Finally Found My DREAM CAR!!! Picking Up the 1939 LINCOLN ZEPHYR!! (SUPER RARE)

You would have enjoyed knowing one of my customers from back in the 80s, who at one time had a Lincoln coupe and roadster for every year from 1932 - 46. I personally worked on his 1939 Lincoln Zephyr 2 door sedan when he brought it out of storage to use. I put a dual carb intake manifold on it for him and I even got to "test drive" it with him. The old V12s were extremely smooth, though not very powerful. Some of his cars had be converted to later V8s, Chrysler hemi, Corvette 327, early Ford Yblock 312, etc. He also collected Nash Metropolitans and left me one in his will. There were several parts cars and a garage bay full of parts that I couldn't take as I was moving out of state. The second floor of his barn was loaded with piles of Lincoln parts of all kinds. His name was Doc Barrows. He was a member of the Lincoln club of America. Great old gentleman with a truly unique collection of cars. Oh, I didn't mention that his daily driver was a 64 Studebaker Lark...

[@johngrepo9976]

Did he know a man from Pomona named marv the Lincoln man?

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

@@johngrepo9976 I don't know. I did meet a couple of his friends from the club, but being back in the 70s-80s I don't recall their names now. It will be interesting to see your progress on this project.

[@kiwinewz2042]

1977 everyday after school my friend and I went to his dads business. There we helped his dad and in the process learned how to restore a 39 FORD De Lux. The Lincoln Zephyr was our dream car. The 39 is still winning concours de’Elegance at car show’s. My friend has restored 4 Classic Mustangs and many more Fords and Chevy’s etc. Revamped and modernised 1 Mustang. It’s his hobby.

[@MakeItKustom]

Right on! That’s where I’ll be after school. Sounds like that was the real score

[@Stryder-mc1lu]

My father had one brought me home from the Hospital after I was born. You do great work, best of luck with the car.

[@MakeItKustom]

Really!? That’s pretty cool. Your father had great taste ha ha! Thank you very much cheers!

[@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510]

Great find, and so close to home as well... That must have been a long time love for the previous owner, to have collected all that history with the car. Bill Hines one of the all time greats, so far in front of most other builders that got a bigger slice of the pie.. Make the car your own watch out for Scrape.

[@andygriffiths8647]

Thanks man! I will definitely learn a lot on this build and it will really test my skills

[@fonhollohan2908]

I'm stoked for you man, I can't wait till I see what you create with this baby. It should be fantastic creation when she's all said and done, I hope your starting right away. LOL I love the ole flat head v 12's their beautiful looking Engines. You scored with Norm being the guy who took care of this car over the years. His meticulous discipline in being organized and keeping as you said even the rusted old parts. All of that is such a score most folks don't keep that kind of diligence in storing all those parts, even to have the parts alone is saving you a bundle. As I said, you scored man. Congrats...you deserve it, you've done all the hard work to get to where your at, I excited to come along on the journey with you.

[@davidstoodley6488]

I'm only 5yrs younger than this car! In my youth I lusted after a "36 Ford 3 window coupe owned by an old lady in our small town in VT. I understand and admire your ambition for the conversion to the coupe. I'll be following along from my home in the Philippines.

[@MakeItKustom]

Well yeah I would definitely be lusting after that down the street to. 36 Ford’s are also a favourite of mine especially their headlights

[@danwebber9494]

Always loved the zephyr. I had a 39 Ford 4 door for awhile and now I’m sitting on my dream build, a 37 Chevy pickup.

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s one of my favourite pick up trucks right there. It’s a tie between 37 and 39 for me. Thanks Dan!

[@scotthay1486]

Outstanding find on your doorstep no less. One could say it was meant to be. The care and work already lavished on it by the previous owner makes it a rare find indeed. Congratulations. Being your dream car is going to make this a special build and will challenge even your superb metalworking talents I think. However the end result will be undoubtedly unique, irreplaceable, and priceless. Good luck and best wishes.

[@felixcat9318]

To my knowledge I have never seen one of these, but around a third of the way through the video, I was beguiled! The image of the front end as it was on the (really nice) trailer was the bit that finally hooked me, yup! I was captivated by that gorgeous style - And what style it has! The seller clearly loved his car, and had accepted the reality that he was never going to be able to do it justice, and so he passed it on to the man whom would! Having seen your artistry with metal, there isn't anything that you can't do with this to make it just how you want, the seller recognised that too! I think it's in very good condition and is well worth your investment. How fortunate that we'll get to see you bring this car to life, I'm really happy for you that you got the car of your dreams, it's lucky to find itself in your hands. If car's could speak, this one would be pretty stoked at what lies ahead...

