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 like seeing the 997 part outs, I currently own a 9972 and i find them very interesting
  • - 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. As always A+ on: content, knowledge, clarity of speech and video, humor and well all the other things I should say but it is time for dinner and I have run out of gas this late in the night.

    You are a great spokesperson for your company i commend you sir Iam new to the channel and I'm impressed 😎 learned a few things already 😀
  • Awesome series! Wouldn't it be necessary to x-ray the rims, esp. for a high performance car like this? I've had to x-ray and let go of rims that entered less troubling circumstances...
  • a great description and vid, thanks for showing us, cheers NZ
  • @jamess4535
    Good luck. I hope your able to re-coup that 30k. That's a lot of work to strip.

    dumb question, have you thought about getting a low profile frame rack to help pull these cars out to help with the tear down? glad i found this, love his energy

    Doing a gt3 in the future would be amazing to watch! Love the vids by the way just found the channel last week

    I’ve always been interested in the recycled parts industry and suspected that a successful business really has to be dialed in. Wow you’ve got your processes dialed in for sure. Impressive.
