- A long time friend of Matt's gave him a call on Monday saying his old boss bought an abandoned restoration shop and we need to get there now!! Matt, Mike, Steve and Pete loaded up on Tuesday and headed to New Jersey to see what they could save. The new owners want to clear out the property and buildings to create a work shop for their business. We were given the ability to save what ever parts we could and the rest would be going to scrap. The one garage was getting a new roof as we were digging through piles of parts. We were able to save a trailer load of what appears to be Auburn, Packard, and Duesenberg parts, as well a few Ford Parts. A huge thank you to Bill for giving us a call and to the new owners for allowing us to save some parts!!

Coming through the roof! Yeah, that's not sketchy at all. Damn, you guys are literally preserving that stuff from being just tossed into the dump. Hero status!
Fantastic effort with this haul, the e-type would certainly be one to save as it looks to be an early series 1 or 2. Hopefully you can save more of the vehicles on the property.
You might be able to save the chassis plate to screw to new body but that is about it.
@@ralphmillais5237 probably lots of small hard to get parts on it.
That's a crazy pick. I'd give my left arm to get into something like that . It's a shame that whatever you guys didn't grab is going to scrap metal and will one day have Made in China stamped on it .. but like you said , limited time frame and limited resources puts a speed bump into things. Great video once again.
What a great rescue! I hate to imagine how many parts have ended up in the dumpster due to real estate clean-up efforts! I got a set of good old body tools from a dumpster that I luckily found open while they were clearing out a property. If I'd had the room, I'd have had them dump it at my house (it was almost full!). So glad you are giving more life to these treasures.
Another great score. Hard to believe there's still places like that out there. Great video matt
I know of several in my area and it's always the same story. Old guy doesn't want to sell anything, even for good money. He dies, the kids don't want to mess with it and sell the land to a developer who pays someone to clear the land for sale. That's when everything gets scrapped. It's not often that someone gets a chance to grab stuff before it gets melted down because scrappers only care about weight for the most part.
The “car” that Steve joked about being a Ferrari is a Jag E type coupe
I just visited the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn Indiana. The national club could get that ACD type of stuff to the right people.
Awesome place to visit👍
@@JohnDoe-gz8dw 👍
The cowl and steering on the homemade roadster is 1928 LaSalle series 303
WOW 🤩 what an incredible and awesome haul of parts and hardware. Anything Auburn is worth bookoo $$$. Good for you guys on this one, looking forward to the next video about this haul.
Morning Matt, Mike & Steve, wow!!! it's a mess!! but....a serious gold mine mess!!!! what is really cool is the avenues you all will be going down, it makes you wonder what isn't being saved.....be safe, GOD BLESS!!!
Great video just you pawing thru top of building saw some Mustang parts alway good for swapping for older stuff people don't have any use for. More of the same always appreciated.
You all need to get some good headlamps so you can have 2 free hands while searching through those piles of parts.
Space is limited, but sometimes, like that site, I think you should just grab it, put it in the hauler and sort it all later. I realized I know this site. The original owner and his brother restored award winning cars especially Packard and Dusenberg. His painting skills were well known and admired among restorers.
That cut down with the V windshield frame would probably be the one to grab. Somebody could make a rat rod with it that would make restorers pass out when they find out what it was originally.
I think I would have grabbed that flathead caddy engine
No shit! Those engines are beautiful!
Warning: Do not play the “Auburn” drinking game while watching this video.
Haha yeaaaaa
Great video 👍So pleased for you guy's especially the box of hardware it's the little things that can be the hardest.
16:00 Cord 810/812 grille.
Auto archeology. Very cool,
Valiant effort by the Iron Trap crew in dropping everything you were doing to go and save as much as possible from the scrap yard.
you needed a couple trailers for this pick. there's so much stuff that's worth hauling home it would drive a person bonkers. matt had the right idea, if it looks cool, throw it on the pile and we'll sort it when we get home. especially if you paid one money for everything you could carry home.
Series 1 E type. 20.000 usd sitting there. Need production number. Even as yard art if you move it correctly. That E type worth more than all the parts you got. But great find. Shame the owner gonna to junk the lot. Some people don't know or give a monkeys. About history.. good luck. Thanks for video
Hi Matt,,,that british car with the hatch that opens sideways looks like a early e-type Jag. Grab the hatch if it's not rotten
you guys work so hard for this stuff that i cant be upset by your finds, good for you, thanks for allowing us to view your haul.
Wow! Your friends truly are thoughtful and helpful. Your kindness pays off.
Did you save the Cadillac flathead? I have wanted one of those for years.
Cool adventure and good on you for saving what you could. You have to strike while the iron is hot.
Hopefully a couple of those cars can be saved.
I thought all the Auburn, Cord, and Duesenburg stuff had long been snatched up! Unblieveable what is still out there in old buildings and fields!
I was a professional mover for a couple of large companies, fastest/easier way is to form a line, and pass it to each other, not as much walking this way 👍😁
Exactly, we had to empty a warehouse with all types of small objects and using your suggested method it was quick but boring. Went fast.
