- Come along for a tour of the latest vintage cars I have added to my 50,000 car collection... these beautiful perfectly proportioned 1/64 scale diecast metal cars were made by Ertl between the years of 2000 and 2001... that was a while ago now! They all feature rubber tires, solid metal construction, realistic details, engines, opening hoods and trunks, and a host of other details not commonly found on this size of collectible car.

Ertl makes the finest classic cars in diecast IMHO. Opening trunk and hoods are what puts them above the rest. Separate details on the undersides are just a bonus!
This was an awesome series , i pick them up whenever i can find them. The "new" racing champions '65 GTO is actually one of these castings - still has ERTL on the chassis. Really hoping RC brings all of them back for us.
I've heard of ERTL before, but this is probably the first time i've seen these up close.
These cars have incredible details for the price they cost.
Great presentation, although i don't know why the picture gets so much distortion throughout the close-ups.I almost thought someone put some curious substances in my beverage :) But this was great to watch overall.
I had a couple of ERTL models when I was younger...a lot of detail....damn so much detail on a 1/64....I know these cars cost a arm and a leg...30 to possibly a 100 dollars....depending on the make and model....probably even more on E bay and Amazon...I like the information on the cards...I am a muscle head ...especially when it comes to GM makes and models from the 50's to the 80's....thanks for sharing those incredible diecast cars!
Thanks for the comment! The old Ertls have definitely held their value, and more!
The impala has a 409 in it. You can tell by the shape of the heads and valve covers. Awesome! The Plymouth belvedere Christine is spectacular! All are very well done. Excellent video!
Awesome collection! Best Diecast channel on youtube, hands down.
Thank you so much, what a compliment!

What a stunning presentation of 1:64 scale die cast awesomeness! Ertl Collectibles shows what is possible in this scale at an affordable price point and most of all, amazing loose cars! My favorite of this video was the '65 Pontiac GTO hands down :-)
A lot of great stuff out right now in the 64 scale, if only m2 and auto world would license some imports, they'd skyrocket to the next level

