    What a shame. Salvage title or not, that car deserves to be brought back to life. Even if you're not the one to do it. Sell it to someone to enjoy.
  • Parting out an under 5K car of any kind would be sacrilege imo. I'm going to hazard a guess that there's plenty of people watching that would love to own and drive that thing as is.

    The interior is a huge win . That car can be brought back without too much . Great buy
  • @lyfandeth
    Clean it up, document what you've done, and donate it to a charity raffle. Someone out there will be happy to get a bargain and clear the title. And the car, an original survivor, will live on.

    DO NOT part this Corvette out! She's gorgeous! I've had a few cars with rebuilt titles and loved them! Someone will love this car! You should post what the wrecking yard is offering for it and give us the chance to out bid them to keep the car in one piece!

    It’s not always about the money, but about a beautiful low mileage car that deserves to be back on the road
  • I loved corvette ever since I was little and I just recently bought my first one A 85 c4 with only 110k miles and I love it Seeing corvettes like this or in a junkyard always hurts they need to be DRIVEN AND LOVED
  • Such low mileage, it's worth making right, and maybe raffling it off for charity, if it's not to be kept. It would be an absolute shame to let it be parted out.
  • @PaulBCISSP
    This car deserves to live and not be parted

    If there's one thing we've all learned from Sam, it's how valuable it is to have a field full of reference vehicles! (Most of which don't run).
  • @tambalatembo6730
    Love your videos, always looking forward to them. DO NOT PART IT... there's always someone looking these classics. Watching u from Zambia 🇿🇲
  • @fridder.
    Cmon Sam, parting it out feels so wrong
  • @22ndfret
    Sam. You are a feeling type of guy. You respect cars. There is someone out there who dreams of owning any model corvette and would jump at the opportunity to buy this. Don’t part it out!
  • @tomjackson1333
    Maximum profit is not always worth the cost of destroying a rare find. Do the right thing and preserve the integrity of that car. Please Sam

    I use those solder sticks frequently, but I use a miniature butane torch to shrink the tubing and melt the solder

    Dude I found your channel as a recommendation from YouTube. I am completely impressed. Awesome work, great tips and recommendations and just overall a great channel. I have now watched several of your segments and am completely hooked. Thank you greatly...

    “We’re just putting it back to get the car to run.” There’s nothing more permanent than temporary wiring that works. 😂
  • @peterdevreter
    Like leno says: A car is only unmolested and unrestored once. Even with that title, that car is just to nice. Under 5k miles, that is almost something for a corvette museum.

    Glad youre jumping back on the C4 / ZR-1 . One of my favorite videos ever was the one where you described as being a kid and your uncle took you out in his new C4 / ZR-1 . After the ride you never wanted anything to do with C4 / ZR-1 because the car was fast and scared you as a boy. Great family story. Thank you for sharing. Ive told my niece and nephews that story, and they loved it too. Take care Bud
