In looking at motors and transmission this weekend,,, came across this on Car-Parts.com. This recycler takes a certain number of these out and keeps everything together for swapping into a different chassis. Smart move if you ask me.

2015 complete Camaro pullout with transmission (clutch assembly still there I assume), 11K miles. Wire harness intact, PCM, Exhaust down tubes with O2 sensors, Engine mounts with isolators, Rear trans mount with isolator, shifter etc. etc. They’re asking $4500 which seems like a lot to me,,, but having all the parts on a very low mile motor may have value. Assuming I can get $2.5K - $3K for mine,,, not too bad though.

I've only bought 1 motor from a recycler and wasn't all it was advertised to be. Scrounging up all the additional parts can get expensive and time consuming. The local recyclers I’ve spoken to don’t seem to have everything together which is an issue.

I’m going to watch a few auctions for wrecked cars this week. With the cost of the car, fees (Copart.com + Broker), shipping and taxes and I still need to get rid of the shell once the drive line is pulled, I’m not sure the savings (if any) is worth the hassle. Then there’s dealing with the wife about a wrecked car under the house. LOL