Mate, those are really incredible castings. I was thinking about how difficult some of those shapes must have been to cast. I am blown away by the details and number of parts. The use of the plastic head-light and tail-light pieces was amazing. Being a bit of a cardboard collector, I loved the vintage card art and info. Thanks for putting together this video for us to see = )
The more I watched these detailed American Classic cars the more I think of Racing Champions Mint series! I will hunting for them!
Very cool. I hope we see more of these castings reused in the new Racing Champions Mint line like the 65 GTO.
that was my favorite of this video for sure!
Awesome collection, never knew how much detail these 1:64 have, I collect 1:18 ,but this has given me much greater appreciation for the smaller scale. They are at the fraction of the price. I purchased quite a few as of recent from Costco for $14, where as they run $20+ at other retailers. Super nice collections. Very nice setup in the basement for sure. I myself is 53yrs old and will continue collecting till the end.
Thanks for sharing...
Those are awesome. Love old American muscle cars👍
Really cool models! Nowadays, Ertl seems to specalize in farm and construction vehicles, as well as big trucks. I'm that collector who likes to have a bit of everything, from modern supercars/hypercars to old school American muscle to old trucks to new trucks and so on. I got to know and appreciate a number of vehicles through this hobby. I always keep an eye out for interesting stuff!
1/64 AM series was Ertl's last hail mary to save themselves. Too much, too late for what was once a great diecast company. Sad, but we're left with a line of the best 1/64 diecast produced up to that date (IMO Castline picked up where Ertl left off). For me the star of that lineup was the '60 Starliner in blue/white. Look carefully at the top: It's a one-piece clear plastic mold that was then taped and vacu-form chromed at the pillars and *then* painted white over the roof. Its integration into the diecast body is seamless. Just an incredible bit of engineering at that scale; I wish someone could get an interview with the designers of the AM line.
Anyway, thank you for exposing these cars to more collectors. It's almost criminal how underappreciated they are.
I feel like revisiting this collection of castings after reading your observations on the quality... it truly was a beautiful run of scale cars. I also like M2 castline, they are doing a nice job with opening parts and chrome trim on their models.
Retrospective videos would be an interesting idea, revisiting old car lines covered in your older videos with a current perspective on the cars. Could be a good filler for when it's a dry video season too. @@wtffor
I love these cars, I have only found 7, but its great to see the ones I dont have, thanks.
Terrific castings, all so detailed and fiddlesome. The 61 impala and the 65 gto were my favourite, but the thunderbolt really got my imagination. Thanks for putting together this great video.
Those are beauties, thanks for sharing.
nice to find someone with the same interest
Congratulations on this EBay FIND! WOW! I would love to know what something like that collection cost for an idea to start off a nice collection. Again Congrats!
hey enjoy your videos especially the one with your old neighbors collection not much into 1/64 but appreciate your hobby 50000 that's quite a collection
Not sure how I missed this video from years ago those AMC are some of the best 1/64 that represents muscle damn bro you go hard my favorite thunder bolts
You said or in your description you put down that you had a 65 ford galaxie and I watched your video and didn't see any 65 ford galaxie! The 1965 ford galaxie 500 XL it's a super rare casting to find in any size that's the only reason that I watch your video! Thanks for the video!
Amazing muscle cars.
Nice job 😊😊😊
You're enthusiasm for the small cars is contagious. I have to stop watching your channel, because if I don't, I'm going to buy a whole bunch of cars and I just don't have the means to do that right now.
You can do a lot with not much money. I buy lots of cars all the time 20-30 cars for $15 or so.
Take notes kiddys tease are the hidden gems only found buy a skilled eBay picker lol . IF there is such a thing lol. Awesome score O-Dawg .Tease Ertl cars are super nice . Super happy with the realistic new era cars . M2, Green light , Auto World so on . I just hope they come out with new Highly Realistic castings . Yes we love Camaro , Challengers, GTOs , . I think the car scene and normal car buying has gone away from American cars . Let's see Highly Realistic , BMW M3, let's see Subaru WRX, EVOs, Hondas , 60s70s era Japanese, European cars that we all own or have owned. Take diecast into the next generation with Highly Detailed modes not that bubble gum cartoon mid 2000s stuff. Sorry for the book hope this reaches someone lol . Thanks for more great content O_Dawg
A daily drivers series (regular cars that everyone owns or relates to) would be great for diorama makers (a street would look more realistic with Honda Accords and Toyota camrys than it would with Mustangs and Camaros)
I see quite a few castings that have been made by other brands, but these seem to be the best. The beveldree is cursed
Shaweet!! Thanks for another great video. I still have the green 69 mustang fast back which is still one of the most detailed cars I have.
Hi mr wtffor, i really enjoy your videos but this one particullary its my favorite of all, as collectionist of m2 machines products i like the plastic head or tail lights in 1/64 scale models, thats the reason of my coment, these ertl models are great, i cant pick one as favorite because all of them are awesome, i will start collect them, thank you for share your fancy cars
Thank you! And good luck collecting the Ertl cars - happy hunting!
+wtffor my favorite was the first car the 71 Dodge
I believe the 1969 Chevy Nova was available with a big block 396 and a 4 speed, I didn't see that option on the card, only reason I say this, is my Dad have one, when he was a young man.
What a cool car to have too! There probably were too many options to fit all of them onto the card that came with this model...
wow 4.99 original price wow these are nice
Agreed the mirrors are a little clunky looking
I've been watching a lot of greenlight openings on other channels and they have been having a lot of issues with the castons being broken and stuff.. I don't know what's going on with green light
nice cars huh
looks like plymouth has some quality control
The blue Nova was missing the bottom part of the engine or transmission.
very nice, but those side view mirrors...
awesome video man
Thank you!
your welcome. By chance do you know how many hotwheels you have?
QC was lacking the day they made the Belvederes.
thank you so much for telling me
cool
have you seen the movie Christine? if you have seen it, do you like the car christine?
Yes, I have seen Christine, and I do like the car very much. The worst part of the movie is seeing the car get smashed by the hooligans in the garage before it comes to life and takes them down.
You should send all your toys and diecast to heaven like I did so they can last forever and not get destroyed all you need is a spell-caster
your welcome
looks like all american muscle has battery in trunk .didnot see it under hood
that plymouth is christine after all lol
Stabilizier works realy good, but realy goofie
can you do the dukes with the cop cars
can you do a review on dukes of Hazzard
Yes, he's showed bits and pieces, but a dedicated video on his Dukes would be awesome.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will add it to my list, a Dukes video would be great I agree!
The blue nova has a missing motor on the bottom
6:29
Yes, I saw that too...but only after I uploaded the video. Factory error apparently.
Will you ever sell some??
Perhaps one day, I hear RUclips may start offering online stores for creators such as myself... only time will tell!
