Default Two Silverados 2500. Water Damaged. Going cheap.

"A couple of Chevrolet Silverado 2500s that were on their way to American vehicle specialists Performax in Queensland were pulled from the ocean off the coast of Newcastle this week.
The pair of Silverado 2500s had been sitting on the sea floor, approximately 120 metres below the surface, for the last two years after the shipping containers they were in fell off the deck of the vessel YM Efficiency in June 2018. They were among 81 of the heavy containers to drop off the ship in rough seas.
“In 30 years of trading that was the first time we have ever lost a container,” Performax’s Kevin Thoroughgood told 4X4 Australia. “Ironically, the blue one was a special factory order in a colour called Deep Ocean Blue.
"They were fully insured, so they belong to the salvage company now.” https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/sun...0bPD8V2wKSAcR4

Have to say they don't look as bad as I expected after sitting at the bottom of the ocean for 2 years.

I hope Yang Ming ended up paying for their mistake. Apparently they tried to get out of the $20 million cleanup
