Yeah the original owner, I would rather have seen him telling the stories. In a way it is kinda sad, old geezer hoarded these for all his life and in the end he realized he was never going to getting these 34's restored. At least he got paid. Some just die and the family calls the scrapyard and then the stuff is gone forever.
But why didn't he ever do something with those cars after buying them 50 odd years ago when he was still young ? I am only halfway watching so I hope it does get explained
I've lost track of how many barns full of cars and parts I've been in with the same story. Intentions get busted by life and then life ends. Its our responsibility as fellow car enthusiasts to finish the jobs or keep them from the scrappers.
With every vintage tin national park that is found and preserved there are always stories. I know everyone is curious what such a find cost you after the negotiating. Having video and audio recordings of the historical significance of each and every car and part is amazing given most of the time when it gets to this stage it is the family members that are liquidating an estate and know little about any of it but here the owner, purchaser, collector is still alive and well and his recollection is remarkable. The fact there are clear titles is amazing. The guy obviously enjoyed sharing his love of every piece with you. In today's tech world and kid's that grew up post Vietnam this stuff is of no interest to them as millennial's who probably see it all as junk. I personally have had the pleasure of meeting many elder's that were a treasure trove of information. Sad most have passed on. But their legacy's remain for us to enjoy. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
I guess when you give the respect to the cars that previous owners gave them, they will call you to take on there prized positions as the New care giver this fine rides. You are one blessed man to be able to take on such a task. that old man loved his stuff, just wanted them to be taken care of by some else who appreciated them that's all these old timers want. great job.
He will sell the majority of it and triple his money! You quite obviously don't follow him on social media! If he had to pay anywhere near market value on that big of a haul he wouldn't have been able to afford it. The road to hell is paved with good intentions .
@@andrewevans1658So it's better to just let these cars sit until the barn collapses on them? He is rescuing this stuff and making it available to the public. Besides I'd say by the time all this stuff has been re sold he will have earned every cent of profit that he makes.
@@andrewevans1658 yes i know he sales the stuff, but at least for moment of the items he gains has one last hope going onto well deserving person. but pretty sure most of people buying don't care just a "deal" is all every one is after.
Sorry I’m not an independently wealthy hoarder and I need to sell some of this stuff to afford to live and keep buying other stuff. Owner was well aware I wasn’t keeping it all but was more happy I was saving the stuff and passing what I don’t keep onto new owners that will use the cars and parts.
@@IronTrapGarage I own a business and yes it takes money to make money. It also takes money to support hobbies and addictions. I flip tools, shop equipment and parts constantly so please don't feel that I'm against you making money. As for "saving" that stuff you have no clue what the people you sell that stuff to will do with it , despite what they may tell you!
The guy's memory was stellar. I wonder how long its been since the little old ladies ran ?...It would be cool to get it running and driving and just clean it up...that one is the keeper in my opinion.
I can only imagine the stress of figuring out the loading process to bring the stuff back home but you always seem to have it down to a science to get it done you rock Matt!!!!!
On one hand I am inspired by the gentleman's collection, fantastic. He has great taste, passion, and enthusiasm for what are top shelf cars. He clearly worked hard, saw value in things many didn't, and pursued his dreams. The kicker is, despite busting his arse, none of these dreams made it back into a living breathing car, that he got to share with his family and friends. I'm sure it was a bit bitter-sweet seeing them all loaded, and headed off for a new lease of life, and new caretakers. The previous owner has passed these forward, and grateful to see and hear their story so far. Looking forward to seeing their transformation. Cheers, Drewfus
Great to see you got the find of this awesomeness you are truly the keeper for this old stuff you know how to get it with the right people to keep the cars to keep living!!!! Thanks for sharing this awesome content with us I had a sad week and you brightened my spirit by allowing us to see all this great stuff!!!!!
Matt, for the last couple of years you have been just killin' it on these incredible finds!!! Your hard work and dedication to the hobby is really paying off for you now!! Congrats on another AMAZING score!!!
