Thanks!! I’m one of the vendors and your video bought some enthusiasts to the store and I sold almost all my models!! And they drove four hours to get to the store!!!
Lol!!! That's awesome!!! I had so much fun searching for them! I'm glad I left some for them.
Awe your daughter is so cute! I think its so cool when girls get into building models!
Cool vid, I'll have to remember to check out antique shops for cheap old kits! Thanks!
Why didn't you buy the 43 car???
It’s fun to see your family is supportive of your hobby!
It's definitely a plus!!
Best Buy I ever got - Accurate Model B25 Kit, at a Salvation Thrift store. Took a peek in the box, saw another box inside worth more than the asking price. The box had MANY extras inside. COMPLETE kit! After I priced it out, over $200 worth! Asking was $4.99, got seniors discount, paid $4.50 Canadian! Don’t think I’ll get another deal like that.
👍🏻👍🏻 awesome
Man ! You struck gold ✨ all I find is an old chair and a old lady !
👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome deals Matt! I love finds like these! Always a treat!
Yes they are!!
Really cool thanks for sharing
Our local Antique mall has had a guy put a nicely built Revell car carrier with a Globe Trotter truck and seven exotic sports cars as a load in his display at $75 for the whole lot. The cars were curbside and I wasn't interested in them or the Globetrotter so I so them and ended up with a Revell carrier for nothing. I have a thing for car carriers so when he put another one in his case for $75 dollars, I jumped on it. It was foreign car carrier with a Moebius International Truck and six Revell 3rd Gen Trans Ams painted different colors. I sold the Trans Ams and got the transporter and the International for free. I keep watching his case!
Awesome!!
Definitely a good source. I hear guys whine all the time about kit prices, you showed right here one of the other options one can do to find a deal! Found the Revell 87 Monte Carlo SS Aeroback for $12 dollars that way.👍👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Great find!!! We started goo g to antique shops recently. I found a resin 63 tempest for 11.50. All complete and inbuilt. I hope the show was good.
Cool!! I had a great time!!
On a flee market I found once an at-at and a audi quatro!
Cool!!
That was really cool, I don't think I've ever seen or found any model kits when I've been to any of those. Looks like I'm going to have to look again. Thanks Matt. 👍
Thanks Mike!!
"..Which is really cool because john Andretti just passed away...." That just sounded bad... LOL... I knew what you meant though.. ;) you referred it being cool to find something to remember him by, a memorial to him. I have a quick story about antique stores and models... this was back in 2007-08, I cam across a Mark Martin model stockcar they said was an antique. I knew right away the car scheme was only 6 years old (from 2001 racing season). I asked how old things had to be in order to be displayed and she said 10 years or older. I quickly bought the car model (cheap price) and told her it was not an antique! LOL :P Anyway.. you have an awesome video here! Thanks for bringing us along.
Love the antique shops. The prepainted kits are great to build , don't have to wait for paint to dry. 😊😊😊. Thanks for sharing.
👍🏻👍🏻
They are.. I picked up the 65 Coronet Convertible by Polar Lights and the 65 El Camino by Maisto at a car show for $20 for the pair... Didn't have to paint them and fairly easy to build..
@@RoadRunnergarage8570 awesome. Sometimes you just want to build something with no hassles.
Cool video Great find
Thanks
I've found several sealed kits at antique stores too. Over this past summer I picked up two Monogram NASCAR Monte Carlo's for $10.00 ea. Also got a sealed AMT '77 Ford van, $8.00 for it.
Nice!
Years ago I found five models of WW2 era Japanese planes in a thrift store. Online I had seen them for $10 and up each. At the thrift store they were .99 each!
Cool!!
Great Haul !!! Hope you and your loved ones have a great/safe week !
Thanks Tony!!
Cool, it's always so fun to find kits that kind of places👍😎
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just traded a bunch of car model kits to a collectable shop in Independence, Mo., simply because at my age, I lack the manual dexterity to put them together.
I traded for some good used vinyl LPs. The name of the place is Old School Collectables in Independence, Mo. if you ever get out this way.
He is only open on Thursday and Friday.
👍🏻👍🏻
Cool! Not a Waltrip or Chevy fan, but just bought 2 of that kit. I like the wheels & parts will get used for something else!
👍🏻👍🏻
Get that boy a haircut! 🤣 Of course, that your daughter. I FaceTime with my grandson and granddaughter while we work on kits together. Happy to say you’ve given me an idea to find some rare stuff! Thanks again.
Lol!!
