Copart announces rebuild challenge winners - Auto Remarketing
DALLAS - . Copart recently announced the winners of its second annual Copart Rebuild Challenge, whose participants were tasked with showing how they restored, customized or rebuilt a vehicle. Automotive enthusiasts and rebuilders from across the country submitted their rebuild projects, aiming for the $2,000 grand prize. The winner of the contest was Thomas Lea-Anderson, of Michigan, who won the $2,000 prize for depicting his project for the rebuilding of a wrecked 2003 Volkswagen GTI. According to Copart, Lea-Anderson has been rebuilding cars since the age of 16 and currently works at Lea’s Auto Body, his family’s business. “Thomas Lea-Anderson’s entry in the Copart Rebuild Challenge was a great example of what can be done with a vehicle purchased from our auctions,” said Michelle Hoffman, Copart’s senior director of marketing. Lea-Anderson has purchased and rebuilt three vehicles from Copart in the last two months, aiming to start his own business out of it. The second place winner was Daniel Basco, of Florida, who rebuilt a 2006 Volkswagen Passat. Third place went to Jack Parker, of California, who rebuilt a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette.
