DALLAS -

Copart launched its first-ever competition on Tuesday called the Copart Rebuild Challenge, a contest designed for car enthusiasts and auto rebuilders to show how they restored, customized or rebuilt a vehicle.

From April 14 to July 6, enthusiasts and rebuilders can enter the Copart Rebuild Challenge by submitting a video less than three minutes in length highlighting their rebuild process. In the videos, contestants must explain how and why they chose their vehicle, and include before and after shots.

“We have thousands of members who work on vehicles as part of their jobs or as a hobby,” Copart chief marketing officer Matt Burgener said. “This contest is a great way for them to show off their skills and get recognition for their work.”

At the end of the entry period, an expert panel of Copart judges will choose up to 10 finalists. Voting will then be open to the public to determine the top three winners.

The grand prize is $10,000, followed by a second prize of $2,000 and a third prize of one year of Copart Premier Membership.

“Copart has developed a robust marketplace for classic and muscle car rebuilds,” Burgener said. “We currently have over 100,000 cars in inventory, thousands of which present the perfect opportunity for this contest.”
