A crazy 3 day online auto auction popped up locally in NJ and it was INSANE!!! The property looked like it was set up like an indoor junkyard and the owner seemed to like 1939-40 Mercury's. While majority of the listings went for retail or above, Matt was able to score a few deals. Matt enlisted the help of Mike and George to load up a truck full of Early Ford Gold!! Matt's biggest gamble was for a scrap pile that he purchased for $1, but he spotted 3-4 Ford front axles at the bottom of the trash pile. Let's hope there are some goodies stashed as well!!

The watering can for Kate is actually designed to fill radiators with water/coolant. They still make them but now they are made of plastic.

@frankjones4950 4 года назад

Yep. I used one just like it at the Texaco I worked at back in 69'. Only it was painted green

@jekinneys 4 года назад

Was wondering as it didn't have a watering tip. Thanks.

@ronaldheit196 4 года назад

@@frankjones4950 Yup, I remember them being at almost every gas station in my farm town I grew up in. Every one had the product logo on the side. They had a habit of disappearing. Most stations ended up put them on a padlocked chain. I loved it when the Gulf station gave away construction board pop out models of the lunar lander before Apollo 11 went up. It was one of those tab A in slot X kind. I wish I still had a few. Imagine what they'd be worth now.

That gardening can is actually a water can used back in the day at service stations to fill radiators 👍🏻

@davidbarnsley8486 4 года назад

My goodness what a collection of cars and parts And hopefully people will get to use some of the stuff instead of it being stuffed in a shed forever

@henryg683 4 года назад

And Matt’s knowledge pays off in a big way!!!!awesome!!!

@boblamb8421 3 года назад

That old watering can is to fill radiator's. That's why the end of the spout is shaped that way to fit on top of the filler inlet. When I started working in gas stations in 1969 as a 14 year old they still used that stuff as well as the glass bulk oil containers with the spout caps. I recall back then when they went to the cardboard oil cans the glass containers were tossed in the trash, It did not bug me then but now when I think about it it really does. I am the same way with stuff. We don't have any sales like that here in Arizona but if we did I would be buying up all kinds of mystery stuff. I love to swap meet. Thanks for the great videos.

@tacoheadmakenzie9311 4 года назад

Situations like this are a good example of why you need to be a student of the stuff that you're interested in, so that you can tell at a glance what it is and what it's worth.

@steveclark4291 4 года назад

Thank you for the adventure and seeing some amazing finds ! Take care , stay safe and healthy wherever your next adventure takes you ! Doing well here in Kansas .

@leesherman100 3 года назад

The Cadillac dealer I worked at for decades had the identical watering can which I had used for coolant issues. Love it!

@chuckster6513 4 года назад

Hey Matt, Hey Mike, What a wild Adventure ! That is the advantage of living in a large over populated area rather than out here on the plains of Kansas. You have a lot more chance of finding good vintage hot rod material. You dun good man ! Be safe and well Live long and prosper

Spring 1963, Spokane Wa., my cousin Chuck was looking for his first car. One newspaper add read, 1948 Ford coupe with spare parts, $200.00. We went to the farm to look at the car and it was 5 different colors as the guy had used 6 cars to put it together. The spare parts were the rest of the other 5 cars. Can't imagine what those parts would be worth today. Fun times back in the day.

@thomasst.martin3308 4 года назад

What a score on the '37 LaSalle trans and Olds bell housing!

@DougABirnbaum 3 года назад

Unbelievable a place like this existed! I wish I knew of this place!

@dalewyatt1321 4 года назад

It's your knowledge that amazes me. Looking deep deep deep into a photo and identify what is at the bottom. I guess knowledge is power, my teachers were right.

@Paleoman52 4 года назад

I really enjoyed this! Wow, what a huge junkyard, lots of sweet finds for sure.

@sucapizda 3 года назад

That was interesting. So chaotic and scattered. This guy is so chill. Left a bunch of stuff behind. I would of picked up every washer that I paid for. And would of bin stressed out I might have forgotten something. LOL.

@TheRuffusMD 3 года назад

your garden waterer is what use to sit in gas stations to fill radiators with water . to tip of the can will fit right into the radiator fill area .. they use to be at every gas station , sitting under the water spigot to fill the can up with water , ready to go

@tombob671 4 года назад

Thought occured to me, no matter how much cool stuff a guy gets, ya leave it all behind when you buck out🤠

@cc9z 4 года назад

we had several old dealerships sell out twenty years ago one was a old husdson been closed for fifty years and the old studebaker and the chevy and ford all had many dollars of treasures sold

@beckywatt5048 3 года назад

Several dealerships went out around our area yrs ago , never thought about it , till I was old enough and out and about in my 20s and 30s and found out that their inventories had been privately sold and were stashed in barns around the country side .

@rodjames2 4 года назад

Wow! This is my favorite episode yet! First a dream collection up for bid and then the gold Matt finds in his bids .

@ae86hachi 4 года назад

More than a man could use in a lifetime

@Chudhole 4 года назад

Ae86 Hachi it looked like it was a business (maybe selling parts?)or at least they had been using the stuff.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

The way it was set up it seemed like he was parting out cars and selling parts.

@tombrewsaugh1399 4 года назад

It seems to me from watching several of your auction videos that if a guy or gal was smart they could pick up almost everything needed to build a nice hot rod or street rod. Admittedly I'm more into sports cars now ,older British ones, but still enjoy the old 50's and 60's style hit rods and drag cars. Matt you and Mike do slot to keep this hobby and "life style" going thanks.

