The 5th gen looks to have been signed by Al Oppenheiser, he led the Camaro programe. I'd say it adds something special to that specific car.
Something very interesting I’ve learned from these videos - putting your IG handle on your 1/4 window makes you at least 5x more likely to crash… 😂
I like to DM them on insta and talk shit.
@@Blackhammers69 you just created a new hobby for me sir😭
Mike Judge was final line inspector at the Camaro plant in Oshawa the Camaro was built
Al Oppenheimer (your scrap yard sig) was head engineer for the Camaro so maybe he met the owner n had it signed or was done at the plant
Back to basics love it keep all the videos coming and grow the channel however remember why we started watching you all as you we’re different happy Easter 🐣 from across the pond 👍
salvage auction and the demon make the best videos. love to see these types of videos !!
Much love and support from Boston ❤ 🙏🏻
Love the content and you're builds keep it up. Can you tell us what pump you used when you upgraded the DSX auxiliary kit on your ZR1
we wait on this stuff we need more videos more often . you guys need body cams or something we need this stuff everyday !!!
Lmao love that saying ❤ I think I’m gonna make a back window sticker saying …..” Never Nissan Juke “ Love it ❤ 😂😂😂😂
Wait What? F Body is Junk? I love my F Body Trans AM .. Bought it brand new in 01 and still have it.
I really like that blue one! That might be my fav color on the camaro. Wish i had a little bit of cash.
this is sick broooo, good luck!!
Never Nissan Juke got me lmfao
nice camaro content! my redline 6th gen ss is currently being repaired its in the paint booth now
I love your builds man
REBUILD
This video is both educational and entertaining.👍
This topic gives new meaning to market values , something we have totally abandoned in America
Recently needed a 2015 ram .75 ton 4x4 6.4 auto tranny, can't find a used 1 for under 288k miles and $3800. None from dodge. No new. Rebuilt. Had 1 built with my case and had a Rad threw in and the bill? $8500.00. FUKKING INSANITY. This has got to stop. I could've bought 2 of my 07 town cars for 8 grand and it had barely 100k on a always lincoln dealer services done with print outs. Insanity. Most votes ever my ass.
You got that right. ZL1 1LE and a 2014 Z28, best Camaros imo.
That signature @ 13:51 looks like it is Alan Oppenheiser.. Camaro cheif engineer for 2 generations
First, love the vids and noti gang keep it up
Haven't bought anything @ Copart in 20 years, until last week on something I didn't have opportunity to check out. But the real story was the education to Copart procedures. Do thank you for your education.
insurance cuts outter skins of panels to see the inner structures to determine if it will be totaled out of if only the outter layer is damaged
According to Google I believe that signature may be Alan Oppenheiser.
The white 1LE before the end in good shape, can definitely catch it doing donuts on youtube. good condition car #scraplifegarage
That signature, Oprah Winfrey, not sure if you're familiar with her work, but that's her signature without a shadow of a doubt. Merch box you can ship or I'll come pic up if you want.
That white ZL1 might have damaged the oil pan and lost all the fluids based on that note?
At 4:00 it’s probably minor damage but that’s where the main wire harness is i got into an accident with my RS and they totaled it out because it damaged my main wire harness which was right there
My first reaction was “ahh so gorgeous” 😍
The algorithm here amazes me , it won't hardly let you get your comments across clearly yet it won't correct a misspelled word .
Greatest muscle car ever built!! Badass car bruh! They are awesome!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪💪💪
Signature is Al Oppenheimer, he is the team lead at GM for Camaro. Do I get a merch box? I also bought the dssv off your last ZLE.
I have one, I see that three of the four tires are mounted backwards. Really odd.
0:18 whats with all those cars under the red cover?
I think i remember that absolutely wrecked zl1 go for about what you said.
Strut tower sig Is Al Oppenhieser. 5th and 6th gen chief engineer
Hey can you guys covert copo Camero the newest modle that is put or the box like a Nascar but be able to make it to run on the road and Track first log in then all right I'll be ready there is a place in Texas I hear that's what that shop does just a sick thought
Never Nissan Juke ! LOL
The signature is Al Oppenheiser - he was the Carmaro Chief Engineer.
❤ Hermoso auto 😍 Excelente video 👌 esperamos más noticias del Demon Manual 😊
