UNBOXING MY CHILDHOOD NASCAR COLLECTION 

My best guess with the “Carolina Kid” after some googling... it was a car and scheme made just for that toy manufacturer, an actual stock car or “Carolina Kid” doesn’t exist. But it has a 24 on it, and young David was clearly a Gordon fan. Also fun fact... I had two of the Mike Wallace Spam cars. One of them went missing and I found it after my dog decided to make it a chew toy, so it turned into a crashed edition. Mike Wallace didn’t finish many of my races following that.

All those scratches. These cars were properly used. I still feel uncomfortable about the cars I've bought but haven't taken out of the box. 1/64s should see track time.

So cool man!!! Every kid who had Nascar diecasts, left behind a legacy on them. every scratch, every blemish, tells a story. I’m proud to grow up with the good stuff!!

I wish I was around during the 90s. NASCAR seemed to be a much bigger business back then. Nice cars!

FYI. The last minute or so of footage got corrupted so it looks bad and I couldn't reedit the footage because I couldn't open the footage back up. The rest of the video is good though.

My best memories were when we (my brother and I) would take our massive matchbox collections out back to our trampoline, lay them out in the middle and choose cars and proceed to drive them around the outside of the trampoline like it was one giant track. He picked the cool, funky cars but for me I always stuck to my NASCAR die casts. Traditionally I played with a Jeff Gordon brilliant flames blue and red car. we would always color on our cars to make them look cooler but that 24 car never saw any of that nonsense. the roof is still scratched from some treacherous accident it got into on pavement somewhere. I have a Vickers #25 that still has a ton of window tinting on it and a lot of 43 cars from cereal boxes. I miss those days. I still have them all. I'm 18 now, my brother is 20. all the cars are in a giant box in the basement, but my 24 car and it's many counterparts, as I had other Gordon cars join the wealth, sit neatly back at home (I'm at college) in my (much more professional) Gordon Collection. Meanwhile, 2016 and 2017 die casts of Chase Elliotts cars are now becoming a hobby for me to collect and I watch them accumulate neatly on my shelf in my dorm and I think "huh, I guess I'm still at it." I may not be too old, but the nostalgia is real rn.

Here in Brazil was very impossible to find nascar diecast. My childhood collection was raised by generic hot wheels and matchbox cars.

Pretty sure the Lucky Charms car broke the Space-time continuum.

3:58 STOP! YOUR BRINGING BACK MEMORIES I DONT WANNA KNOW ABOUT!

"Dick Trickle" Probably the best name I've ever heard.

i miss when hotweels made indycar and nascar stuff

Your diecast videos got me looking at my own collection. Looking through it I realized I have way too many Jeff Gordon cars... although some of the liveries are aesome. I have his classic Pepsi livery, his Star Wars Episode I livery as well as his Hot Hues livery and my personal favorite, his 2004 livery. Brought back many memories of playing with these cars as a kid. Made me realize that a younger me was not kind to my toys xD.

Very cool video, watching you go through all of those cars and reminding me of the ones i had and seeing some that i had. Keep up the good work!

Good to se someone with a good passion for nascar. I wish my younger years loving nascar was as big as this, because i am from Australia, and Australia never had these.

I had that Mark Martin Taco holder! It's probably in a box under my bed.

The first car my memory was newman flipping at Daytona 2003

Oh man, I had one of those taco holders! I may still have it around somewhere...

Interestingly, I have had all of those at some point! Pretty neat deal. Can't wait to see 'em.

