Today on Salvage Stories we bought ourselves a HORRIBLY wrecked 997 Porsche 911 Turbo for $30,000 from Copart Salvage Auction! While it may be just too far gone to rebuild, that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of money to be made and parts to be salvaged!
With the legendary Metzger engine, carbon ceramic brakes and plenty of other hard to find Porsche 911 Turbo parts, let's see just how much money we can make on it! Who knows, maybe we'll even find a part or two we can use on MY 997 turbo build!
Have a Salvage Porsche 911 Rebuild story of your own? Maybe you've bought a Wrecked Porsche for parts yourself! Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

- I have been away for a while as I only look at Porsches now at your site. -I looked in the beginning at all the cars but shortly I didn't want to watch because I didn't car about the model of car. - I enjoy how you takes these cars apart, price them and sell them. - But the best videos are the wrecked Porsches that get stuck back together wether you keep or sell them.

I am not a Porsche fella. I have driven a couple over the years and was very impressed. That said, my favorite car is my 72 Chevelle with a supercharged SBC. My question is; what is the issue you mentioned, about not turning the engine, in this video, "backwards"? I've not run across that issue before with my American engines. Beyond that, I agree, you scored nicely on this purchase. I could see that engine being worked into all kinds of vehicles not originally Porsche's. Tons of power in a complete package that you showed had near perfect leak-down numbers. Definitely a saleable item. I would kill to get those brakes into my Chevelle. I'll bet that they could be adapted with some genius quality work. (Not me) That said, I know people who could manage the task. Thanks for a timely, informative, and fascinating video. A job well done!

@sutherlacd27 Жыл бұрын

The brakes are pccb. They are very impressive brakes. But they cost a small fortune. On ebay right now for all 4 used rotors it's around $8,000. That's just rotors...not pads or calipers. Most of us who do track days swap them out for the basic steel brakes instead because of the costs of replacing parts. However if you never track the car the pccb rotors are essentially lifetime rotors.

My Tiptronic coupe was 143k, also PCCB'S. The steering wheel was swapped. Not original to a 997.1. Sucks that it's not an original yellow stripe sport design wheel. Mine is swapped with an alcantara sport design paddle wheel, and they are HELLA expensive. Yes, the factory yellow stripe steering wheels are uber expensive... dumb, but that's how Porsche makes money on options.

Out of curiosity particularly for the items that you don't have a tight grasp on what they're worth, why don't you enable best offers on them? You have control over what your auto-reject is anyway. It's got it's own problems with sometimes buyers not paying after you accept and possibly higher fees, but it seems like a no-brainer trade-off for stuff that might otherwise sit on the shelf for a long time.

@scraplifegarage Жыл бұрын

We have to be mindful of margins, as you can see in this series. From a business standpoint, I don’t start allowing offers in most parts until a year out from listing. It effectively devalues the parts and with how slim margins are in this industry, it’s less about how much volume we can move (in this instance by allowing offers to move parts) and more about how much we can generate of a given car, regardless of shelf time.
