VIDEO: MASSIVE FORD MODEL A PARTS STASH UNVEILED IN NEW ENGLAND

A seemingly endless stash of vintage car parts was discovered in New England. The massive collection, mainly consisting of Ford Model A parts, is stuffed into multiple buildings with some overflowing into the outdoors. 

The big barn find is documented by the Iron Trap Garage crew on their YouTube channel. Iron Trap Garage is a premier Hot Rod shop situated in Pennsylvania, renowned for their expertise in early Fords and custom vehicles.

In the below video, Matt Murray, the owner of IronTrap Garage gives us a tour of the vintage car parts collection with Mike Hamm, IronTrap’s shipping and logistics manager and videographer extraordinaire before the team forges forward into the overwhelming task ahead: packing as many parts into their trailer to take them home, organize them, and then make the parts available to other hot rodders and restorers who need them.

The piles of parts were scrounged up from swap meets, auctions, and classifieds over the last five decades. The collection fills two buildings and a packed barn, while some of the items sat outside for upwards of 50 years. The buildings are packed to the brim in every corner, but the collection is surprisingly organized, with Murray stating that it is the “most organized estate we’ve been in.” This collection was clearly a labor of love.

The vintage parts collection includes everything needed to rebuild a Ford Model A, from steering wheels, headlight bezels, gas caps, grilles, interior components, trim pieces, plenty of spare doors, and any mechanical part you can imagine. The IronTrap Garage team even stumbles upon a pile of parts books. “Everywhere you turn there’s a pile of stuff you missed,” said Hamm from behind the camera.

It’s estimated that 90-percent of the stuff seen is Ford Model A parts with some V8 parts and other random classic car and truck parts mixed in. The family of the late owner of the collection has reportedly been trying to sell the parts for a number of years, but found the process to be labor intensive, especially since they were trying to learn about all the parts along the way.

Watch as the IronTrap Garage team takes us through the massive vintage car parts collection:
