Models are the reason why I love fixing cars today. I built over 400 kits, from 1972-1979.
I thought about the idea of a model museum. Someone needs to preserve this stuff.
I think the seller had his own hobby shop. The number of spares, accesories, several kits of the same and how was packed points to a seller more so than a collector. Just my opinion.
I agree. Too much random stuff for a collector to have. More in line with a hobby store. Great stuff.
not much of a turnover, then, huh?
Looks like someones dad or granddad used to have a hobby shop.
Yeah, I thought that soon as I saw the type of cars he had aswell, 50s-70s muscle models scream hobby shop to me.
I agree. There are some gems in there that collectors would go for: Johan, old Craftsman and Revell kits not seen in over 50 years. But the rest are more common, easier to kits. Nothing really to do back flips over.
Unreal! Takes me right back to my childhood! What an unbelievable stash of modeling gold! Look forward to seeing much more of this! Congrats Andy! What a purchase!
Same here John!
At 7.03 I was blown away! almost every model car kit I lusted after as a kid! What a score thanks for posting. Brings back fun memories
OMG! I love the way you’re thinking of making a mini museum to model kits and allowing others to enjoy your wind fall❤️❤️❤️
Build them all !!! The coolest colors and the deepest glosses. Build them all !!!
It is so wonderful to see those old kits, it take me back, and I'm sure a lot of guy's remember as well!
Great collection ! , , ,I remember that Monogram '32 hot rod kit @25:01, that was one of the very first models I built back in 1968 at age 7, it was a $1 something at a Rexall drug store that was just 3 blocks away from our house
I had a collection that spanned the late 70's until 2006ish? I was working at walmart in the early 2000's, so bought a lot of clearance kits then. I recognized a lot of my collection in this video, which was fun, as I did sell my collection awhile back.
Incredible collection of kits! Especially JO-Han kits. I used to buy those at a local hobby store in the Bay Area when I was growing up in the late 80's
This video brought a tear to my eyes! So many memories - I could just sit and look through these for days!
i am not into modelling but I really enjoyed listening to the enjoyment you guys were having popping these boxes. Thanks for sharing.
I can just imagine some old-timer used to wooden car kits when the plastic ones came out: "kids these days! You got it easy! I don't trust this newfangled plastic stuff. It'll never last."
Thanks for sharing this. I am not a big fan of plastic car modelling but I truly appreciate people being ardent zealots of a hobby. And this is what you are guys. Hope this beomes an awesome starting point for your museum - this is definitely a great initiative to continue working on. Best wishes from the eastern Europe and all over across the Atlantic!
I collected model cars since I was a child. I am now 66. About 20 years agoI sold my collection of about 1000 kits and dealer promos. I cried when they left the house. I’m sure I didn’t get enough money out of them, but the finances got out of hand. I would be in heaven to see your collection. I have had most of the kit shown.
Let's just build them all and unleash the magic ✨
OMG 12:28 a Dukes of Hazzard Charger. I love these Car.
How much is a dukes of Hazzard general Lee worth
12:10 I built the 56 Chevy Street machine way back in the 70s. Great kit!
Now THAT’S treasure …excellent!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😸😸😸😸
A huge massive collection. Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
That looks like about how many boxes of kits I had when we moved a couple years ago. It took two trucks to get them all here to the new house...also climate controlled mine have been. Pretty cool. I will never get through all the ones I have...ever!
Just make sure they don't meet their end when you do.stop hoarding!
Amazing collection....do hope some of it can be preserved long term (your museum area idea is great). As an old drag racer, and former model kit builder/modifyer, really loved the Sox & Martin, Blue Max Funny Car, etc. Please...more videos!! 👍👍👍
Oh WOW ... 🤩😍🤩😲
Yes, keeping some and making a small museum area in the shop would be really cool!!!
Andy you are making me feel less guilty about my 130+ stash( in a one bed apartment!!) Way to go buddy, good for you :-)
don't feel guilty surrounding yourself with things you enjoy. you could spend your money on worse things.
Man oh Man! What a haul. I'm not a car guy but, I'm still amazed! A museum is a great idea.
Great video guys. Love the enthusiasm, warm & fuzzy.
