I finally had a chance to edit and release the long awaited model kit junkyard that I bought off of a fellow auction goer at one of the last Public Storage auction runs before they went online. Sad to say that I would have missed out on this deal if that locker would have sold today.
Thanks to Dave for selling them and Rob @2ndCentsIncAuctionsCleveland for helping to broker the sale.
Being a Model nut, and restorer of old built kits. This was extremely cool to watch. So glad they ended up in good hands. Thanks for sharing. Subd.
Thanks for joining us!! 👍
It's nice to see some restoring the older toys. You sure are very knowledgeable. You'll be busy for awhile.
Brought back a lot of memories. I have not built a model in over 20 years. I always loved it growing up. Thought about getting back into it. Watching this video gave me that old felling back! I loved when people use to give me old kits we're they said they out grew theme. Really miss those days.
I know how you feel. I've spent the last year building a restoration studio in my house to restore old toys and right now I just want to use it to build model kits. 😊👍
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures I like the black foed bronco
They all some good cars I think.
That's like a dream. I buy and paint old models on your stream. Fun find. Liked and subscribed
Thanks!! It was a fun find. 😊👍
I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing it. Quite cool junkyard indeed. I saw several models that can be rebuilt. Sometimes rebuilding and old unique model and making it looks pristine again is very rewarding.
Conky, I love the old cars like you do. Whichever way you choose, I wish you much success.
Thanks Scott!! I appreciate the kind words. 😊👍
Very cool stuff! I love the glue bombs that are painted and built crappy and falling apart, they just have a lot of character. I used to build models and go to shows with my stuff. Won a lot of plaques. I now customize Hot Wheels cars but I do have the AMT Surf Shark '59 Cadillac ambulance, AMT '64 Ford Galaxie and an older Monogram '57 Chevy that I still need to build this winter. Last winter I built the AMT '59 Imperial and I built it to look like a kid built it back in the '60's. I would have loved to buy some of these if I were able to. Nice video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!! I did sell all of these except the yellow Impala over the summer. Took them to the flea market and sold them in the first 2 hours. 👍😊.
If you haven't gotten rid of or have no interest in those 1/32 scale Fox Mustang coupes, I'd be interested.
Those sold over the summer at Rogers flea market. I sold all the models in one day except the yellow Impala, which I kept for myself. Thanks for asking though!! 😊👍.
8:10 I find it strange that your into model cars and originally thought that Chevy truck was a Jeep 🤯
The one I got wrong. 😅😂😂
The dodge truck and Bigfoot should bring some money, good luck with the rest
I actually sold all of these in one day at Rogers flea market over the summer. All gone by 10:00 A.M. 😊👍.
gosh i love that Quick silver.I wish i had one of those. Beautiful collection!
Thanks for watching Robert. The quick silver was sold at a flea market with most of the rest. The guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse. 😊👍.
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures Good for you! Have a wonderful weekend! Thankyou!
That Quick Silver 60 Chevy panel delivery has been issued as a Bad Actor kit
@@greggabel7238 Quick silver has a glass roof and came with material for the interior. I'd love to have any of them.
I say you got yourself a plastic dusty junkyard cars.Will you be cleaning them also 😮❤
I cleaned a few but then someone made an offer on the lot that I couldn't refuse. Only kept the yellow Impala.
love these old models
Me too. Now I just have to bring myself to sell some of them. 😊👍
I know this is a year ago I know these things are probably long gone but if they aren't I would definitely buy what you would be interested in selling I know it's a long shot but hey why not try lol
I noticed the videos kind of old so I'm not sure what you did with everything what a good idea would build a huge junkyard diorama or junkyard in a picture frame.
I actually wound up selling most of these. I only have the yellow Impala now.
A bunch of kool stuff in there!!!
Thanks for watching Doc!! I wish I would have shown more of the big Peterbilt in the background. I think you would have appreciated that one more than the others. 😊👍
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures I appreciated all that you showed as well. Pete would of been sweet too!!!
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures Subbed to ya too!!!
WOW ..... LOOOK AT THE GENERAL
3 General Lees in this lot Funky. I figured you would be drooling over them. 😊👍
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures yea I drooled so bad turned my living room into a pool lol
Such a FUN video! Love it!
Thanks for watching Christy!! 😊👍
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures Hey Mister! Soooo, how much do you want for all of the old model kit cars? I'm interested in buying them for my hubby. He has been enjoying saving old models and I'd love to surprise him if I can afford it lol.
What a cool collection!
Now you know who to contact when you find models in storage units!! 😊👍
@ 7:28 I believe is the 57 chevy lowrider kit " witches passion " from revell .
Sometimes hard to tell without the decals.
Wish I could come across something similar to this.
