The Nissan 240sx has always been an interesting car. It has never achieved the mythic status of the Toyota Supra, Acura NSX, or Mazda Rx7. But, the Nissan 240sx is still loved by many and has an enormous following with plenty of aftermarket support. Like some other JDM models from the 90's era, the Nissan 240sx's only real draw back is its 4 cylinder engine. With not a lot of power potential, owners often swap out the KA24 from their Nissan 240sx, in favor of something with a little bit more displacement. Like a Chevrolet LS1 V8!
Due to the age of the Nissan 240sx chassis, they often don't pop up at Copart salvage auction. The few that do, normally are not heavily modified. This car though, is a major exception! Not only did it make it to salvage auction after a HARD crash. But, all of the modifications remain on the vehicle. We thought we struck gold when the hammer closed at roughly $5500 for this wrecked Nissan 240sx. But, time will tell if that is the case in this Nissan 240sx Salvage Story!

EpicVIN Unlimited Vehicle History Reports Trial for $1: bit.ly/EpicVIN_Reports
I've actually used EpicVIN myself multiple times (mostly because IAA has all their reports from them) but honestly the fact that it gives a report identical to a Carfax for $15 is what sold me on it. Worth it.
yea ik talking up a YT sponsor, but I actually have a history with this brand and figured I'd back up the sponsor (especially when so many YT sponsor companies are so sketchy)
a ninja turtles camaro in the background? honestly kinda cool whoever had that thing painted should have done a turtle shell pattern on the roof tho it would look sick af
Gotta be a vinyl wrap but come on!! No video on it ?!?
A video would be cool. It has to be a wrap
I actually worked with the woman that owned it, I don't believe a word about it that she told me, she was extremely untrustworthy and I'm cracking up seeing it in the back of a Lee c part video. Holy shit that's hilarious, I'm gonna send that screenshot to my old manager 😂
Also, it's a wrap, not paint, it's allegedly manual swapped from a crashed ss
I was gonna hope someone pointe that out lmao
Yo man that slick top roof and drivers quarter were still good!
Thats what i was sayng as they crushed them didnt even try to see how much they could get.. Then again they didn't want to waste time drill out spotwelds.
@@jason-ml4di Customer can drill out their own spot welds. They could have Sawzall the rough shape past the spot welds and someone out there would gladly pay.
I know like 5 people who would have bought that shell for the back fenders
Same fr
or the rear quarter windows
Fr tho 😭
The fuel tank($1000-1800) among other pieces was serious meat on the bone just age and growing desirability is making small parts go for big money
*side note that silver 12 Laguna Seca Boss 302 in the background is 1 of 151 in that color, looks like the white one behind it could donate some parts 👀
Good eye 👏👏👏
11:00 seeing that boot , rear 1/4s and rear bash bar going to scrap hurt a little bit to be honest
No fr people would have bought it for the fenders
I was just thinking that. There’s some money in those parts left on the table, for sure.
So much money left of that shell…. Wow
That’s what I was thinking, I don’t think they realize how desperate s chassis owners are for parts lol
Wtf is the teenage munant ninja turtle camaro doing behind you guys?😂😂
That's what im saying!!!
Previous owner was a real....... I'll be nice
Talk about grabbing attention!
Fairly new to the channel do you ever revisit old buys and see how close you were to the dead inventory numbers? Interesting content like the way it's presented. Thanks!
Somewhere on the East Coast, Jimmy Oakes breaks down in tears at the site of a 240 with good panels being crushed.
idk about good panels lol every piece of metal on that thing looked twisted
We missed you guys, great to have a new salvage story! More please!
Thanks for another great video my neighbor lost his mind he went to an auction in an estate it was 69 Camaro Z28 real Z28 Rusty crusty the motors long goneThe big black that in it is junk it has a title it hasn't run in 39 years it's a complete piece of garbage but it does have a title he paid 30 grand for it he's nuts have a great day
Cool hearing the behind the scenes numbers..
Very cool, I thought these cars weren't restored anymore in the US
Well i dont think a magnet will stick to an aluminum timing cover. Lol
**Alex walking around the car with a fire extinguisher like the only person who actually cares about the physical and financial safety of the business**
New subscriber, more jdm boys!!!!!
Biggest profit for me is usually the worst looking, destroyed or burnt junk... most people don't pay much attention to them.
Trunk was still good
i love the videos dude
Man, I love 240's. Timeless styling and can take big to the ass engines.
