Got my 09 turbo SS a month or so ago, it wasn't drivable but I did have it running prior to pulling the motor. Wasn't able to test everything but did what I could. Got it on copart, almost didn't win, 1 more bid and he would of won it. It has right at 100k miles
It looked like it was well taken care of, interior was absolutely immaculate.
Had a little issue when I first attempted to start it. The motor would start very strong and then immediately die, after a little diagnosing and a phone call or 2 I unplugged the MAF sensor and it fired right up and ran strong. The intercooler and piping had been taken out in the crash and the MAF sensor didn't like it.
Got everything stripped off the donor and the dash disassembled, and the best thing I got it out of my garage so I have a little room again. Just finished thinning out the dash harness today.
When thinning out the dash harness I ran into a couple other plugs that wasn't in the video, just because of the amplifier for the radio. I did cut those out as well. A sheet of plywood on a couple sawhorses in the living room was perfect haha. Will probably be tackling the body harness tomorrow
