When I first moved to California from Mexico, pretty shy and wouldn’t play a lot with the kids from my apartment complex. There was an old dude who used to build cars for a living, his whole livelyhood was building low riders and bad ass muscle cars back in the 80s. Anyways, this old dude once’s asked me if I wanted something to do, and he gave a monogram model of a 69 GTO, a little set of those testors paints that come in a clear pallet, and some brushes. He told me to show him when I was done. But I was just at that context while my parents closed a deal on a house so I had to leave with the model unfinished. Until I was about 14 and all my skate buddies turned to smoking weed and hanging out with some stupid gang from Whittier, I had a bunch of time in my hands. I actually found the old kit the old man gave me and it sparked my love for models. Specially WWII airplanes. I became a WWII SUPER NERD. And to this day I build my models and still my favorite plane is a B25. And yup my favorite car is intact the GTO.

I remember so many of these kits..... I sure miss those days...

Wow brings back memories! Just started a new model during this pandemic!

What did you buil

Outstanding takes me back to my childhood in the late 70,s and early 80,s when I would spend hours in the local Hobby shop . Nice local family run store that always helped you and you couldn’t get out of there without wanting to buy more . Sadly most of the stores are long gone .

Awesome video. Great music. Bringing back old memories 🤘👍

Best video on KZread... thank you and bless you for it .

I had a lot of those when I was a kid. Still have a few now on display in my basement. Thanks for the show. 👌😀

killer tunes to go along with the great kits . i owned so many of these as a kid and i wish i still had them now . the only ones i still have today are the mopar missle pro stock duster and the butch leal california flash pro stock duster .

Excellent video and thank you for posting it! Sure does bring back a lot of memories and I do wish some of these kits could be reissued!

Get rid of the music that stinks

Thank you very much for the good memories. I had a lot of those kits when I was younger. 👍👍

A lot of way cool kits. Thanks for sharing those.

I was going to make a junkyard diorama using 1/25th scale models circa 1979ish. That's when I found out that the only 4 door models are a couple of police cars a fire chief's car. There are a few station wagons out there although I didn't see a single one in this video. Four door cars are the most common car in a junk yard. I guess I could get resin cast bodies. They make about anything in resin cast.

Love the tunes. Its nice seeing all of these. I have a couple in there. Thankyou!

I built and have some of the kits. I have cars such as The 1970, 1971 Mercury Cyclone, 1971, 1972, 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7, 1971,1972 Plymouth Roadrunner, 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. I the above mentioned cars later in life. I remember going to the toy department of Woolworths, T G &Y, S H Kress, Grant's, and seeing all the cars, trucks, and vans.

Bring back a lot of memories I had a lot of those kits as a kid. I hope Round 2 has all these molds for reissue. Great Video and I liked the sound track

The dodge 4x4 pickups ,the Cheyenne wrecker,the 72,73,and 74 caprice,the mopars all great kits would love to see them reproduced

They had some great kits!!

wow.. great kits

I actually built one of the Color Me Gone Chargers when I was a kid love that car

Cool kit buddy like the kits in ur intro all classics very very nice mate i just found your channel i do the same hobby im only doing it 1year and half im ok lots to learn so to sub to guys like u for the inspiration to watch learn some tips tricks 73 cougor road runner cool but the fthe Dodge ram van i think it is my fav looking kit very nice all look old kits such great builds u have done if done all these well big like from me and new subscriber 👍Keith

I only ever had one of these. The 1975 Dodge Van but it wasn't that boxing

Interesting that the AMX at 10:40 appears to have the '290' emblem on its rear flank instead of a bigger motor. Each emblem (290, 343, 390) had its own distinct shape. Cool picture, kinda' looks like a Le Mans type setup in the rain with the AMX with California tags chasing down the others.

Lots of kits I'd like to see Round 2 reissue! Even if we only got one version.

About your life flashing before you, my life and model kits

I sure would like to get 5 of those Mopar Missle pro stock kits if they ever releases them.

I built both MPC & AMT both were great kits. I did like the MPC box art better though.Really wish that they would reissue the Dodge Demon 340 kit.

Nice

Dam do i remember! My dad had a body shop and all i did was build model cars

Maybe you can help me out. I am doing a video on the history of the MPC company. I have already done ERTL and AMT. Outside of Star Wars what are the highlight kits and how does MPC stack up to AMT kits?

Great video... these would make a great collection. By the way, what is the first track please... That is some lovely Gitter? Best wishes and stay safe mate. Model-Makers of the world unite.. SUBSCRIBED 🇬🇧

These are the kits that need to be reissued instead of what's been reissued you'd see this flying off the shelves in no time flat

Would give anything for those kits back

I still have the Killer 'Cuda.

That's not the Fonz Dream Rod, that is the Monkees Mobile from the 60s smh.

do you own them or do you just looked for pictures?

What!!! Fonzies' dream rod is actually the "Monkeymobile"... That's kinda weird.

Hi, you missed the dodge Demon & Roger lindamoods 68 Dodge Charger funny car. The too most valueable kits

The Doug Nash Bronco Buster kit 2:21 was a fake kit and never produced. I think there was a resin body and decals and when combined with a late '60s (Polar Lights) funny car kit chassis, you could have a replica.

awesome kits but whos music

How can I get hold of that 71 impala. I own a real 71 that is built up and I want to build a model of it. Can’t find anywhere. Anyone know where please respond.

What the heck is that tune? The whole soundtrack

"soundtrack" more like shit noise

Mpc had 1/25 scale vs 1/24 scale so models were smaller less bang for the buck also as i recall the kits quality wasnt the best.

you missed my favorite. the 69 falcon racecar...

@Robert Darnell yeah. i had a weakness for falcons. built a few

I miss my Dick Trickle model car!

to bad so many of them in fit and detail they lacked so much and the colors they were molded in was a real down fall .

I used to cut grass when I was a kid and every time I got paid which was about 5 or 10 dollars a week depending on the weather I'd run straight to the model shop and buy one of these kits especially the NASCAR models please re issue these I'd buy all I could

This music is very lunk headed and stupid . Al Midon