@@IronTrapGarage Matt, I thought you said you were looking to find homes for the cars you picked up in Michigan? I'm looking to buy a 1930 to 1934 Ford for myself, preferrable a coupe. Any chance some of these are available? Thanks in advance.
I guess the only thing I can say is how lucky I am to be part of the Iron Trap Garage family even if I live in another country. What an opportunity for you Matt! I just watched in awe! Keep up the great work and as you see, the rewards follow! Thanks for the videos, from your friend, Trevor Calhoun, Peterborough Ontario Canada.
my jaw is on the floor...with interview...just amazing ....it looks like a trip to the bank will be indicated in the future also....thanks for the trip
That guy had great collection. If it were me I'd keep the little old lady's car and getting running and driving and leave the 80+ year old patina on it.
When you have enough holy grails to make a full dinner set. 😉👍 Id love to see the tan 5 window restored back to original, its escaped being a hot rod this long it would be ashame to cut it up now.
@@lobmin Your totally right, In my head I meant cleaned up and made working again missing parts replaced, original survivor style, but yeah, I guess the word "restoration" does mean a full redo of the body interior etc........Ive been watching "sh-itina" cars built on ITG for so long I forgot there are guys who do the "full restorations" LOL
I love these old cars. I have a 32 Sedan that I inherited from my dad when he passed away in '02. At some point, I want to do a ground-up restoration. Keep up the picking, Matt!!
What fun going along with you as you dig out the awesome treasure of eclectic Ford cars and parts. That feller saved some really solid cars. You have at least 4 grand in Ford oval signs! Also at current lumber prices those buildings have 2 grand in straight dry lumber. Thanks Matt from Al B, in Ohio!
Excellent video ! Love the editing of Owner telling each story as the cars are being pulled out ; ) Great find Matt can see the excitement of getting the cars outweighed all the hard work. Thanks for all your videos
Great, great vid. You hit mother load, really dig the signs now what a lifetime of projects? Or flip what you can. Think you’ll keep the 5 window. Beautiful car.
Wow! Once again, Matt's persistence prevails in finding tons of stuff that is generally considered lost! It is very nice that the paths were mowed for access! Nicely kept place1
What a score. The owner seemed like a real life walking ledgen. You would be lucky to come across another purchase like that again. I would love to find a SHELL sign like that as that's my collecting neash.
The 34 beige 5-window is definitely the catch of the catch. Having the original bill of sale and the provenance from the original owner is amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with this stash.
You guys do Great Work saving these wonderful old cars, I'm almost 65 and brought up in London, so I play with 1960s British cars, but I know that if I had been brought up in the USA, I would certainly have been into these old hot rods! 🔥
Amazing that such a grouping of cars all together in one place existed! Seemed like you left some good stuff behind also. Great stash and am sure you're going to make good use of it all.
@@rockettcustoms6266 well I don't know where "here" is but lumber prices on the futures market in the US are back down to Nov 20 prices so it'll be hitting the retailers PDQ
Holy Crap, Matt! It's freakin' Christmas! I'm not even thru the video yet, but had to comment because I'm tearing up watching the cars come out of the barn! Love the story on Clara Spencer's car!
It looks like early Ford V8 stuff will be coming your way for a while. Somehow, it seems like you are doing a great service in pulling it all together while you can. Keep it up.
Awsome haul. The stock five window would be the keeper just to do a minimal mechanical restoration on for dependability and safety. Cosmetically clean it and leave it.
Three window makes the most sense, but when has hot rodding ever made sense. You’re going with the five window the best bones to start with. Have fun with whatever you go with all great projects!
As you say, there are cars and trucks still out there, but this is unfreaking believable. It was so great that the owner was still alive and could tell you the story of each item.
Man oh man, what a trip down memory lane!!!! During my teenage years my dad restored a '34 5-window coupe. During that process he scrounged enough parts to put together a '34 4-door sedan, which ended up being my first car.
Matt,you've turned your passion into a business,doing fine work,and keeping those old Fords alive.Enjoy your show,and really glad you are dirty and you show us how you do your magic,plus you are very keen on the parts,how to redo anything,Henry would be proud of you.
GOOD GAWD MATT! JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THE HARDER YOU WORK THE LUCKIER YOU GET. CONGRATS ON THE FIND OF A LIFETIME, YOU HAVE REACHED LEGENDARY STATUS AFTER THIS FIND
![HIWWHEE | OHM [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OJJLtTLqLag/mqdefault.jpg)
The voice over interview discussion while pulling each car out was great. What a find!
Yeah the original owner, I would rather have seen him telling the stories.