@brucekiszely2995 4 года назад

@CycolacFan 4 года назад

Wow, was the guy who owned all this fantastic stuff putting these cars back into production? The Rouge plant didn’t have this many parts.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

Its hard to say. The buildings were set up in a junkyard fashion so id imagine he was parting cars out.

@jimpuglisi7973 3 года назад

Holy shit that’s an incredible collection nice score guys 👍🏻

@tonymartin4255 4 года назад

dude you walked past two W series big block chevs they go great in modelT and modelA coupes heap of power even stock very reliable kind of unusual like a hemi But what a score awesome

@CR7659 4 года назад

Somebody bought them

@SteveP-vm1uc 4 года назад

I'm a 60's muscle car guy, but love watching you do your thing. I have to say, (even though you already know it), DUDE!!!!! You left A LOT of money on the ground there!!!! I'd bet there was a U-HAUL within blocks of that place...... Ps. Guys in muscle cars want those Ford 9" rears no matter what ends are on them as they shorten them and use new ends of choice!! HUNDREDS left on the ground...

@D4VE26 4 года назад

Loved it! Ya shoulda took 2 truck n 2 trailers

@richardarthur8191 4 года назад

Wow what a find Matt, you guys sure are lucky.

@nurseratchet2634 4 года назад

I noticed Mike was giving Matt plenty of distance when he was off loading the truck with the tractor. 😊 Self preservation, lol. Always fun watching you guys. I’m trying to catch up!!

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

It only takes one shot with the tractor bucket to learn your lesson!!

@ethanmilgram2327 4 года назад

That was a close call the last time!

@nurseratchet2634 4 года назад

It sure was. It looked like a painful hit. I was teasing Mike, but I was very thankful he was not seriously hurt.

@Flatheadkustoms 4 года назад

Good score guys! Matt, I hope you let Mike ‘acquire’ some bits for his hot rod build 😉 gotta look after your mates!! Keep the videos coming and stay safe guys 🤙🏻

@Mercmad 4 года назад

Those painted shift knob were a 1930's accessory, usually a multi-coloured marble effect. Our 32 Chev had one. The car had only done 7000 miles from new so the knob still had paint on it. I suspect most have disappeared a very long time ago.

@richardbutterfoss2353 8 месяцев назад

Very nice! Will come with money maybe this summer. RWB ❤🎉

@allanperry6507 4 года назад

At some point your going to need more storage at Iron Trap home base 😏

@jasonrackawack9369 4 года назад

Id like to see you put one of the pontiac rears and the hemi in the garage in that blue 32 coupe, gasser style with the colored plexi windows.

@matthewfocke5360 4 года назад

You have Eagle eyes...Good buys. It pays to know your car parts. Working smart...

@Mercmad 4 года назад

@hotrodZack1948 4 года назад

Mercmad yeah had a few of those. The early ones got the little embossed emblem I think.

@driftwoodpile 4 года назад

holy cow what a treasure trove that place is!!

@henryg683 4 года назад

That was a old radiator fill can for full service gas stations not for gardening but I guess if it makes your bride happy!!!

@GWAR1982 4 года назад

Yeah so this video broke my hart. Made me remember what happens to my fathers things after he died. I quit today before I waste my life.

@mattskustomkreations 4 года назад

This place is crazy HUGE! I think it’s cool you snagged a first gen Cougar grille- that’s my jam. Have owned 5 ‘67-‘70 Cougars & XR7s (including a ‘69 Standard Decor interior with factory electric sunroof) in the past.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

I’m looking to sell the grill if you know anyone looking!

@mattskustomkreations 3 года назад

IronTrap Garage, I’ve been out of the game since the Recession hit. But I used to hang out on mercurycougar.net. There was always a very active ‘marketplace’ on that site.

@towrecker 4 года назад

that "garden thing " is not a watering can , it is for filling your radiator , it fits into the radiator neck , old service station item ...

@davidmspinelli8951 4 года назад

Babes in Toyland! And I bet that he is still playing with his new goodies!

@stuartstephens 4 года назад

One of those Olds/Pontiac rear ends has leaf spring pads, so it's probably a 1957. It would be the one to save if you want one for a future gasser project, the newer ones are set up with coil springs and connecting arms.

@johngrepo9976 4 года назад

Either way you win

What part of New Jersey my dad that just passed in January was from the Parsippany area and ran a salvage parts company similar to what you're describing a bunch of stuff inside buildings and car parts everywhere they used to go buy old race cars and part them out build drag cars and street rods this was back during the late 60s early 70s before he went on the road as a truck driver met my mom as a waitress and along I came

@midgetrace 4 года назад

Not a gardening can it is for filling radiators, they were at the island at every service station in the 50s

@Mike-ww5vr 4 года назад

That place is better than a toys r us when you are a kid! I'd love to just walk around for a whole day looking. Definitely a candy store for any motorhead/car guy or woman! It's kind of sad though, just everything as a whole. They have everything in one place like that is absolutely awesome. Places like this are becoming a thing of the past. A whole lifetime of saving and in one afternoon it's scattered to the wind. Sad

@juanbarturen2726 4 года назад

Hi Matt. Good deals. You did good.. I see you have a lot of front axle assemblies. I'm in the dreaming stage. I found a 28 body that survived a garage fire. Otis surface rust. It was oven baked in that house fire. I'm looking to see if you would sell the front end stuff . I would like to build a frame. Like the one you did years ago for Eastwood.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

I would sell a front end! Send an email: irontrapgarage@gmail.com

@juanbarturen2726 3 года назад

He will take $2 000 for the 28 body Min us a roof. All surface rust. It was cooked in a house fire. What do you think?

That's the difference between a professional and an amateur , between making good money and going broke .But what it all comes down to is you got to have a market for it $$$$$$.