Muy pronto!
What's the status on the Demon build?
Is the signature Alan Oppenheiser? He was the chief engineer for the z28 in 2014
Also, don’t be too impressed, the first name looks like Alan, so I googled that, Camaro, and 2014 and that name came up.
That's what I was coming up with as well, started Googling and came to that conclusion.
I think your dead on but I don’t get the date tho 05-02 2014 what does that mean last one off the line? One he personally did stuff with?
@@abenton3284 no clue on the date, unless it’s just when he signed it. Why he signed this particular one, nothing stands out.
What would it take to put zL1 engine in a 2021 RS with a 4 cylinder engine? Could it be done?
The 1967 to 1969 Camaro Are the real one in my book man
Scrap life with that Friday night late night video drop! I like it!
Signature may be mike judge from gm? Or someone from
Gm
Would the fire department cut the rear quarter when they arrive on scene in order to disconnect the battery?
Man, you guys are all over it. Good job.
I love the zl1 camaro
you can make one dream car from this but demon is not started to fix
How do you get so lucky!????
Copo Camaro next build plz but the new copo Camaro not sure if you guys know about it ??
@scraplifegarage AL Oppenheiser is the guy that signed the 5th generation camaro he also goes by David
Hat backwards & beard= divorced dad @ Applebee's day drinking while gambling on women's softball. ❤
It’s so sad how quickly 5th gen camaros get throw away because they only about their power plant or if it’s a 6th gen. The 5th gens handle great and don’t feel as heavy as they are compared to a 13 gt that is the opposite
“Bitchin’ camaro!”- the dead milkmen
I need some demon 😈 updates, I want to see progress
Kinda looks like a 2nd gen Scion tC in the thumbnail lol
That white camaro has an Instagram name on the side window. When you look it up there's only one post but it seems like somebody was building it before they wrecked it.
Yup looks like it made 470 hp
I love Automatic Transmissions and road head.
bumblebee 😆
when is part 5 of the demon
DO NOT PUT A MANUAL
Signature is: Alan E Oppah or Oppak
I have a genuine question. My mom parked my car at 4pm the next day at 330 pm it caught fire. I had a 2011 Buick lacrosse, but it hadn’t been used in almost 24 hours and randomly the whole engine bay caught fire and melted the windshield, but it literally disintegrated the hood of the car. Do you know why this could have happened ?
Probably electrical :-\ if not taken care of etc could add fuel to the fire so to speak. Sorry that happened man.
I’ll take that 10 speed 1:59
hello,where is the demon??
Can I buy it when you're done with it 😅
I can’t figure who the signature is by, totally stumped.
At 17:21 that's a 2019.
The Camaro you show at 17:17 is actually a 2019 and not a 2023 as the bowtie in the middle of the bumper was only done in 2019.
How much that camaro zl1?
Swap interior and motor to a old school camaro
I would never do business with copart all the it's go in their favor . The buyer gets the short end of stick in all instances .
Yes even when they cause engine damage or other terrible damage with their car lifts
I'm guessing white ZL1 was airborne
Automatics get so much hate for no reason 😂
What happened to the demon?
That first ones tires probably caused it to eat something. They're bald 😂
Get back to the Demon 😈
Camaros have had their great models, real good models, pretty good models, and not so good models. Overall, Camaros are pretty great, just not all of them.
Sheesh man 30 40k for a smashed up vehicle is crazy. 😅 idk why I was thinking this stuff was way cheaper. Clearly I’m out of my league tf
Heads are different (valves )
@ScrapLifegarage__ 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑 SCAMMER 🛑🛑
What auctions do you pick up the ZL1 Camaro's from most?
Think it was Tom Brady who signed it. Not sure why you’d let any other person sign your car 😂
PLZ BRING BACK .....DODGE DEMON 🥺🤌
my thumb ups is number 194.
897 for me and i'm 7 hours late. according to my calculations, that means lee has been driving his video at 100 thumbs up per hour...😁
that signature on is Al Oppenheiser , he was the chief engineer for Camaro and now is working with the Hummer EV project
Happy Zombie Jesus Day! 🫶🌎🤘🤟🙏
Hating on 4th gens, but I'd det good money my clapped out 4th gen I put together in my garage would clap any car in yalls fleet 1/8 or 1/4 mile. Also, all 5th gens are terrible including z28
Buy the SS 1LE 😂 I want the wheels
Al oppenhiser
Guys look into the new2022 copo plz lets make the You demons cry as you pass them.