Some just die and the family calls the scrapyard and then the stuff is gone forever.
from a '34 5w owner - wow, just wow... and the 5w is your "keeper" you're only the 3rd owner of Beautiful... great video guys
I enjoyed how the gentleman knew when and where he got everything 👍👍👍👍👍👍
The guys memory was incredible.
But why didn't he ever do something with those cars after buying them 50 odd years ago when he was still young ? I am only halfway watching so I hope it does get explained
Poor old guy. He didn’t realize those Shell and Ford signs were worth more than this guy paid for all of the cars and parts combined.
I've lost track of how many barns full of cars and parts I've been in with the same story. Intentions get busted by life and then life ends. Its our responsibility as fellow car enthusiasts to finish the jobs or keep them from the scrappers.
Just want to say , still like to see these old cars being found , but my wife wonders why I love old cars so much. Thanks a lot matt.
Tell her because new cars are junk!

I can see you and Kate cruising in the 5 window “Beautiful” 👍👍👍
That needs to be Kate's coupe until she's too old to drive it!
I'd Fix Or Repair Daily any one of those. What an amazing haul.👍

Wow - Incredible find !..... Whoever the owner is - he is LEGEND
He should write a book, tracing some of the history of early Fords in the West.
That is a once in a lifetime haul! I would have bought it even if I had to hock everything that I own to do it. Congratulations!👏🏻
Congrats on hitting the jackpot Matt. That's just one reason why I love growing up and living in Michigan.
Your going to keep what is on your truck and trailer. As a team you all really worked well together and knocked it out.

Yes, wash it and out the oil to it! Polish it! Leave it pretty!
100%
Yes...absolutely!
If that car gets rodded I will personally fly to the US and punch whoever does it in the face!
I would love to see a full restoration for the Phaeton.
When you have enough holy grails to make a full dinner set. 😉👍 Id love to see the tan 5 window restored back to original, its escaped being a hot rod this long it would be ashame to cut it up now.
Plus its not like he doesn't have enough parts to build five customs lol.
It should be put back on the road as is, a full restoration would spoil everything that makes the car special

Keep er a driver

Great, great vid. You hit mother load, really dig the signs now what a lifetime of projects? Or flip what you can. Think you’ll keep the 5 window. Beautiful car.
Amazing collection, the 34 five window is the keeper of the bunch.
Good to hear the old guy is still around. Looked like great fun and memories for all.
You are, indeed, amazing. It's great hearing the histories of some of the cars. Love to see that Phaeton and 'Beauty' restored to their former glory.
Wow! Once again, Matt's persistence prevails in finding tons of stuff that is generally considered lost!
It is very nice that the paths were mowed for access! Nicely kept place1
And also great: the weather cooperated beautifully.
That warehouse is going to fill up fast!
Ok, now it’s high time to give Mike a good deal. There is a good feeling when you share in your bounty.
Wow, what a haul !
I have Model A’s, but I’ve always loved the 34’s and 36’s.
You will keep the 5 Window.
You've been doing this long enough that the good stuff seems to find you. What a marvelous haul. These are some of my favorite videos.
One sunny day in Michigan…
Holy cow 👍🏽
Unreal treasure uncovered. It looked like a movie set for a Dick Tracy movie lol 👍
What dreams are made of 🤩
It's great when the "find" finds you! Awesome haul.
My God, Matt! You truly scored, big time! I think you won the 20/21 challenge!!!
Oops Mike didn’t have a chance on the 20/21 challenge. You need to kick him back a car or parts
And Matt scores another big one !
Way to go Matt !
So many new hot rods there !
Keeps the old iron on the roads !
The shot with you standing behind the ragtop with your arms in the air is the money shot for this amazing haul. Perfect shot.
It makes me so excited for you guys when I see a major find like this and I’m just watching it on TH-cam. I can’t imagine really being there.
Matt; You are going to put the "Beautiful" coupe back on the road as a tribute to the woman who owned it. Great companion piece to the 34 2Dr. C J
You are one lucky fella. I think you'll keep the 3 window.
Rob Felten put me down for the roadster
I love how you document some of the stories of these barn finds. Keep up the good work!
I think it's about time you give Mike a deal on one of your finds!
what a wonderful treasures, awesome cars. Congrats Matt,Exellent find. My best regars From Argentina!
What a score. The owner seemed like a real life walking ledgen. You would be lucky to come across another purchase like that again. I would love to find a SHELL sign like that as that's my collecting neash.
Seeing those 34s together in that barn made my big toe shoot up in my boot! Incredible find and haul. 👏👍
Just found out that's become a Meme...thats been me and my partners favourite interview for many years...priceless!!! ;D
Keep the 5w or the Roadster! Great video.
You've got to keep "Beautiful" !
Absolutely epic! So great. And thank you for taking us along and doing such a great job filming it all.
I'm speechless Matt! What a haul! You struck old car gold again and ITG keeps getting better and better.
I salute you for taking care of your old car.
I'm Korean and American, but I'm seeing a history that Americans cherish. you are beautiful people
I’m betting on you getting the 5 window ‘beautiful’ back on the road!
Your videos keep getting better and better. Loved the gentleman narrating. Great job Matt!
Love the old barn finds
Amazing to watch Matt!!!! You are really saving history!!! Cheers Vic
Holy Moley that is quite a haul! That 5 window is a keeper, just a clean up and that's it!
Wow Matt what a Great Find n Now Mike Could have his Car Huh n He Can Finally Build his Family a Dream Hot Rot
The 34 beige 5-window is definitely the catch of the catch. Having the original bill of sale and the provenance from the original owner is amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with this stash.
Hopefully not rodding it
Holy smokes, what a treasure...!
Makes me want to go out and find some of these. Ive always wanted to build a V8 Ford. What a Find! Right on guys!
Goddamn what a haul!