Buying storage units it's not uncommon to find a model or two. This many models in one place is pretty rare.
Pretty good score. There's a few gems in there. 73/74 Charger station wagon, 57 T-Bird, 75 Dodge Monaco police 2 door and a few others.
Thanks George!! 😊👍.
I would love to buy that , Quick silver.
I sold all of these models in one day at the flea market over the summer. I think the only one I still have is the yellow Impala because it got left behind. 👍😊
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures ok Thankyou!
Fantastic collection. Sounds like thay brought back a lot of good memories for you. Being in Australia we did not have about 98% of those actual on the road cars out here. Mustangs, Transams, Comaros and a lot more muscle cars. As to models I remember my cousins having a lot of them. Have fun matching the parts.
Thanks Lisa!! Matching the parts is the best part. 😊👍
blue conv. was a AMT 51 chevy-other blue one with split grill 41 plymouth AMT-Blue AMT 69 chevelle-red AMT 49 Merc.-car with straight 6 AMT 51 chevy-Yellow AMT 64 Impala-i use mineral spirits to dab on and loosen glue
The yellow Impala is the only one I still have. Going to try to restore it someday. :-)
Conky, you sure know A LOT about cars!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Some cars. Others I'm clueless on. 😊👍
Likened the station wagon with firecracker damage. Good video.
The Quicksilver is one of my favorites too. Wish it was just broken and not partially melted. 😊👍
Cool video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should Conky keep these models and restore them or just sell them on the internet? If you like these models check out my playlist of diecast toys!! ua-cam.com/play/PL8Sqp8TZySTCdpS1L4Ht0gkx6OwWF0BfL.html
😎Coolest old school collection Ever!
I think you would have great fun restoring these then possibly selling
"Speedy car". Little Enos starts whipping out cash and Burt says " Speedier than that".
Very awesome finds 🚘
Thanks Janie!! 😊👍
Hi can't wait for restore videos! 😍
Thanks Susan. I can't wait to make them!! 😊👍
Hi conky I say keep what you want and restore sell the leftover pieces and parts. Playing the match game lol. Quite a lot of vehicles there. Stay safe hugs
Hi Bonnie!! I'll probably keep a few anyway. 😊👍
Nice haul Conky 👍
Thanks David!! 😊👍
damn I'm jelly. I've been slowly collecting old broken model kits and airbrushing them over the last few years to look dirty and rusty for an actual model junkyard diorama I plan on building
That's a skill i hope to develop. I have a '64 Impala kit I want to build up as a Cheech & Chong car. Gotta be able to get the primer pattern right. :-)
I had them all I would feel like a millionaire
You got maybe 4 good ones there, the motorcycle and trailer go to the 80 monte carlo
Somebody put a lot heart into building those models, even tho they probably would not have make the covers of any magazines.
Kind of makes me wonder if they picked the hobby back up as an adult.
Cool models I grew up with models like those .
Me too, and I wish I still had mine. 😊👍
Yep that Green one is 1928-29 Model A coupe.
You never know who is looking for parts Conky. But where you find the time is beyond me!
I've been asking Santa for an extra 4 hours in each day but he keeps turning me down. 😊👍
Good buy! I'm looking for a 80's suburban kit.
I've never seen an 80's Suburban kit that was mass produced. There's one on eBay right now but it's a built resin and the guy wants over $200 for it. 👍😊
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures I'm going to look for another week or so before I end up buying the built one. I'm not going to say what I just paid for a 79 coupe deville already built. But my racing setup is a compound boosted (blower and twin turbos) 79 coupe deville and my compound boosted 85 C30 compound (twin gt3582's and twin gt45s yes 4 turbos) suburban tow rig which I'm building right now. Have to have a 1/25th set as well.
I am eagerly awaiting each video as you progress
I'm eagerly trying to progress. 😊👍
You got some good classic cars and trucks from the junkyard to restore. Personally I'd say it was a good buy. I went ahead and hit Subscribe incase you show those same vehicles restored or up for sale. I might be interested.
I have already sold these but I have more somewhere. I'm saving them up for the next video.
The two-toned Ford was a '57 Fairlane. Yes, olive green one is a Model A Ford. Quite a puzzle you bought!
Still lots of pieces to sort through. 😊👍
Junkyard scene
I kept a collection like this for many years, fighting the objections of my wife. It felt good after the divorce to tell her I was able to sell it in pieces for good money.
Hope she didn't want half. :-)
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures I should have sent her half the box.
dont throw the broken ones away make a junk yard and put them in it will look kool
Cool
Thanks for watching Jenifer!! 😊👍
Demolition derby time
I think for a lot of these that already happened. :-)
Cool cars you got there! But Before you restore them or sell them. You should line them up like an old junk yard like you did in you preview and take pictures. It looked realistic. You can sell the pictures put them on shirts or even movies might want them. Just a thought I have.
