[ACCIDENT] Heavily Damaged 2020 Corvette For Sale on Copart Auction Website

Photo Credits: Copart

We’ve seen our share of wrecked C8 Corvettes that have already appeared during the relatively short life-span of the 2020 model, but I don’t think we’ve seen a car as heavily damaged as this Elkhart Lake Blue C8 Stingray that is now for sale on the Copart auction website.

The C8 Corvette wears VIN 3031 which means the car was built back in May or early June right after the plant restarted from its two-month shutdown.

Copart never tells the tale of what happened to the car, but they do list an estimated retail value for the wreck at $70,525 USD.

Now, call me crazy, but there ain’t no way somebody is rebuilding this. The damage to the car is described as “all over” and about the only good parts we see are the front right wheel and maybe that headlight housing on the front right as well. Everything else looks like it got hit by a train.

However, as we circle around to the back of the car, we note the rear engine compartment is still fairly intact and so the LT2 V8 and DCT transmission may have survived! So maybe there is a reason this car wasn’t simply written off and sent to the crusher.

We certainly hope the occupants of the car survived this crash. But in our opinion, this car is done.

The $70k is mire likely the original cost! The insurance company will be glad to get any amount for it as the repair cost exceeds the ACV

Oh NO!! Not a Elkhart Blue one !!! My favorite C8 Color. If they had to crash one, why not a White one ??

It looks like it might have been T-boned, or slid into a solid object like a pole or tree, because
of the major damage on the drivers side. With the costs of parts for a C8, if you took everything off the car that wasn’t damage and reusable.. especially the engine and trans, the retail price of all those part could exceed the price of the whole car.

70K IS a typo for a car that rolled after original impact on the driver’s side. 5K is a more realistic asking price. The bent frame will need to be cut to extract the powertrain LOL

This car has no value, nothing more to see here. Driver had to have been in bad shape.

I don’t know about you guys I don’t know if I’d want the damn thing it looks like somebody probably got killed in it or not a couple of people and I have bought parts off of cars from tragic accidents and there’s always seems to be weird issues afterwards like they just don’t belong l’m not superstitious so much but when you’ve seen it happen too many times and I’m an old dude I guess one of those things maybe that b**** should go to the crusher. Man even the brake caliper and wheels where the driver side. POS. ??????