I'm from Georgia and I've had that '96 Olympics diecast almost as long as I've been alive. It's one of my favorites. It was amazing having the dream team, and all the other athletes in Atlanta, and getting a car with an Atlanta Olympics scheme is awesome, and The driver being Dale Earnhardt makes it so much more special.

hope i can get some good cars at auto club on Sunday. ... o and I'm going to the auto club race

I remember I had the Mac Tonight car when I was about 5... that was probably the only Bill Elliott car I had as a kid 😂

Great video. I remember getting cars from cereal boxes too like Elliots, Atwoods, John Andrettis 43, and Richard Petty! McDonald's also had the Bill Elliot ones you got with the meal u could put the decals on. Miss when Nascar was at its peak and everywhere so much

these are the cars that got me into nascar despite me not being born in the 90’s. i would always go back in history and see how nice they looked

22:44 for all of those wondering yes that is kevin harvick's spotter

Who here wants to see David do a big look at all of his NASCAR Authentics cars and look them all over. I think if he did this he should do it in number order.

I remember the Ryan Newman Alltel car when i went to either Target or Walmart in 2006

I love how detailed they are

Oh how I love them rubber tires. Probably the one thing I wish all standard cars had instead of plastic.

The store in Greenwood Park Mall was Thunder Alley Racing. I always think about it when I walk through there

Lucky! Those cars are so cool!

i just opened all mine out the boxes their about 60 of them from the 90s it felt so right to take them out so i ordered some special cases with foam so now im waiting on that im going to order the stp one you got and the tide those i dnt have and their very nice

I have a grand majority of these. Great diecast!

I Have David Greens Car so it all started when me and my family decided to stop by a flea market and i was looking and i found this car along with kenny schraders 36 pedigree car but thats a story for another day david ur videos are awesome and i subscribed liked and hit the bell notifacations thanks for inspiration dude

I remember as a kid getting a set of 6-10 cars in a set it was really cool seeing models of the very same cars I would see on the track or even play with in NASCAR Racing and NASCAR Racing 2 how many of you guys played that game. still to me among the best NASCAR games around the damage was realistic and no weird Ally/enemy stuff that is realistic but I wish it could be turned off when not wanted some cars I had are well played with having a lot of scratches I would try to pretend I had a oval track and do short races wish I had a real little oval track that would make such a cool display my choice would be Martinsville a track I always did well in in the games I played and not to mention it takes up less space

cool colection!

Cool cars I remember ! 😃

Nice seizure at the end.

You need to start a stop motion series with these cars.

3:20 - That is a different team with Cat sponsorship before the more recognizable Bill Davis Racing entries. This David Green entry was fielded by Buz McCall's American Equipment Racing, better known for before being the Chevy factory team in Trans-Am in the early '90s with Scott Sharp, Jack Baldwin, Pruett (each won titles) and others.

The #96 just likes to make #3 refrences

I have the same Dale Earnhardt 1996 Olympic games car and not even out of the box!

Very nice man

#36 Stanley is Todd Bodine Busch Series car, team was Cicci-Welliver racing.

First Union is still around, they changed their name to Wells Fargo. and awesome collection !

I actually have the exact same Phil Parsons 99 Luxare Chevy.

Yo ur childhood was legendary

The memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lot of the same cars too!

i had the same carrier you have, and i used to have a SHIT TON of those cars... especially from the early 2000s- ~2006. I got rid of them before 2010, but somehow when i clean my room i still manage to find 1 or 2.... they just never stop showing up.

I have that same exact Bill Elliott 9 Dodge right out of the cereal box. Have the Tony Stewart car as well and a bunch of others where the body comes off.

this video gets me tearing up, I may be younger, but I was able to get quite a few of these kinds of diecast, still got a couple sealed and plenty in my collection

true fans like me watch it in 360p

I wish I was more into NASCAR when I was a little kid back in the early to mid 2000s. I used to have the 97 sharpie “win $1,000,000” car, it was literally my favorite toy car when I was little, no idea what happened to it.

When I was 6 I fell in love with nascar but there was something about Jimmie Johnson that just inspired me and here I am today at ten years old still I love with nascar

I like this video because all the stories

Todd Bodine drove the Stanley 36, the Lowe's car is an Action Promo. The Rudd Iron Man was the Action Total Concept version. The Carolina Kid car was interestingly the only Buick Lesabre that was made in diecast form. The Salsa sponsor was Tanya Tucker Salsa which was endorsed by the country music singer.