Lots of cool stuff in there! Glad you take time to share these adventures and good luck getting rid of this stuff as it is more specialized and a smaller niche than your usual FoMoCo finds.
Holy Shmoley! Franklin! That guy did bdy work on my Jeep Cherokee in the mid '80's!!
so much gold, great video, glad you got what you could
The fenders leaning on the front of that home-made LaSalle conglomerate look to be 1929-1930 Cord. Those are well worth saving.
How to kill a real picker. tell him he can have everything he can carry.
I've thrown out more stuff over the years than I can even remember. You can't keep it all and the reality is it's near impossible to get rid of unless it's free.
Maybe your stuff really was junk
You had better rent you a 30 foot uhaul an start hauling to your shop. You can sort it all out later. Awesome parts that you just can't find anymore. Get it all. 😁👍👍
What on earth was on the roof that required so much banging thumping and shouting?
They were ripping the roof off to replace with new. They had an entire crew up there working
Awesome video matt literally had sensory overload watching it lol
Thanks for sharing, Guys! What an awesome adventure! I love how you're seemingly in the right place at the right time on a regular basis! The stuff dreams are made from, for sure! Enjoy your week! Be safe!
How great is the life you guys are living! But make no mistake you worked very hard for this. It’s been a awesome ride so far can’t wait to see what’s next.
Matt I saw an English wheel sitting outside a garage door.Is it any good and did you save it. Also did you find any vintage body and mechanic's tools worth passing along?Al B inOhio.
5:53 No one seemed interested, but I really hope you grabbed NOS fuel tank.
Auburn cord Duesenberg parts are rare, I don't think they are repoped like old ford parts are. Never know whats in that garage. I drove by the building on Greenfield in Detroit for over 30 years and you pulled the Delorean car out of it. I even thought a few times wonder what's in there?
Always wonder that too when we see boarded up or abandoned buildings!!
Way cool you know if your into old stuff it's like Christmas going through that stuff. Saving it from land fill or being melted down.
If I had a shop.the roadster and the rv and a crap load of parts would be comming home.and the car frames.
That guy used to restore Duesenburgs I recall he had Duesy chassis frame rails stacked in the corner
So cool that you get those calls to rescue these rusted treasure…wow wish I had space to pickup additional treasures along the way…
take it all and sort it out later!!
side hinged tailgate etype jaguar
Thats awesome I hope you can get back there to get that homemade roaster and that E Type. That E Type would be a good parts car/donor car.
That had me so stressed.
Here’s the difference between Matt and the old timers, like we see here, things were just put anywhere there was space, intakes piled with fenders, etc. Matt has stepped up and taken these messes and put them in a nice warehouse, separated parts and categorized everything, awesome.
He's action oriented. The old timers possibly couldn't afford tondo what he's doing. But they made it possible by being caretakers
The Roadster in the weeds looks like a 1929 Buick
I must have said “E Type” Jag three times, before you guys twigged, very frustrating. I used to ride in the dicky seat of a 1937 LaSalle straight eight coup, back in 1960ish, always a hot fodder.🤓🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
What a great adventure! Like many of your older viewers I'm sure they share my admiration for the skill and dedication you guys show in the work that you do at Iron Trap. Other shops may do great work too but you guys have something else. You have a real mission to keep what's left of great old cars out of the junk yards and back on the road and that most significantly to me is the salvaging of parts that are not related to your projects but just need to be saved. That show real passion and soul ; qualities sorely lacking in the business community today. Hats off to all of you!
You've got to wonder how often sheds like that get cleaned out into a dumpster with so much cool and valuable stuff in them. I know of a few when an old guy dies and the family arent interested. Speaking with a local scrap metel dealer they often get called to clear out "junk"
congratulations for your work and congratulations to the new owners for giving you this opportunity ;-)
Mike..Matt..should use headlamps..hands free browsing..and even the cheap ones at Wallie are great...
Great “Smash n Grab Day”.....they smash while you guys madly grab. Well done!
Looking for hardware bins? I've got a "Weatherhead" plastic drawer bin on Balto CL. Big one, came from a local auto parts store.
e type jag. gees dudes im in aus on the other side of the world and i can tell what it is. study up on cars not just f.ound o.n r.bbish d, ump stuff. etype jag hatch opens sideways the only mass production car fitted with one' that car is worth big dollars as you can still buy all body panels from o.e.m up to $100000 and still climing a scrap car complete $20.ooo numbers matching $30 000
If it had been me in that situation, I would have made the owner an unusual proposition. I would have told him that if he was willing to have his crew load up and deliver EVERYTHING as intact as feasibly possible yet reasonably fast that everything no matter what it was that was being gotten rid of to just deliver it to my place and he wouldnt have any disposal fees from the dumping facility and I would pay part of the labor feesas well. From what I was seeing and dstimating got missed there was still a huge amount left and a nice profit would still have been possible. Once it was all delivered and sorted.