Napa Ca. The Loose Caboose has hundreds of the old models! AMT Monogram, JoHan, you name it.
My best score was a factory sealed Aurora Ford model T sedan for $4.00! They obviously didn't know anything about model car values!
Cool!!
Pretty cool Matthew. I always keep my eyes open when I go to the antique shops here in TX. I found quite a few kits (and other interesting items) there. I even found some old Jo-Han promos…those were actually pretty expensive though. Everything else was pretty cheap. Thanks for sharing my man. Hope the model show was fun. 😎👍🏾
Very cool!!
If I was there...! Next second.. every kits will be mine..!
Awesome video...
👍🏻👍🏻
We had a antique store here and I would scan it the same way lol
Great video, I have one close to me called the Ohio Valley Antique mall, it literally takes 5 hours to traverse the entire thing, it's huge.
Wow!!
You ain't kidding! I absolutely love that Antique Mall! The one down the road is really good too
Nice finds Matt. Interesting how the kits are all spread out in the store and not on the same shelf.
We are a vendor mall. So different sellers have different areas of the store to display their items.
Big fan of building nascar kits from 70's to mid 2000s. I love finding them in antique shops, flea markets or garage sales but it's rather rare. Cool finds!
👍🏻👍🏻
@@modelcarvideos5829 In the early 90s I went on a hunt for nascar kits in my area because I could see they weren't going to be in stores forever. I hit drug stores, five and dimes, stores going out of business, etc. Glad I did as I scored some nice kits that are quasi tough to find now. May you continue to have luck scoring whatever kits you're looking for.
Thanks
Funny how all the DE cars are everywhere...guess people don't car about his stuff anymore. And I love the VW bug !!
@@kevinkelley3906 Anything NASCAR is also cheap. I have seen models and diecast that are half the original cost. 1/64 stuff is also bottom dollar prices. Two causes...1) the saturation of the market with everything...even limited edition things come out later, same thing just no in a limited edition packaging. And 2) Nascar has destroyed the sport...older fans leaving the sport, and not very many new fans. NASCAR has for too long tried to aim the sport at the casual veiwer ot fan...who are never going to be really into the sport like it should. I don't care for it anymore...and I was an all in fan since about 12 years old. Went to 4 or 5 races a year, bought all kinds of collectables, watched every race on T.V. ( any level and even the trucks). But I have sold all my collectables and I do not buy any new stuff, I do not go to any races, and if I see a race on T.V. it is by being somewhere it is on. The sport will be dead in less than 10 years I believe.
@@raythackston1960 it's to bad nascar self destructed it self, it's irrelevant. I get a chuckle while I hear of their playoffs. I have some DE stuff, his memorabilia was cool but it did oversaturate the market back in the day. I Still have a few Jimmy Spencer shirts left.
My brother bought a Testors P-51D Mustang at some little antique store somewhere in Georgia as a birthday present to me for just a few dollars. I still have it in my stash because that's what we do!
👍🏻👍🏻
I swear every second antique shop has a copy of that Gnomes book in it...
My girlfriend and I love going to antique shops. Great deal on that Earnhardt car! Missing that one in my collection
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you have the Earnhardt Mopar mid 70"s metal car? It's blue and yellow. I have one to get rid of.
I do not
This brings back memories,,, Granddad and myself at the table building models all summer when he visited,
The Robert E Lee was our biggest build, it had full working paddle wheel and all the riggings,
But mostly it was cars and planes
Very cool memories!!
Nice change from the norm.
👍🏻👍🏻
Guess I need to be checking out some antique shops for cool model kits I would have bought them all exspecially being a Dale Sr fan. Thanks for sharing
I KNEW IT ! YOU CLEARED THEIR SHELVES ! LOL
Lol!!
I mostly build planes and ships i can count on one had the amount of cars i built when i was a kid in the 60's
👍🏻👍🏻
Cool video! I've been trying to find kit I had as a kid in the late 70's. It was Spirit of 76 Chevy or Ford van. All kinds of centennial themed water slides decals. It was a favorite but lost to time like so many other gems from my youth.
Cool 😎👍👍
Thanks
Nice find...I'm going to start selling off my huge collection soon......
Cool!!
Nice finds
👍🏻👍🏻
"we're all just big kids" is such a great and true statement lol
👍🏻👍🏻 Lol!!
pretty cool I get kits from the second hand store sometimes real cheap
👍🏻👍🏻
This is the best way to find models, you would pay thru the nose for the same one on Ebay.
👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, that was great, Matt! I would have never thought to look in antique shops for old model kits. Figured they would be full of expensive knick-knack's. Ten buck is an excellent deal for those stock cars! The A-10 was a bit steep at $25. You can order it online new for $20-22, although it's now boxed by Revell.
👍🏻👍🏻
I believe the Warthog kits are at Hobby Lobby.
I don't build model cars but I would get the Earnhardt. My brother took me to a nascar race in Phoenix and Earnhardt won. That's a memory I'm very fond of as my older brother died much too young from cancer.
Cool story and I'm sorry to hear that about your brother.
@@modelcarvideos5829 Thanks, I rarely talk about it but seeing that model just brought back some memories.
Always loved putting models together!! Saw your wife, you married UP Brother....LOL God Bless You and Your Beautiful Family!!
Thanks Mark!!
Excelent buy
72 Chevy Fleetside, Wish I could find a boxed one for a decent price. Round 2 has released the 72 Coke and the 72 Racers Wedge, but I want the old Ochre and White 72. Without the Round2 price tag.
I remember building a few model cars as a pre-teen and teen ... motorcycles & girls soon supplanted those interests in me ... OMG at 3.55, I had that Thermos bottle for taking lunch or coffee to work ...
Thank you for watching!!
That fraternity paddle hanging above the A10 model brought back some painful memories, haha.
Lol!!
Dang, dude, according to your video blog intros, it looks like you're better stocked with model kits than the local brick 'n mortar hobby shop! 😄👍🇺🇸
Lol!! I try!!
Gold mine brother. Hit pay dirt😜👍🏼
I remember those paddles all the way from gradeschool through Jr highschool! Ahh the good old days!
👍🏻👍🏻
Occasionally I find a model or two worth buying at an antique mall but not worth the gas unless I'm in the area. Most antique malls have closed down but there are still a couple left. I get most of my models off ebay for vintage kits. Once and only once I found three vintage kits at a pawn shop. Completely surprised. Two amt 3 in1 kits and an original issue amt 62 ford convertible. Kits were open unbuilt. 12.50 each for the black plastic 32 ford and 36 ford. 75 dollars for the amt 62 ford. All 1/25 scale. My best score at an antique mall was a 1965 issue 1/25 scale James Bond Aston Martin spy car open unbuilt for 45 dollars.
Wow!! I'd love to find some like that!
That is really some good deals. I was a huge Davy Allison fan. I would like to have that one myself.
That's pretty cool. I've actually been thinking about doing that too.
👍🏻👍🏻
Nice! That place is just south of Charleston on US 17. I used to go by there a lot just in the big truck.
👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool Matt. Fun day. Ron
👍🏻👍🏻
Great advice sir. Have had a good year of finds in antique stores.big fan of the channel peace.
👍🏻👍🏻
I was lucky enough to have owned a 1969 Torino fastback when in the navy. 428 cobra 4 speed . crazy fast and quick. Sold it when transfered north west. Wish I still had it.
Very cool!!
Great find… build on 👍
Thanks
Great video love going to places like this for diecast cars.found some of my best cars came from places like this might have to pay a little more but if it's a car you want it don't matter.you will pick it up if price is in region .thanks for sharing great video
👍🏻👍🏻
Nice trip to look for old stuff and things, I don't mind NASCAR subjects but my personal rule or quirk is that I only will build the ones with automotive sponsorships so *no* food or TV channel sponsors except Tabasco sauce since I like putting that on almost everything I eat.
Lol!!
Max Brandt - If you know a model railroader, you could offer him the food product decals so he could use them on a grocery store on his layout.
Love Davey Allison car
👍🏻👍🏻
I've yet to find any kits at an antique shop but I did find an original Hot Wheels Spoiler Sport van in mint condition like I had in my childhood for $1..
👍🏻👍🏻
Nice find.. those late 80s early 90s NASCAR kits are getting harder to find...
You just never know what you're going to find???? Nice finds!!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Love the A-10 kit! Awesome mall!
👍🏻👍🏻
Great video Matt, some nice kits there!
Thanks Jethro
At 10 bucks a time I’d have probably bought them all including the Vette, if I was into nascar anyhow. Don’t think there’s much wrong with those snap kits is there? Still good detail and accurate?
I've got a few of those revell profinish kits, even did a video on one of them. As far as I know, they build up just like your typical Revell nascar kit from the same year. Only thing is the body has a gloss finish, so the decals don't exactly like to stay on the body, so decal setting solution is recommended
Do you have the address of the antique store I wonder if they do mail order? I ask because I’m big into the older nascar kits
And just think Matthew, some of those kits that you bought are older than Ruthie! lol
That was fun!