[@MakeItKustom]

Thank you man I am so grateful to have the opportunity to get this car of my dreams. I even had a friend asked me “is this really the car of your dreams you never speak of it! “ That is how out of reach I imagined this car would be. So for these circumstances to come about I am speechless. It’s always been one of my favourite cars but for the rarity and the price tag I figured it would be many years until I could afford one

[@brucebell6020]

You are such a metal magician I have no doubt that that car will be perfect thank you for all the shows that you show us and keep up beautiful good work

[@bigblockkings1031]

That man you got it from reminded me of my friend Jim. He realized that he just didn't have enough time left for him to build it and passed the torch to a younger man. Sad to let it go but he could see your excitement and felt that you would do it justice. Very happy for you. Looking forward to seeing build videos 😎👍

Its great to see the enthusiasm you have within you for just working with metal and I cant wait to see your interpretation. Rarely does one get to see a metal guy get to build the car he has been dreaming of doing his whole life.

I used to work for a guy that sold parts for that generation of Lincoln Zephyrs and Continentals. This was 15 years ago, but he had a warehouse full of parts. (I boxed up the orders). Look up Bob Boos in Fountain Hills, AZ. If he sold off his inventory, I bet he knows where it all is. He can definitely help you as well, he was restoring one while I worked for him. Always loved those cars, I’ll be waiting to see your progress. Good luck with the build!

Mad respect to the ol man, it took a lot for him to sell it, he did what a lot of ppl don’t do. Usually what happens after the owner passes away, the car get scrapped.

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s exactly what he was worried about too! He didn’t have any kids or family left other than his older sister so he was concerned that the car would not get past to someone who would love it. I hope to take him for a cruise in it

Congratulations on a great find! My dad used to tell me stories about the Lincoln Zephyr he owned back in the late 40's-1950's...in Japan! Imagine trying to make it around the tiny streets of Yokohama in one of those! One of his favourite stories was about the tendency of those alloy heads to suddenly "lose" a spark plug, which would go flying up into the hood, making an egg-shaped bump...

Hello I found your channel a few days ago and looking back on your channel I found this one about the 1939 Zephyr. Our shop weeks ago received a 1939 Zephyr coupe from another shop. This is a full restoration back to original. It is all dismantled it was painted but we are going back to zero. While we have no extra parts what we do have and can share with you is "MATH" ! Our car is apart and I can take pictures and measure the whole car. You mentioned in your video about extending the doors and making the quarters to make it a coupe. We have a complete car and if you tell me what you need I can take pictures and take measurements for you. Adrian Killer Hot Rods Arlington, TX

Nice car and I can relate since I helped my friend who is a purist and has a 39 Pontiac 4 door. The lines are cool too but, your car is cooler and looks very clean just like my friends rust free 39. It's a shame you want to cut it up but you have your dreams and it's your dream. What would be cooler and a bigger challenge since you have the perfect form is to model off your car, you make your own body and copy everything then make what you want. Good luck with your project you are very talented and lucky because you can tell by your smile. You look really happy on this find!

I plan to build it pretty soon but have no idea witch direction to go. I don’t wanna cut up a virgin 39 pickup. But I also don’t want to throw a v8 in a 39 pickup and call it done lol. I never liked hydraulics or low riders but that’s definitely growing on me. At this point I realize I just need to watch and learn some more ha. Awesome content though man! Watching from Georgia, USA

Right on Cody! You own my favourite track of all time. I’ve been dreaming of a 39 Chevrolet since I first saw one. The lines on that pick up our amazing the grill is perfect. I like them done more like a bomb. Low and all the extra chrome goodies

[@codycole8]

@@MakeItKustom thanks for the reply! And I agree, the low look would look awesome. I just have allot of learning to do before I dive in haha. I dig your style of builds so I'm gonna keep watching and learning!

I believe they produced some fibreglass Zephyr 3 Window Coupe bodies, so you might be able to source a fibreglass deck lid. If not, a 39,40 Coupe deck lid is another option. I remember I guy over here built a 39 Willys Gasser coupe out of a sedan and used a glass deck lid for the base.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yes they definitely did! And they still do produce those bodies. There won’t be any fibreglass in this car but I appreciate the idea. I’m going to push myself to make everything from steel hand formed

The joy on your face says it all. Why do old cars do this to us I'll never know.

[@MakeItKustom]

Haha thanks man! Old cars are just have so much style and are so classy and cool!

I just saw a zephyr on another channel and they are sweet you might check him out he has a 3 carb set up on the the one he did .he does some sweet work I’m sure you would like. Bellows Kustoms. I love your work and the knowledge you share thanks

[@dirtydeanis4428]

That’s gonna be a hell of a lot of work but judging by your past builds it shouldn’t be that difficult to do. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks so much man! Definitely have a lot of work ahead! But I’m super stoked! Thanks for watching 🙏