WOW Matt nice pick and I'm sure you will keeping the 34 5 window for sure. 👍
Amazing that such a grouping of cars all together in one place existed! Seemed like you left some good stuff behind also. Great stash and am sure you're going to make good use of it all.
Effing epic find!!👍
A Barn full of Gold ..... This was incredible , Glad you pulled it off and brought all of them home .
Jaw dropping, what a great network of old Ford hoarders, I mean collectors. Great finds. Cheers
I'am just BLOWN AWAY seeing all those 34's and the FORD Signs, OMLord have MERCY. What a GOLD MINE!! I just LOVE this 34 FORD'S !
I am sure at todays lumber prices there is more value in lumber in that shed than old fords !!!!! :-)
Nah, lumber’s dropped back down close to normal.
👍🏼👍🏼
@@billbeyer657 Not in the UK it hasn`t !-that is if you can find any.

At 71 all I think of your awesome find is OMG look at all that WORK!!!
What a fantastic find !! I predicted the three window coupe ! Great video brother !!
Love the Ford signs.
Wow, is about all I can say ! Matt you make Mike Wolfe and the American pickers look like amateurs ! Lol
That’s right, why run and get one when you can walk and get them all!
Holy Crap, Matt! It's freakin' Christmas! I'm not even thru the video yet, but had to comment because I'm tearing up watching the cars come out of the barn! Love the story on Clara Spencer's car!
Dennis Collins has nothing on you Matt. Thanks for the heart pumping and big smile on my face from this barn find
It looks like early Ford V8 stuff will be coming your way for a while. Somehow, it seems like you are doing a great service in pulling it all together while you can. Keep it up.
Totally amazing. Just great. ( two thumbs up )
I think you’ll keep the little lady from California beauty coupe.
He likes green.
Awsome haul. The stock five window would be the keeper just to do a minimal mechanical restoration on for dependability and safety. Cosmetically clean it and leave it.
Heaven in a barn. Great score!
Three window makes the most sense, but when has hot rodding ever made sense. You’re going with the five window the best bones to start with. Have fun with whatever you go with all great projects!
As you say, there are cars and trucks still out there, but this is unfreaking believable. It was so great that the owner was still alive and could tell you the story of each item.
Man oh man, what a trip down memory lane!!!! During my teenage years my dad restored a '34 5-window coupe. During that process he scrounged enough parts to put together a '34 4-door sedan, which ended up being my first car.
This is by far the best haul I've ever seen
Can't wait to see the 5 window on the road.....
Matt,you've turned your passion into a business,doing fine work,and keeping those old Fords alive.Enjoy your show,and really glad you are dirty and you show us how you do your magic,plus you are very keen on the parts,how to redo anything,Henry would be proud of you.
