They are selling to foreigners who then take them to people like Arthur Tussik here on YT.... They get repaired with varying quality and they are sold in 3rd world countries without disclosure. Plus, by importing them as wrecks/parts, they can often avoid massive import taxes on new/used cars, for further profit.

I suspect the reason for flipping some of these back to the auction is not purely to make money off the unsuspecting buyer but to recoup funds spent on a parts car, the motor and transmission is probably worth as much as the rest of the vehicle so I would be checking the engine number matches the VIN and hasn’t been swapped out. This would be the only way they could actually make enough money often enough for this kind of gamble to be profitable to do on a regular basis.

I'm a novice, not planning to bid on any of these, I'm just curious. Once a person wins the bid, then goes to pickup the vehicle, is there a claus of refusal because the vehicle was miss represented? For instance, if a vehicle is advertised as a running unit but once you get there, the engine has a rod out the side. Another question, when are you going to continue the body swap on your mustang? No matter what the "experts" say, I love the work ethic you have. Keep going. I look forward to all your videos. I miss "What's in the console?" Whenever I worked on cars, there always were extra parts.😅

This car is missing some strange parts. I wonder if they were “not available” from the dealer at the time this car sold at the first auction. I’ve seen it a few times over the years, where cars have been totaled with very little damage, because no parts are yet available to repair them. This usually only happens in the case of a brand new model, and most often within the first 6-9 months of purchase. It does look, suspiciously, like the car was used as a “parts donor”, with all those pieces missing from the driver’s side….
