Take a look at this find, Rare 1941 Lincoln V12 Zephyr & 1939 Ford Extracted From Condemned Garage!
In a recent escapade to Flemington, New Jersey, Matt and his team from Iron Trap Garage unearthed an automotive time capsule that promises a unique glimpse into the past. The focal point of their adventure was a condemned garage, its doors sealed for decades, concealing rare gems that have weathered the test of time.
The garage’s custodian, a recluse living amid his cherished automotive relics since the 1980s, had become a living testament to resourcefulness and an automotive savant. The team paints a vivid picture of a chaotic yet fascinating setting, where every square inch of the garage is crammed with a multitude of items collected over the years.
The star attractions of this treasure hunt were a 1941 Lincoln V12 Zephyr and a 1939 Ford Deluxe, both patiently waiting for their moment in the spotlight. The garage, a labyrinth of pathways amidst heaps of accumulated possessions, became the backdrop for a challenging yet rewarding extraction mission.
The challenges began with the realization that the 1939 Ford Deluxe had no keys, requiring the team to meticulously navigate booby traps and uncharted territory to tow the vintage vehicle out of its resting place. Amidst the chaos, the team’s dedication prevailed, and the cars emerged from the garage, revealing their vintage glory.
The garage itself held a certain mystique, with evidence of the owner’s ingenious but sometimes eccentric wiring solutions, showcasing a lifetime of tinkering. The team’s narration provides a fascinating account of the garage’s interior, where makeshift living quarters and unconventional heating solutions coexisted with the vintage automotive treasures.
The 1939 Ford Deluxe, a delightful find, became the focal point of the team’s aspirations. Despite the absence of keys, they successfully maneuvered the vehicle out of its confined space, determined to breathe new life into this forgotten relic. Plans for its restoration were set in motion, promising a revival of a piece of automotive history.
As the sun set on their Flemington adventure, the team expressed gratitude to the family who allowed them access to this unique automotive time capsule. The mission wasn’t just about extracting vintage cars; it was about preserving and celebrating a piece of history. The family plans to continue the cleanout, salvaging tools and various items on the property, underscoring their commitment to saving as much as possible.
With both the 1941 Lincoln V12 Zephyr and the 1939 Ford Deluxe safely transported to their new home, the team anticipates the next phase of their journey. An upcoming unloading video promises to showcase not only the vintage cars but also the mystery boxes filled with automotive treasures waiting to be revealed.
In a world where the old often gives way to the new, Iron Trap Garage’s Flemington adventure serves as a reminder that there are hidden treasures waiting to be discovered, preserving a piece of automotive history for enthusiasts and future generations alike.