Ok I'm sorry Daytooooooooonaaaaaaa

Lots of races as a kid, i had earnhardt, gordon, martin and rudd up front in my races.

37:08 I'm nearly positive that I got an Austin Dillon Camaro back in like 2012 from the "Life" cereal. It winds up when you pull it back and even has stickers to go on advertising RCR and the 3 car.

You have finally have gotten my sub

wooooo lets go dale jr

I love old cars

Came here for number 3 rest in piece

my friend found one of the cereal box dodges behind his couch in his condo in daytona and it was so beat up you could only tell it was kyle petty by the 45 on the back bumper

I have a Dale Jr 2017 final ride in the box. Hoping in a few years i can get a good chunk of change for it.

The Stanley 36 was a Todd Bodine car. Still have one of those!

Let's see, I have the Trickle Heilig-Meyers, the Dale 25th Anniversary or whatever the car was, and quite a few others. I didn't grow up in the nineties but my second-grade teacher had a "prize box" full of these old diecasts (the Trickle, Cope's Skittles, Elliott McDonald's, etc) and I got as many as I could. Missed out on a Bodine 75 Factory Stores and a 29 Cartoon Network one, and I still need to pick up that Bodine QVC, but I got so many from that box haha. I do regret being ignorant as a kid and completely beating up my diecasts while racing them, but then again I had fun lol

Love it

It’s funny how far Racing Champions came from their old cars to the 2000s. I have some from the early 90s that, while cool, are nowhere near accurate.

Dude! I'm gonna do this too Have a very similar collection (I'm 29, so most of my collection is 1992-2004)

the old rainbow warrior

I had the 43 Lucky Charms cereal box car but I lost it in a lake

next can you do a room tour of your full entire nascar collection

ah man you got some great ones there I have a number of this type car I was and still am looking to go from 1-99 with NASCAR cars by number having 1 car or more per number

That #36 M&M's Car Is Remembered For A Not So Good Reason

29:12 - The salsa logo is for a brand involving country singer Tanya Tucker. Her name is in the silver ribbon of the logo.

that #36 ken shrader car was one if the first diecast in my collection

Cool

5:04 holy shit i had to go check my stash lol. My DJ 18 car is just like that except its a NY Giants helmet on the hood.

I like those

i had the number 6 valvoline car, along with the interstate battery car and much more

I did the trading post at my school

The 36 Stanley car was driven by Todd Bodine. The signature on the door says "Todd." You can Google his signature for confirmation. The 75 Cartoon Network car was driven by Wally Dallenbach. The 46 was not teammates with the 13 of Nadeau. It was teammates to the 40 and 42 cars. The 13 was co-owned by Bill Elliott and Dan Marino and was technically teammates with Bill Elliott's McDonald's 94 car.

wow didnt know anyone else had the 96 cat car

NASCAR was a huge part of my childhood.

the 36 car was Kenny Shrater who crashed with Dale Earnhardt Sr. when he died

I still have the taco holder. I even have a Matt Kenseth one too

As a Dale Earnhardt fan you better have the intimadators car NASCAR's greatest driver ever

27:31 I had that exact Kyle Petty car until I lost it at my old beach house on vacation, then we changed beach houses and then I never saw it again I always say “bruh” when I look back at what happened to it 😑😑😑😑

Bruh! The Dale Earnhardt Olympic car is also what i HAVE

I subscribed

cool

I still have an original Jeff Gordon car with "Rookie of the Year 1993" on the trunk

I remember this coming out 3 years ago

45 cars in the box

I have the 88 tribute car. I am a huge race fan because of the ernheart family

A lot of those cars I also still have.....but very little if any chipped paint

I still have my old 98' dale earnhardt car and the old micro machine nascars.

and the yellow and blue #16 ford had alot of play time in the 1990's and 2000's when you play hard-core

In my collection i have inly Ford Fusion , Chevy SS , Chevy Zl1 and New Toyota Camry!

Early Winner’s Circle seemed to have used the thunderbird body for ALL their cars