I did take a bunch of pictures because I just thought they looked cool. 😊👍
Nice!! Btw I’m in Canton hope to run into you guys at an auction but with everything online :-( Stay safe and warm.
@@mistyj788 Next live auction is a Kiko sale in Akron in a couple weeks at American Storage. 10:00 AM on 2/16 😊👍
I would love to buy a model car junkyard!! Until then I live vicariously though you guys
They're not that hard to buy, just hard to find. 😊👍
Cool!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Tim!! 😊👍
looks cool
Thanks Terry!! 😊👍
Those are something else
Thanks for watching Gayle!! 😊👍
Wow 😳 nice kit allot of fun and work 👋👍👍 just subscribe
Thanks for joining us!! 😊👍
That Bobby Allison matador is a kit I'd be interested in
That one just sold on eBay. Most of the other models will get listed in a few weeks. 🙂
Most of the burn marks were probably caused by super glue I have seen it first hand ! Certain types of plastic are vary brittle and super glue melts that type of plastic. Most model companies used brittle plastic but a few used flexible plastic which didn't react with super glue .
I guess it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to use super glue. They obviously couldn't paint either.
Restore an make video's on what you do. God Bless you an your family stay safe an Healthy 🙏
Good to see another vote for restore. Thanks for watching Matthew!! 😊👍
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures thankyou you deserve all the credit love all your video's
Wow Conkey that’s some junkyard you bought but you really don’t know somebody out there is going to need parts for some thing and you’ll probably have them the 57 Chevys I love those but I really want a 56
I don't thing they made as many models of the 56 as they did the 57. 😊👍
You restore Tonka trucks also wow your like me man growing up building models and Tonka trucks was my life still is and I’m getting old now
The last 2 pre-recorded videos on my channel are restorations. One Marx and the other Tonka. Working on the third now.
I’m going to watch now thanks hope your having a good night buddy I just had left over turkey now I’m sleepy hope I can make the full video Lolol take care brother
Oh wow 😳😳😳😳
6:14 LOL that’s a period correct turbo! Please tell me your not a big car nut!
8:09 Your not a car guy ,, you didn’t know that was a Chevy truck 😃 lol you thought it was a Jeep 😂😂😂
At first glance it reminded me of the old Tonka Jeepster pickup truck. 😊
Where did you biy those modelss ?
They were in an abandoned storage unit that sold at auction. I bought them by the box as the buyer was loading the contents of the unit into his truck.
I had that big foot model kit had a little monkey 50cc bike in the bed in the original kit it was in 1982 big foot was in every ones hearts orange blossom pulling truck I love buying built models kits in bags at shows for customs you got a goldmine
How much are you going to want to for them? Or how much would you want for all the trucks?
I'll probably list them in lots on eBay and see what they go for. The two trucks will go in one auction and will probably sell for around $40.00 with all the extra parts I found. The big truck in the back row only seen in the thumbnail and end screen will be sold separately.
Feel free to make an offer on anything that you're interested in though. conkysflippinadventures@gmail.com 😊👍
I found a '65 mustang nomad - complete except for the hood. Where might I find one?
I've never seen a Mustang Nomad, but if it looks anything like a standard Mustang you should be able to find one listed for parts or restoration on eBay and take the hood. It just needs to be the same scale and it should at least be close enough to work with. Good luck!! 😊👍
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures i call it a nomad but it's a standard mustang with a tailgate. Like a two door station wagon
@@gbaker9295 I remember seeing one of those now. That would be a cool model to have.
How do we get in touch with you to possibly buy something?
Our contact information is in the description of most of our live shows.
You should add another room to your house just for your cars.
If I did, it would just fill up with cars and I would be out of room again. 😊👍.
A lot of old models, you know your cars. Stay safe.
I can usually figure out what it is from the mid 50s and newer. Anything from the 40s and earlier I'm usually just guessing. 😊👍
No he doesn't know his cars
Man thats crazy, What did you pay if you don't mind? Id love to find a stash like that, i can bearly afford new ones unless there from Ollie's, let me know if you don't want any of em , this video is better than a build
Thanks for watching. It's been a while but I think I spent around $150 for all of them. I was buying them a box at a time as they were being found in the storage unit.
I don't mean to ask a dumb question but are you going to restore all of those model cars? With all that dust collected what did you use to wipe them down with?
I cleaned up a few of them with mild soap and water and a soft bristle brush. I would up selling them all except the yellow Impala, so I didn't get a chance to clean all of them.
@ConkysFlippinAdventures not this modeler, in that case they would be simply thrown out in the trash.
Hello Conky
Hello Alan!! 😊👍
What scale are these
With the exception of the large Firebird, they are all either 1:24 or 1:25
Can u post link to your ebay account?