What's not to love? ❤
Carrington with that "Would you look at that!" Pose. Haha
Yall should do a mazdaspeed3! Luckily for you I have a damaged mazdaspeed3 you can buy right here in Maryland!
somewhere out there theres a 240 affisionado cringing from that crushed part!!!😂
I freakin love the viper 240SX. I would never get that registered in Australia.
Missed the videos
man I want that turtles car in the background!. what!?, a 48 yr old can be a big kid LOL 😜
Love it!
that car had some MEAT left please never “part out” a 240sx again
who leaves the oem tank in the car but pulls the pump
Aren't the quarter windows worth something?
Yeah thats what I was just gunna say that trunk lid and quarter and quarter glass was all worth something 😢
I know someone who needed them the quarters were good too
I think you could have yanked a lot more panels off the body before crushing. Even the fuel door is worth something. I guess you have to factor in labor time to remove, so maybe with that accounted for they just aren’t worth it?
The amount of value left in the rear end….. rip to my friends who I was gunna send this vid to for the rear end parts 😂💀
What would be the craziest engine to put on a 240sx?
i’ve been having that issue with my c5 fuel filters lately, quality has gone down on them lately.
that car with the ninja turtle wrap is awesome. don't destroy that car.
You got to tell me you got a video coming about the turtles car!?
Great work. Men. Numbers are for accountants. Keep up with your super channel...
Even Tho That Poor Nissan 240SX Was Smashed Mostly In Front Like U Said Scraplife Still Alot Good Parts Left Including Trunk & Rear Quarter Panels Which U Guy's Mossed Before Sending In Crusher
These guys are cool but where's Lee been lately?
I already know 👀
That car prolly sucked handling with it's 70/30 weight distribution
The whole video, I kept hearing TMNT intro music
Worlds first plymouth prowler red eye please
Watching that windshield shatter made me sooo sade😢
Can you guys do a video on the cars behind you at 16:08
There's not much to the car, pretty much a stock, wrapped show car that the chick thought she was hot shit
@@alexelrod242😂😂😂
LOVED....HOW THE RUST DISPERSED DURING FIRE UP 🔥 ♥️
Those quarter parnels were most wanted...lol
That was 11:05 a perfectly good trunk lid 😭
you should really try raffling off the turtle wrapped camaro as it sits.
all the 240 owners would have been like it was fixable it only had a lil dent
Because it was fixable
No vids for a while dyin over here😂
YES YES YES I GOT A VIDEOOOOO AFTER WOOOOEK!!!!
Should’ve made a video on the demo!!!
Dude the chassis was a good drift car
Even tho it was totalled, watching it get crushed was painful too the soul
The rear side glass isn't worth anything? 🤔
you could have sold those 1/4 panels real quick for good money
I have a question for you guys how often do you guys pick up focus rs,s ?
Yo Dalt why’d you stop posting auction breakdowns on your personal page
Is the brz yellow series seat for sale tho
I’m sure those side windows are hard to find
What you guys to ship out night items ?
What year body style was that 240
The timing covers are all aluminum. That magnet test wasn't accurate.
Someone could have used parts off that shell
You held the magnet up to the aluminum timing chain cover. The block could still be iron.
20k part out. Not bad.
I sent you a message on your website two weeks ago. Still have not heard from your company. Is there anyone checking the messages...
Trunk and quarter windows…
Some dude spent some money on that car. RIP
One kind of hurt me
Hey y'all put the buyer for the engine and trans phone number and address in the video. That's not cool.
Deffinitley cool to see this car get repurposed, also cool to see Dalt, we as a community were becoming concerned. Less cool to see Carington, he's the worst. But good video!
Goddam LS S chassis i fucking hate it
This guy is boring. Bring the other cool guy back.
Hiii
It's all fixable
Prizza Mike's 240 comes to mind
I feel like those guys genuinely hate each other. The end of the breakdown got weird?
Fart
So much stuff wasted
fifth!
You destroyed a perfectly good chassis. Absolutely stupid. That chassis was 100% savable.
HAHAHAHAHA good one
@@Dappersworth You must be the kind of car guy that doesn't change your own oil.
It's savable because a simple tube front would've saved this car. Done it dozens of times.
@@James-on1vy you must be the kinda prideful nerd that thinks he knows everything
did you not watch the whole video?
the body is twisted to hell, not worth fixing at all
@Dappersworth know everything? No. Know a lot? Yes.