2022 Chevy COPO Camaro Revealed with 9.4-Liter, 572-Cubic-Inch V-8
Chevy has released the latest version of its drag-racing special, fitting it with either a colossal 572-cubic-inch big block V-8 or smaller, but still large, LS-based motors.
BY CALEB MILLERPUBLISHED: JUL 31, 2021

CHEVROLET
The Chevy COPO Camaro, a dedicated drag-racing special, returns for the 2022 model year and will be offered with three engines.
A 572-cubic-inch (9.4-liter) big block V-8 is available, along with two small block V-8s, a 580-hp 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) unit and a 470-hp 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) motor.
The 572 option starts at $105,500, while the naturally aspirated 427 will cost $117,500 and the supercharged 350 will set you back $130,000.
Update 7/31/21: While Chevrolet did not include a power figure for the 572 engine in the press release, it was included in the COPO order form. The 9.4-liter V-8 is rated at 430 hp by the NHRA, making it the least powerful engine option for the 2022 COPO Camaro.
A recent report suggested that the current sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro could be replaced by an electric performance sedan in the near future, but before the Camaro ditches fossil fuels, Chevy has taken its muscle car to the extreme with the new 2022 COPO Camaro drag-racing special.

Back in the late 1960s, Chevy had a system called Central Office Production Order (COPO) which allowed dealerships to order cars and trucks with non-standard colors or features. The purpose of COPO was for speciality vehicles for fleet customers, like trucking companies or police departments, but some savvy dealers who were passionate about drag-racing utilized COPO to create purpose-built dragsters. Chevy revived the COPO name in 2012 and has built speciality drag-racing Camaros every year since.

For 2022, the COPO Camaro is available with a gigantic 572-cubic-inch (9.4-liter) big-block V-8, which Chevy says "channels the spirit of the original 1969 COPO Camaro." Chevy didn't reveal horsepower figures for the 572, but said that it uses a cast-iron block with aluminum heads, a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, and forged aluminum pistons.
Chevy will also offer the COPO Camaro with two LS-based small block V-8s: a supercharged 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) unit rated by the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) at 580 horsepower and a naturally aspirated 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) engine with 470 horsepower. All three engines are mated to an ATI Racing Products TH400 three-speed automatic transmission sending power exclusively to the rear wheels.

The COPO Camaro is not street legal but does qualify to race in NHRA Stock and Super Stock eliminators. All COPO Camaros feature a carbon fiber hood and wheelie bars, while a trunk-mounted weight box and parachute are optional. In the past, Chevy limited production of COPO Camaros to 69 units per year (mimicking the production run of the original 1969 COPO Camaro) and had customers enter a lottery, but Chevy won’t restrict production of this 2022 model and will sell it on a first-come, first-serve basis. The 572 COPO Camaro starts at $105,500, while the 427 starts at $117,500 and the 350 starts at $130,000. Customers are told to "see your dealer" about tax, registration, and destination charge. Buyers can submit an order form online and can receive a private tour of the COPO Build Facility in Oxford, Michigan, with their new drag-racing Camaro.

It gets my vote
It's gonna be cost effective
That's putting it lightly = to say the least
My mouth is watery

Why don't you ever finish a build
I have trouble finishing sometimes.
So what is the body worth. I see you junk them all the time.
autos are fasterfact....
Manuals make more power fact. At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference though! Some cars are better platforms with autos, and some are better with manuals, but it all depends on your plans with the car and what YOU like personally!
@@nickadkins7765 yeah. Back in the day when autos were 3 or 4 speed, you could usually shift a 5 speed much faster than a factory built automatic, and put more power/ torque to the wheels. There have been huge advances in automatic transmissions in the last 15 years or so. Now, automatics can have more gears and use computer controlled clutches to shift just as fast (and in many cases, faster) as a manual. That said, it does come down to personal preference, nowadays.
First
it's called a Nissan joke.
Yo I’m first