It's posted on my website about halfway down the page. www.conkysflippinadventures.com
Thank u
Hey there!I would be interessted to buy the Dodge Monaco police car!Would you sell this to Germany and to which price????
Hello Willi. I was going to put the models on my eBay auctions with a $9.00 starting bid but feel free to email an offer to me at conkysflippinadventures@gmail.com I would ship to Germany for the actual cost of whatever shipping method you choose. 😊👍
How much are you asking for each model
These all were sold at the flea market this summer. I think they went for around $5 each. 👍😊
You got a deal bro there is lots of bones to stuff that are no longer available to buy big foot is awesome lots of old school no money builds no don’t throw them away sale the ones you don’t want in a lot I would make a lot of custom models out of them parts cars
What company made these models?
They were from various manufacturers.
Boy you are unfamiliar with models l knew 97 percent of what you have built just about all of those pretty dirty good stuff 😀
I think the only one in here I've actually built was the General Lee and the Nova. 🙂
Hey that's cool
Have you sold any of that stuff yet just wondering
The dodge charger wagon is cool l could do something with that total rebuild
Would you sell any?
Most have already been sold. I think the only one I have left is the yellow Impala.
👍👍
Hey I was wondering if you could take a look at my collection because I have a few hundred and I’m looking to sell them
If you're local I could take a look at them.
Don't through them away builders will buy them or take them off your hands..
Most have already been sold. Part of me wishes I still had them.
My dad used to drive a ford galaxy 500
That was my first car. Wish I still had it. 😊👍
I can identify every one of these, just reply if you need any information.
The rarest here is probably that two-door Dodge Monaco police car, the moulds were changed to turn it into the Dukes of Hazzard Rosco four-door cop car.
I didn't realize that's where they got the moulds for Rosco's car. Back then I suppose they weren't thinking about the re-issues they were going to do later. 😊👍
Actually if you wouldn't mind helping me identify something, I've never seen the big Peterbilt I have in the background anywhere else. It looks like a custom job but I'm curious as to what they started out with. If you send an email to conkysflippinadventures@gmail.com I can reply with some pictures.
I'd. Buy. Some. Off. Ya. Plastic
I actually already sold most of it. Only one I still have is the yellow Impala.
Chevrolet C10
Whoever owned them Definitely didn't take care of them people do restore and collect them should make good Profit on n eBay
This is pretty typical of old models. They sit on a shelf for decades and then they're thrown in a box without protection and hauled away. That's if they're not thrown in the trash by someone that doesn't know what they're worth. 😊👍
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures true that I've seen people store suff outside then get mad when weather damage their items and can't sell them
I would restore every model kit you got there models are way over priced now days you got years of modeling projects in that lot I would be jumping up and down at my age I may bust my ankle or sone thing lol
I actually sold most of these to another collector. I'm having a hard enough time getting my Tonka restorations finished.
I'll give you $2 a kit. For all the built ones
And $5 for the unbuilt kit
$5 for the parts boxes
Thanks for the offer, but they have all been sold already. I've already purchased a bunch more out of a lady's basement and have yet to go through them.
@ConkysFlippinAdventures
Keep me in mind
Bro, you don't know your cars very well, you got 2 AMT 1951 Chevys, one a convertible, '49 Mercury from AMT....
If I did know them all what fun would that be?
Ya got me there, Bro....
I would buy some fireworks and have some fun
I did that too much as a kid. Couldn't bring myself to do it again today. 😊👍.
Sorry but they all look like junk ... Cant win them all :)
Nothing to be sorry about, they ARE all junk. But if you knew what I paid for them and what they will sell for, you would know I didn't loose on the deal. 😊👍
You know very little about cars or models.
It's funny how you think that. 🤣😅🤣😅
@@ConkysFlippinAdventures Funny how you don`t know the difference between a 65 and a 66 galaxie.
@@donnevin2273 I'll let you in on a little UA-cam creator secret. The value of a conversation like this to the algorithm far exceeds the value of showing the world that I know the difference between a 65 and 66 Galaxie.
By the way, my first car was a Galaxie 500, and not only do I know the differences between the years, but I know the difference between the Custom 500, the Galaxie 500, and the LTD for most years. In fact, I'm pretty sure there used to be a "Custom" and a "Galaxie" without to 500 but I was never sure if the 500 was just removed. Maybe that's where you can educate me.
I think that too
Hi those are awesome old models when are going be selling them and what is you ebay user name. would like to get a few kits
Hello Shane!! My eBay page is linked from my website. www.conkysflippinadventures.com I have a few kits on now but the bulk of them will be going on later in the month. I'll be starting everything off low to give everyone a chance to get a deal. Might keep a few for myself though. 😊👍
