[VIDEO] Saving a 1972 Corvette Flooded by Hurricane Milton

The guys at Horsepower Depot have been around the block when it comes to saving flood-damaged cars.

While most people would hold up a silver cross in front of such a vehicle, the HD boys don’t seem to mind tackling the challenge.

Just take a look at their latest video that showcases their miraculous work with a 1972 Corvette Stingray that had fallen victim to Hurricane Milton.

A quick first inspection of this water-logged Corvette leaves the host of the video wishing he could just turn the key and hope for a miracle.

Fortunately, he resists that temptation because after checking the oil, he finds the engine to be overfilled, way overfilled, and pulls the plug to watch a big stream of clear water pouring out.

Fortunately, the water line on the exterior shows that the damage stopped about halfway up the middle of the wheels and apparently just the oil pan and not the whole engine went for a swim in the saltwater.

The paint – an unusual shade of teal – seems to have survived the floodwaters and just needs a good cleaning, while the interior – even though the rear window was apparently stored in the rear compartment – doesn’t look half bad.

Spoiler alert: we’ll go ahead and let you know that the guys were indeed able to get this “Flipper of a Stingray” cranked up and running.

Not surprising since this miracle worker claims he’s been saving such cars for a “very long time” and has never had any problems with the expected issues like chassis and frame corrosion or electrical system damage.

Have any of our readers out there had any similar experiences with such “rubber ducky” cars?
