My thoughts exactly ! I have a collection of these Burago toys in their original boxes I have no use for. Anybody willing to pay 2000 can have them all !!!! (about 20 cars). But they are Burago and cheap ..... Try Schuco cars from the early 50's 60's - masterpieces all in metral and with German precision. Expensive when new even back then. Beautiful replicas of 60's F1 cars with suspension steering detailed engines etc. Great for a lucky young kid.

He probably makes 2000 from the video so that might be what he means..

These models are often sold in kit form so disassembly is simple. The clever bit is aging it in the first place, no, scratch that, the clever bit is making money out of a phoney restoration of a ‘valuable’ model.

Yes, I was thinking of precisely the same question - how much did it cost to restore this car and how much does it cost to simply buy a new one ? If a new one is still available, then of course it makes sense to simply buy a new one. But if this car is no longer in production, then all the effort to restore it will be worthwhile if this is a much sought after collector's dream piece where enthusiasts are willing to pay good money for it. Otherwise, that comment regarding making $2000 from KZfaq makes an awful lot of sense. If this video is commendable, you should watch another video where a bunch of Vietnamese guys used an engine from an old Toyota to build a brand new drive-able Ferrari look-alike. Search for "Building a supercar from an old Toyota" and you should see the video.

@@team3383 Just what you say... I do have a lot of these Burago Cars... waiting in the Attic of my Parents... the cost were around 20-30 DM back than... but this stupid 900$ ClickBait is not worth the good Video... very sad. And just as you said... I do own a Schuco F1 Lotus... in Black / Gold (John Pla*er Special Sponsoring). I like to add, that it do have a Spring Engine, so that it actually could drive on it own... Yeah... I think I was one lucky Kid in the 70's and loved my older Cousin for gifting me that car for Christmas.

Cool idea

My Lledo collection oxidised under the paint.

The plastic atoms mix with the zinc at...no ...wait..that's how they reproduce...ummmm that's a toughie lol

They sit in a bucket of rusted nails.😂

@@Dan-hk3ge knew it was some type of process lmao 😂

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

Exactly what I was thinking

Oh, just run vid backward?

@@jpkatz1435

True but also $900 my ass.

I own exact this model in a good orginal condition. anyone here wants to buy it for, lets say 1200€ ? I really doubt.

@@LeChuck652 I'M TOTALLY AGREE

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

@@townstar1 It isn't a CMC - note the bonnet hinges.

@@-triumphgt667 I said "If", I know that´s a Burago.

That is what I really wanted to see! Still interesting work and great camera work.

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

@@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.

@@jimmccormick6091 Correction... at 10 dollars each,

THANK YOU

Fr, it isn't so hard to find play worn diecasts.

and for sale at 59.90 USD ...

No.

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.

Thanks and welcome

Thanks! You too!

Hes an artist alright😂😂😂😂 A CON ARTIST

Thanks!
