pure gold

  • @nathankim7664
    @nathankim7664 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I'd *LOVE* to see the C3 Corvette *AND* the Toyota Corolla on the channel!
    The theft F-150 looks to be a fun project as well. You did it once, you can do it again!
    As for the Mercury Cougar, I hope you teach the relay thief a lesson & hopefully win it! Can't believe thieves are stealing relays/fuses, locking doors, and stealing keys. The relay theft is what annoys me the most because the car looks to be "fine" at first glance.

      That is something that auction center should be dealing with harshly. Have people constantly checking on things and making sure that if someone does that they are permanently banned from that aution facility 😊😊

  • @DodgeCharger900
    @DodgeCharger900 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    The Toyota Corolla is definitely worth to fix. It looks like it has the 4A-FE engine installed and those are very well known for their reliability and the high dureability. And they can go over the 500.000 mile mark with ease.

    The Vette is perfect for you and Santa to put together. It's a big time investment, but you did fix the swamp Vette afterall. Really like the theft recovery trucks.

    I bet that Corolla will go for $100. Good content reaching 5M miles

    • @johnmadow5331
      @johnmadow5331 ปีที่แล้ว

      Even a full beat up Corolla in Ameica will go for at least $300.00 for scrap in 2023!

  • @1970Coronet_green
    @1970Coronet_green ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes to the wheel less F-150, yes to the 490,000 mile Corolla and a definite YES to the Corvette project! Would love to see them fixed up and running on the channel. Of course, it's your 💰, Randy.

  • @beaublackford3697
    @beaublackford3697 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    According to a 2000 Mercury Cougar repair manual, relay 11 in the engine compartment is for Engine Management ignition. That car is flawless because of Grandma haha I bet it never missed a oil change

    • @carlbernard4197
      @carlbernard4197 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is just a suckered play when people do that type of stuff. It shouldn't be tolerated in these facilities. Modern cameras allow you to zoom in on any part of the plant. Got to see that first hand at a cold storage facility when the clerk was assisting me in locating a specific trailer. 😊

  • @gregt722
    @gregt722 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Yes Randy! Get the theft recovery! You can do two at the same time. That’ll be an epic build and awesome to watch!

  • @brandonzayres
    @brandonzayres ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Im not a fan of C3 corvette's but if you like it, I will enjoy watching you bring it back around. It doesn't deserve to die. It would be cool to see it reborn and back to life.

    • @carlbernard4197
      @carlbernard4197 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't fit in them too well. Am 6' 1" tall and had sat in one of those. Almost wasn't able to get back out. 😮

  • @ArcticCoonass
    @ArcticCoonass ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Randy... The Vette is the only car you looked at with any character, personally speaking, I'd like to see you get it, and revive it!

    • @ekop1778
      @ekop1778 หลายเดือนก่อน

      13,376 OR 133K ON THAT VETTE

  • @michaelcrockette8694
    @michaelcrockette8694 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    you would be surprised how many people could use that Corolla, cleaned up, to get back and forth. it probably has many more miles left in it.

    @seanconroy4522 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the reason the interiors of the F150s are torn up is because they were looking for navigation or other modules that the police could track the truck from

    @bingus8025 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh man that Corolla hits different.. Was my childhood car that got us from A to B in NY. I don't think I'll ever find that car again unfortunately.. lets just say that corolla means a lot to me like how that Ford tempo ment to you Randy!

    • @bingus8025
      @bingus8025 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also DX stands for "Deluxe Edition" which is around mid trim, should have the 1.8l 7A-FE over the 1.6 4A-FE and a 4 speed automatic over the 3 speed.

  • @GrandCamino6
    @GrandCamino6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    @autoauctionrebuilds 36:25 Looks like it’s got an Edelbrock intake manifold too. Maybe the Performer? Looks like it would be a fun project 😀

  • @P-J-W-777
    @P-J-W-777 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That corvette would be a good option for a full restomod. Full custom interior and slap a modern supercharged LS or LT powertrain under the hood and modern suspension and it would be a bad ass car. Beautiful body style and it looks like it’s in really good shape.

  • @equisequis.55
    @equisequis.55 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    if you come here to see the Corvette, jump to 34:28. I bought an 1981 Corvette from a fellow who only had it for a Month and he told me the catalitic converter was cut off and the thief took the whole exhaust system. The thief cut the exhaust right in the Y, which is going to have a piece welded back on. Its either get a whole new exhaust system or put straight individual pipes all the way back. I hate thieves for destroying a beautiful car.

  • @wernerdanler2742

    One thing that I was left wondering: Did you check for an oil change sticker on the windshield?
    Just to try and find out when it was last on the road approximately. 🤔

  • @rustyshackleford1687
    @rustyshackleford1687 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had an 05 Malibu Maxx for a really long time. It was a great car, decent power and MPG plus it could fit a 10ft kayak with the hatch closed once you folded the front passenger seat flat. I sold it on to a friend that's still driving it to this day with nearly 200k miles. Not saying you should mess with this one, but it was a super practical and decently reliable car for me. It's one I will definitely remember fondly.

    @entropyfan5714 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It would be interesting to see you 1. drive that Toyota home & 2. give it a thorough clean & minimal rehab & 3. run it through a different auction. Totally watchable content IMO. Maybe do it with Nick if school doesn't conflict. Assuming it goes for under $750 out the door, of course. The cougar & vette are also interesting content-wise.

    I bought a 1982 C3 Corvette with an under hood fire for parts. I wanted the front bumper reinforcement, hood and fender extensions to update my 1975 convertible. They wanted 600 for the reinforcement and 150 each for the 2 fender extensions. I paid 2150 shipped for the car. After getting my $900 in parts I parted out the car for over $8,300.00 and I still have the doors, engine, transmission rear diff assembly exhaust steering linkage gas tank and several other parts. You cant lose money on that Corvette.

    Hey Randy I remember a time this year when you said that your on a truck hunt and you want a f150 with a coyote v8 engine. Well the opportunity presented itself in the form of that black f150 xlt. Yes its not a king ranch or a limited or a lariat edition but it has the 5.0 coyote in it. Just saying would be a very fun project to put together.

    "Nobody wants a 1996 Toyota Corolla"...hilarious because I just bought one yesterday! 92,000 km, same old lady has owned it since 1998. She had all the belts changed back in April and has put 141 km on it in the last 2 years. My gas cap looked exactly the same and I have to drain the gas out as I believe its gone bad. Runs but will run alot better once it gets a tune up.