Awesome collection! I find these vintage models fascinating, especially for the artwork on the box.
You'll be cataloguing this lot until hell freezes over. An incredible find.Regards from England.
Like em' Till hell freezes over!
🎶 Memories...😁
Good stuff, Gents! I see a bunch of old kits that I destroyed as a kid! I was a little hard on things back then.
I blame it on bad parenting mostly. When I was five, my dad took me to my first demolition derby. Every day after that, there was some kind of demolition derby at my house, so yeah, don't take little kids to see demolition derbies.
Anyway, let's see some more of that stuff!
wow what a find. i remember alot of those kits from when i first got hooked on building.
Wow! What a great acquisition! Can’t wait to check your inventory on the website!
The Lincoln Futura 24:57 is a real winner. This the original car before Chuck Barris converted it to the Batmobile. Taking a Batmobile model and converting it back to the Lincoln Futura would make a cool display. That '60 DeSoto 7:13 is a rare one.
Awesome stuff guy's I am glad for the doubles!!!
I feel better now. I'm not a model hoarder like my wife tells me.
I kno rite ???...friggin over the top
One day, in 50 years,your collection may be shown to interested parties, with much admiration. I'm sure.
Loose the wife, you will have more Storage room for kits..!
PLEASE, Just Joking, but be sure to count her Shoe collection..!!
All said with Humour in mind.! Both my DoubleBeds hide the Model Collection plus an Old Wardrobe Full of them, in Garage.
I think I have a Problem..!! My Misses thinks so..!!
Cheers All kim in Oz. 😎
@@samuraifool912 @kim in oz, I too have many unbuilt models , in a wardrobe in the shed . AMT , but also JO HANN , Revell , mainly NASCAR , Muscle cars . Cheers from Bendigo .
😂 i mean.... I ain’t that much better than him
GREAT SCORE!! Museum deal is good idea, hopefully it won't be a super headache to inventory & get back into circulation.
Wow the memories in this video. It's like finding a COPO in a barn.
WOW.....SPECTACULAR..... IN LATE 50'S AND EARLY 60'S I HAD MY COLLECTIOON OF AMT 1:24 CAR MODELS. I SAW IN YOUR VIDEO SOME OF THE ORIGINAL BOXES. ALSO REVELL KITS. WHAT A MEMORIES!!
Im so glad these kits got saved. They found a good home.....Do the museum.
I don't even build cars and I'm blown away from this haul.
I’m not a model car guy…. but WOW!! I love the idea of a museum. Something I’d even travel to see in person.
Not a model car guy but vintage always makes me look at and wonder.
I think SMP was a forerunner of AMT. I think it stood for Scale Model Products. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
WOW!!!!!! IS THIS COOL OR WHAT!!!!!! AND A MODEL KIT FORT!!!!!! THE COOLEST!!!!!!
"Model Museum" - What a great idea!!!!
I could live there.
I am 61 and worked the swap meets when I was 11 with my dad in CA had a hoard he sold 1978 , love the jo han for slots cars my uncle got me started at age 7 with amt quick kits 1966 miss some of them kits built a lot of them , love the blue max funny car kit I won a model contest with, some sweet old kits there
Oh. A new video from my favorite modeller/model shop owner! I wish we have someone like Andy back in the P.I. when I was a kid.
Man, the memories! I used to have a lot of those models that you showed.
You have been blessed. After I saw the thumbnail
I subscribed to your channel. When you opened that
First box my jaw dropped.
This is just sad. Some guy's well-loved collection gets sold off after he passes away. Probably sold off way too cheap too.
Great find and purchase Andy, someone was going to get it and I'm glad you did.
Wow - hi rez scans on a website would be cool. A virtual museum takes no space!
late 70s early 80;s I worked for Canadian Hobbycraft ..have not seen a lot of those kits in over 40 years very cool to see someone saved all of those ,,you guys are very lucky
I built some of these ! Most boys did in the 50's & 60' s ... 70's ......
So cool to see them !
Good childhood memories brought up watching this video. I counted 6 models in your collection that I had back in the ‘80’s.
so much vintage jo han mopar kit goodness
I never really got into the cars but I have been into modeling since the 60's Tanks, planes, subs, and trucks, These are a blast from the past though!