I enjoy your videos but I am stumped by you lack of use of your viewers to help identify stuff. Just post a video with the parts you have, ask for comments on what it is with a time stamp. It seems somewhat arrogant that you would think you know more than your 105,000 subscribers. I'm not sure what you paid but if it was at scrap price you could also hire some labour to just load your trailer. I was wondering why you don't invest in a cheap headlamp instead of the flashlights and cell phones? I see you do this over and over while picking. Also find out who the scrap metal dealer is that gets the stuff and try to make a deal with them on anything thrown out.
My last comment is is to please label the parts you have so they don't get thrown out accidentally in the future because they can't be identified. Just think if someone had written on all that stuff you just looked at how much more you would have been able to use. If people really cared about preserving things for the future they would invest in the small amount of effort it takes to do stuff like that.
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
That's horders heaven right there.
I'm glad to see you at y'all went and say some of the stuff and I like to see the frame that you've been working on so far I like to see that car done it be good and cool to watch y'all do it
Hey Matt was that shop in Phillipsburg New Jersey???
Did you take those fender mount wheel covers? I need two for a 33 Pontiac.
If you've got to get it out of there I would take everything so you can take your time sorting through it. All of it can be sold or used I'm sure.
Just like my place but not as organized 😉😉☺️
Its an E type JAG!!
Man get that brand new gas tank and that old ford fan for your dads v8 motor the flex fan is trash.
I'm amazed guys looking at tools and they dont even know what they are 🥴😵
Hay on that auburn dash if it is good shape like no dents or binds get it scanned and have it 3 d printed as well as some of the bling and badges re produced just a thought
Amazing effort to save as much as you could.
Im selling the X frame, 6 cyl flat head (minus head) intake exhaust, trans, rear, front suspension, ..steering, heater, other under the hood parts, from the '48 Pontiac Silver Streak... $1500 (Port Saint Lucie Florida (vacation time ;) )
also have a 1966 Chevy 283 (minus intake) $1500
damn scrappers. there is nothing i hate more than someone who scraps classic car parts, and doesnt care about the history.
Too bad you couldn't have been alerted sooner, to have more time.
The Walt Whitman bridge or what part of NJ?
Let me guess Matt has a mate who just happens to know, where to find gold
e ttype jag said to be the most beautiful car ever built = enzo fearrari
If you guys are interested in such wrecked old cars shown in this video, Penn Big Bed Slate Co in Pen Argyl PA has a tremendous graveyard of items, mostly old trucks. They would be glad to get rid of the items. This is the only place this information has been shared.
Oh cool! Can you send us an email with more info if possible? Irontrapgarage@gmail.com
Looks like loads of stuff, must have been quite the shop in it’s day.
These cars are crap!!!!! Just forget about them!!!!!
I was there the next day and bought the bradley gt on the property
Boattail Auburn is very very cool 😎
I would be renting me some U-Hauls
Dennis collins would still have that e type 🤣
Ya didn't recognize an E-type?... not my favourite... but iconic & highly desirable to many
Living in the Rust Belt has few benefits, but one of those benefits is the old industrial buidings tucked away here and there in out-of-the-way places, filled with objects the modern owners consider to be junk, but which enlighted fellows such as youselves recognize as the treasure it is! In the West, even the oldest cities are new compared with cities where you guys live. Because cities in the West are growing so fast, old buildings are torn dowm or re-purposed long before they can be used as storage places for the "stuff" thier former owners didn't know what to do with, but considered too valuable to throw away. The years passed, the former owners paid their property taxes and eventually died. Their relatives sold or re-purposed the buildings. The modern owners want those building cleared so they can be put too useful purpose. What luck for you guys! Unfortunately, we rarely find old buildings such as these, filled with plunder, in the West of America.
Did you get that $100k E-type?
Excellent video, guys! Amazing place! Nice save! Thanks for another great video!
Those auburns are were built in my home town
Leave no box or leaf pile unturned.
Wondering if the cabinet in the introduction is a Blackhawk port o powr cabinet? I bought a retired Lincoln mechanics estate, it's a lot of work.
Super cool find. I’d love to stumble upon that type stuff and just dig through history. Ones mans trash…. Ya know.
Matt, what I like about you, your videos and Iron Trap Garage is that you appreciate old stuff and history. You guys are recyclers of the very best kind. You take old cars and make them run again, classics, hot rods; how cool is that?!!! This is American motor history that you are preserving. Trash to treasure! Junk to Funk! You go dude! Make that Auburn run again! You are preserving these vehicles so your kids, and yours kids kids will see and maybe drive these cars. Thank you for this Matt, you are the man. Ditto all the Homies at the shop!
When it you got hours to save as much as can ,, cause your "friend" has to flip the property... sorry cruel words... but it what I see. when people get a deal they don't see the treasure over the QUICK profit in a flip... hope you can save as much as possible. once it's in the dumpster gone,,,
It is my understanding that "Randy Ema" is one of the top Duesenberg experts. He might be able to guide you for selling the Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg parts that you found.
Hi guys, here I am, even if I don't leave a comment, I always see you, if I were there with you, I wouldn't leave a single screw, everything works because that place is a time capsule.I send a hug and blessings to all from Buenos Aires Argentina.
If BAD CHAD had those Duesenberg parts he could build a Chevrolet.
