IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE TWO THOUSANDS DOLLARS FOR A BURAGO'S TESTAROSSA 🤔

If it´s a rare limited CMC Modell, ok. But Burago, no. CMC are all handcrafted and a masterpiece.

Personally, I wish you would make a video showing us just how you "aged" your models before miraculously "restoring" them. Now that, would be more interesting

Just throw it in oven cleaner or fairy power spray, also bleach + water mix will mess up the acrylic / chrome paint

True but also $900 my ass.
Nice job on replacing the missing door 👍
The inside the can shot was awesome! Good job!
You are a true craftsman and fantastic.
Bit of advice for the future, plastic and white diecast alloy (the alloy that most of these toy cars are made of, which is aluminium and zinc), does not rust.

The door job is absokutly fantastic!
You are pioneer in restoration,Hats off.
Не каждый свою машину подвергает хотя бы маломальскому ремонту. А тут игрушку в конфетку превратил 👍👍👍
First TestaRossa was 1957 which is wht this one looks like. Great Job1
The journey of regeneration is so good
Clearly the 'finished' car is a different model - the inside of the right hand door is obviously original and not the replacement made in the video! Nice try but ultimately disappointing

I'm afraid you are wrong about the inside of the right hand door. I could agree other arguments, but the inside of the right hand door is exactly as it was reconstructed
It is a bit amusing how every single video you have ever done is sprayed with the exact same mud spray.

@@jimmccormick6091I apologize in advanced, for this lengthy post but I think it’s important to know. first off, the only things that should show rust is the screws keeping this thing together, but even that is doubtful, because the area the screws were found was still an untouched pretty red paint. Is it any wonder he didn’t display the screws in the disassembly assortment? The material the actual body of the car wouldn’t and couldn’t rust because it’s made of a pot metal called zamac which an alloy of soft metals mixed with zinc and magnesium, etc. Soft metals don’t rust they patina, and this zamac, although will show signs of pitting, again, will not rust. It oxidizes. Showing stubborn hard powdering that’s virtually hard to get rid of without sanding, scouring and plating, even then pitting is still obvious before body filler and paint. But a restore such as this alleged one, need to be plated with zinc, copper, or chrome to help stop further oxidation and cover any further pits. Also, this isn’t an old car nor is it a collectible, per se. This is what’s called a “manufactured collectible”. Where the only thing making this a collectible is the words on the package, though no where near worth more than what it originally paid for. No matter the age. For example: if you bought this particular collectible for $20 its price, at best, will either stay the same or go up between $1 to $5, depending on how old it’d be. That’s a big “IF”, too. Because this car would have to be 100 years old to get any where near the $1 to $5 profit range. Because items that say “Collectible” on them aren’t rare. Hence the name, “Manufactured collectible”. That’s why you’d see such a low profit increase in them after a century because they may not be as common, but they wouldn’t be rare. Real collectibles never have this word on them or their packaging.

Fantastic revival job! The grille looked very poorly when you removed it, how did you get a replacement or make one, it was perfect! Well done.
Excellent job! One thing drew my attention was that, I would have thought it would be a right hand steering vs the left being of European design.

MI prgunta es, se compran autos para romperlos dejarlos olvidados para de mostrar que?
Such tiny lemons 😄🍋🍋🍋
I like the poor man's lathe.
At 2:6 you can clearly see the brand (Bburago) on the underside of the interior. Car is still available new, and not worth more than $20-$30.
No Burago model is worth 2 grand. They're more like toys for kiddies

Some old models, box in mint conditions and never used nor opened, actually may be worth 250-400€ (300-470$). SURELY no-one will worth more than that unless it's signed by Senna, Schumacher, Ferrari himself, or other big champions, preferably dead.
Muy buena restauración, quizás la palanca de cambios está un poco fuera de escala se ve grande ,por lo demás un muy buen trabajo.
so much trouble for a model you can buy new at the toy store for 18€
Where do you find those vehicles or toys?
Anybody who has or collects diecast does not treat them like this! That’s a lot of work just for content…
Why do you scrub with the smallest and softest brush available? Wouldn’t it be better to use a toothbrush?
I've got this model too, and no way is it worth $2000.
Bad channel. Bad model. Scam...!

I modeling missing or damaged parts in 3D max using the reference so that all contours are visible, and cut them out of PVC. Watch out my Escalade restoration - you'll like it!
Needed longer video.

Amazing how they keep finding things with rusted plastic and alloy🙄
Jesus, the box in my loft is worth more than the house it's sitting over. $2000? bollocks it is.
c'è un bel pò di "falso" nel restauro
I have the same like new in my showcase in France since the 70' ... But 900 dollars you are kidding or y sell it now !!! ...🙂
I mean, I paid 2k for my real car that I drive every day (well 2.2k)...so this is not even remotely close to being worth that much
What a brilliant job, it beats me how you have the patience for doing this, i noticed the shut lines on the bonnet anc boot very perfect before the restoration, the other thing I noticed was the top of the can of your paint stripper needs the same attension, great job and great video.
Have you not thought about using heat fusion on the small parts i.E using a battery the same principle as they use on vehicles panels spot welding
What was with the butterfly???
how did you come up with $2000? No chance of that, maybe $20 tops
I have one I customize Mine

The actual rust on these diecast models has to play into question. I have seen damage to a lot of them, but rust? Secondly the title is a bit of a falsehood. $1 is a possible price for an intact but damaged die cast car ... turning it into a pristine die cast car worth $2000 would take gold plating ... not cleaning and paint.
All that work for a cheesy Burago. Just go buy one for $29.95.