Yes it was!!
That second booth had a Paul Revere and the Raiders greatest hits LP. That is a good one.
Lol!! Good eye!!
Great video mate👍
Thanks!!
Love going to antique shops looking for kits
👍🏻👍🏻
Dude, go back and get the dodge kit... Those are like $40 on ebay
👍🏻👍🏻
i know what you mean, 40.00 for a 1/24 scale plastic model car or truck, i use to love building these things, but like everything else they are getting too dam expensive!!!!!!
I absolutely love the vintage Monogram models. I have purty much built all of them once or twice. That Mercedes is a great kit but not as awarding as far as a finish product as the others. Enjoy but look onto the others!
Muy buena colección de coches ,y el envío 💎👏👏👏 saludos desde España 🇪🇸👍
A couple of years ago I was selling kits like these on eBay and couldn't give them away for the cost of shipping. Nobody wanted them then. I think JR Salvinos has kind of revitalized the old Monogram and AMT NASCAR kits.
👍🏻👍🏻
I just ran across your video. If you are ever in the area of Columbia, SC or just north (Fairfield County) then maybe we could work out a deal. I have over 100 kits (hot rods, muscle cars, and NASCAR). They are all 20 years old or older. Most are still sealed.
Send some pictures if possible to servosandstuff@yahoo.com.
I'll do my best to get some pics this coming week.
My brother was chief graphic designer at Revelle for 20 years! You should see our basement. I helped on all the muscle car boxes to ensure accuracy. As soon as he retired they started labeling them wrong. Now he does tattoo at Dinosaur in waukegan, il.
Cool!!
I've never seen the pro finish revell kits. I have a couple of the pro shop AMT kits that are also pre painted. Something we won't see again I am sure.
Probably so!
Hey Matt,
Got a question for you. Do you buy detail master sparkplug wire ?
The reason why i ask is....
I ordered bulk wire from Amazon
in 8 colors. It just was delivered to my front door. I opened the package up not knowing what to expect. I was thinking the wire was gonna be too big and outta scale but it was right on the money ! Detail master wants close to
$5. for 1 color and enough to do maybe
2 engines. For $6. I just bought
8 colors and each roll is enough to do ALOT of motors. If interested, I will give you product information.
Take care,Howard.
Can you send me a link?
@@modelcarvideos5829 Yes I can do that. Give me a day or 2.
Matt. I know you don't like to build Nascar kits. But most of the ones that you looked at are valuable. Me I would have snatched up that John Andretti, and Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart owns a team. All 3 of those kits that you purchased were a great buy. I would have walked out of their broke. LOL
Lol!!
@@modelcarvideos5829 We went to that Antique place and well lets just say I am Broque (broke)..LOL
Very cool!! The owner saw the video and said someone came and cleared the shelves!!
@@modelcarvideos5829 LOL. Guess who.. Take care Matt
Looking for 1956 ford crown Victoria model kit. Ideas on Where to look?. Thanks
Ebay
Nice Video. I´m a nascar fan. But I can´t go to the farmhouse antiques. I must travel from germany, over the atlantic to charlston SC. =) My dream is to go to the daytona 500 Race.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
water damage on the box. but the plastic should still be good.
👍🏻👍🏻
I have had good success at antique shops too.
I'm surprised you didn't get those Revell Pro Finish kits. The lowest one as a collector is double the price here. You could have tripled your money with those its. lol
👍🏻👍🏻
SCORE!
👍🏻👍🏻
Used to keep a pile of kits in my closet. I give them to the neighbor kids to build. Model kits and dirt bikes kept me away from drugs and alcohol. If only they'd kept me away from my now ex-wife........ can't win 'em all......
Lol!! 🤦🏻♂️
Perhaps your daughter might become interested in model building as well? Model building is a hobby for everyone. We need a new generation of model builders, as sometimes it really seems like the model car hobby (and model building in general) is dying out- seems like there are fewer and fewer new model car kits issued every year. Round 2 is really just "old wine in new bottles"...
👍🏻👍🏻
@@modelcarvideos5829 I'm happy you liked my comment. As to the status of the model car hobby- well, it wasn't a good omen, and I'm still miffed, over Kalmbach Publishing having, without warning, ceased Scale Auto magazine. Anyway, take good care...
No shipping? The asking price was less that what shipping is sometimes.
Wish I had the money to travel and get stuff at these places
👍🏻👍🏻
Smokin deal ! Models are stupid expensive nowadays
Yep!
99% of the time antique shop ask a premium price.
The license plates!!
