Forgotten 1935 Duesenberg SSJ — Abandoned for 60 Years Near a Broken House | Rust & Restoration
Hidden near a broken house, forgotten for more than 60 years, this 1935 Duesenberg SSJ open speedster was left to rust away in silence.
One of the rarest and most valuable American cars ever built, the SSJ was discovered heavily corroded, structurally damaged, and incomplete. No roof. No mercy from time. Just rust, decay, and history waiting to be revived.
This video documents the full, realistic restoration process — step by step:
Severe rust cutting and metal repair
Precision welding and structural stabilization
Chemical rust treatment and surface preparation
Full body repaint on bare metal
Wheel installation and careful set-down
Interior installation with detailed craftsmanship
Engine installation and dry testing
No shortcuts.
No hidden tricks.
Just real restoration, real tools, and real patience.