That AMT 49 Ford in the first box you show...I had that model this is incredible
12:10 - I had the ' Supercharged '56 Chevy ' and the ' Dukes of Hazzard ' Kits back in the 70's
Man, what a collection to find. You never know what people have stored away. My brother passed away and I got some of his kits and one in particular is a 59 ford retractable that I can't wait to build.not sure how old it is but by the look of the box it could be from the sixties.
Andy, do make virtual version of the museum somewhere on your page, collection of kits pictures with some trivia from your friend. Call it after the collection owner, it will be great way to memorise the guy and all his kits :)
Great idea 👍
I remember back in the late 70's a place called LIL'S HOBBY LOBBY that had EVERY model & EVERY part & piece needed for ANYTHING in the hobby industry...such great memories of old places like that
A Museum is a fantastic idea Andy. Obviously the owner was a collector or had a shop,less a builder. To think they could have ended up in land fill or chucked in a 2nd hand shop of some sort. Who ever collected these now gets them recorded,televised,protected and as you say, preserved for many 1000s to enjoy on your channel or in person. OK he didnt have a plan for them,or his family wasnt sure what to do but im pleased to see its ended up with an enthusiast and store owner like yourself. We know you will respect and appreciate this ' life story' and share the journey with all of us. Its in a good place and together.
24:55 That Lincoln Futura concept car is what became the 60's Batmobile IRL.
My Kiwi mate has a 58 Cadillac I've given him an old Matchbox 58 Cadillac I'd found in the past but there aren't many 58 Cadillac models out there, I'd told him about the old Revell 58 kit and so sent him the TH-cam link and was just talking to him about the Cadillac Eldorado kit with the Futura
Have you seen the old movie starring the Futura ?
anything 72' I'll buy! looks like stepping back in time......too cool!!!
Ohhh those Cavaliers! I so wish GM had ordered one more year of promos so that doing an '84-87 would be in range. My modeling skills are such that I could and want to rebuild that hatchback coupe into a 4 door wagon with nothing but styrene but would fall flat on that early Type 10 coupe-only nose.
Great purchase, some amazing kits right there! Congrats!
I had maybe 10 kits from the video, it was all I was able to afford at the time. Thanks for the memories...
WOW! - What a collection !
Wow awesome Collection i have noticed in the last 30 years of attending car parts car swap meets people buying models for man caves or to build
WOW! Fantastic find 👍
I am not a car guy, but that was great. I especially loved the old wooden kits (at least they gave you a pre-shaped body rather than just a block of wood and a set of plans, as in the earliest wooden kits), and the Lincoln Futura - one of my favourite cars ever. Thanks for the video.
Andy
Wow, what an amazing collection of car kits. All you need now, is to find a massive job lot of old military kits. That would be awesome.
Wow! For sure when I come down next winter your shop will be one of my first stops especially if you still have some of these kits left. Covid better be over and the border open to us Canadian snow birds.
Those packages are so cool I'd take photographs and put them on t-shirts, maybe with the instruction diagrams overlapping on the front or back :)
That's what I was thinking. Not much can be done with the kits, but the box art is where the memories are, and can and should be shared with the world.
"Scale auto magazine "-?? I learned something new today. Never heard of Jo-han,but thats a fantastic collection!
I love the idea of a museum for these kits.
Something I am doing to make sure my wife doesn't give away my model railroad stash. I have a spreadsheet I keep current and more importantly keep to myself while alive. I keep a copy in our safety deposit box. The values of all of the models are listed. This should help her make sure they get full value for the stash.
15:05. I made the black 55 Chevy with the flame 40 years ago. Wow!
Loving the wood model kits!!!
The Pinto Street Rod was the first glue model I built back in the late 70’s. That was nice to see.
A great video. I have alot of old models, but that. Is great.👍👍👍😈
that cavalier is so cool, probably the only time you will ever hear that........ Yep lol
I have been building model cars for 60 years . I even have one that is 67 years old,
is restored and beautiful . It is a 1954 Ford convertible. In all I have 230 cars.
