Matt skipped the fall session of the Allentown Vintage Drags for what might be the best estate sale of this decade. There were 3 auction that Saturday and there were a few photos in this listing that persuaded Matt to attend. The auction was poorly photographed and advertised, which allowed Matt to basically score all of the rare speed equipment. The auction was fast paced and we were unprepared to film, but Matt takes us back to the estate to load up the last of his bounty. At the end of the video Matt shows off the bulk of what he scored. What do you guys think, score of a life time?

Not a Ford guy. I know little to nothing about the Ford flat head. But I couldn't help but smile through the whole video at just how excited you were with all your finds. Congrats!!

Wow! I'm 82 and drooling. Makes me want to start wrenching again. Great find! Enjoy.

Rob J almost makes you sick that someone’s near priceless collection was sold as a junk lot.... even worse if he had children who were so shallow or just careless of their father that they couldn’t comprehend the value of what they threw away... if that was the case it serves them right! hope there watching and reading

@donniebrown2896 4 года назад

@@thespiritof76.. I really agree about the kids, they don't deserve anything from this treasure. Recently a neighbor passed, his sister and her family did a cleanout of his home. Most everything inside was trash, he had 9 cats living in there with him. Keep in mind this was a 1k s/f home with a 20x24 work shop. It took 3 of the large construction dumpsters for the cleanout. Being retired I saw an opportunity to make a bit of change on a bit of scrap. 5 lawnmowers, 4 electric mowers (one being so old that there is no info anywhere on the net about it), 2 drums of aluminum engine parts, 480lbs of copper wire. Many other things. Found out later they sold a 1984 Chevy k5 blazer for scrap, they got 125$ for it.

Re Allards, Sydney Allard and his father had a Ford Dealership in London. After WW2 he had access to a lot of Ford V8 running gear and used it to build the various models of Allard cars . I have seen Allard 21 Stud speed gear too ,mostly for the english Ford V8 pilot engines.A friend of my Dads had allard twin carb and heads on his 34 channeled coupe .Sydney Allard won the Monte carlo rally one year with one of his flathead powered cars,He also built the UK's first proper Drag Strip,Santa pod .He was building Dragsters for customers also.

I can only imagine your emotions, coming across this gold mine. I'm glad you were there, for two reasons. One is I'm betting you make your money back and then some off the parts you decide to sell, and have lots of great stuff for future projects on the shelf. The other is you just saved a lot of vintage auto parts, like the cranks you got from the guy who only wanted the cart they were on, that might've been scrapped because the person who bought them didn't know what they were.

Funk Aircraft made conversion kits to take the Ford N series (9, 2 or 8) and put in either a flathead or a straight six. They are pretty rare today but cool other than the fact that you have to take it a little easy on the drivetrain because while overdesigned, it was not made for 100 + hp. I pulled an 8n with a Funk straight 6 conversion out of a barn in Pa about 15 years ago. Got it running and was driving around my yard and this guy drives by, pulls in and just "has" to have it - so he went to the bank and my Ford Funk went bye bye. I think you better take the missus out tonight......that smirk said it all.....
