YouTuber Alex Palmeri already told his viewers how he found a torched 2025 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 under a layer of soot and melted paint-protection film. He paid $70,000, including fees, at auction to bring it home. The Chicago mechanic then pulled the whole interior apart to see what the fire and the open roof had actually done to it.
The car still carries its salvage title and roughly 3,000 miles. The cabin told a messier story than the body did as water had pooled under the carpet, soot caked every surface, and the dash refused to light up at all.