I have made a Ford museum . 91 years represented in scale.
I rarely build cars, but watch Lukas channel. I really enjoy it
What an amazing Find! ...and to think that I thought I was a hoarder of old kits before seeing this.
Andy You are the one to have this collection. I like the Idea of a Museum. would a Galaxie Trailer be for sale in the future? Or maybe some of those parts for Oval stockers?
Great Idea !!! Build it and I will come !!!
Since you have so many boxes that you haven't opened, I wont talk about the kits that we haven't seen. But man o man this takes me back to the little local hobby shop that I would ride my bike to on Saturday mornings with my allowance, trying to decide what kit to buy this week. Jo-Hans were always exciting because you never knew what color the kit would be molded in! Some of the aftermarket stuff was so cool. I remember white metal carbs and disk brakes, so many cool things. This may have set you back a pretty penny, but even just looking at these is worth it!!
Wow.. What a treasure !!!
The seven seas are relieved a buyer was found for all that plastic 😉
I wish shop of yours is 6000km closer,so kids and I can pay a visit every saturday
My best friends has his dad's collection of thousands of vintage models in the box. It's crazy. He's finally going through it all to start selling but there are so many he's a little overwhelmed.
Friggin' Sic...ohhhhh mannnn....wow....Danke for en das share
All I can say is WOW what a score the museum sounds a great idea Andy I mean you do looks like you do have a lot of multiple of the same kits I hope you pat your buddy down before he left to make sure he wasn't taken off with anything too valuable👍👍
Lovely stash and would be fun just going through all those boxes...........like a big Lucky Dip!!
Those wooden models are like evolved versions of “soap box derby “ Boy Scout kits.
I think you mean Pinewood Derby
Andy Page Those are the mistakes you can make when commenting under the influence. My favorite influence is Heineken ! :)
very cool. i am 66. i remember. i have a tendency to buy more than i build. But nothing near this .
Always kind of sad to see a collection like this. Going to make some assumptions here - have seen things like this often over the years. Some guy squirreled these away in a climate-controlled storage unit, probably paid thousands and thousands of dollars in rent over the years, then I'm assuming he died and whoever got control of the unit sold them for pennies on the dollar. Lesson to be learned: If your family has no interest in your hobby, make arrangements for what is going to happen to your stuff when you are no longer around. Best case, get rid of it yourself if you can get the timing right.
Agree would be good to know the backstory. Hopefully it was his house and didnt pay rent and he paid the estate a fair price for them. Mine is about a third of that and same mix. I can totally relate to the original collector too as that is how I keep mine ie in order and with the same grouping. TBH I love the box art and instructions and its almost a shame to build 'em. It would be great if you did keep them as a collection because once they're gone, they're gone.
Yep. I heard the story of a widow who threw thousands of models in the 1/35 scale in the garbage.
If that’s the case at least they’ve been sold back into the hobby rather than straight into a dumpster or landfill.
When its time its to Late.
Sometimes people who horde stuff like this become greedy Gollums. You even see them on American pickers. They come over to buy things and it pains them to even get rid of a rusty screw. Wasn't there an episode of Frank and Mike being called back to this guys barn of Motorcycles and such because the owner had died. You can tell the family were overwhelmed to get rid of the stuff and even they didn't want to get rid of everything for fear they were going to be ripped off. They believed they were sitting on Hundreds of thousands of dollars as some of the stuff deteriorated into a heap of rust.
Even close family members might be reluctant to get involved for fear of family infighting that may occur because they could be accused of getting rid of things too cheaply. it's a delicate dance on the edge of a razor. I've been to so many estate sales because the kids don't even want to deal with the household collection of things.
Loved AMT an Johan models. Used to build both an enjoyed putting them together. These new kit prices are out of site now, can't afford them like I did. Plus they don't have the metal axels any more. I could jack them up that was popular in the 60s. Also made Tiger Paw tires by taking a red ink pen an color the white walls. Those were the good old days.
Lovely vid, you are a very lucky guy, and we are lucky that a guy like you found this stash.
Loving the look of your shop too, wish we had something like that over here.
I remember building most of these....I was lucky to have a shop that carried NOS kits....killer to see others into it
