MATCHBOX Restoration No. 17c Austin Taxi Cab 1960

Another classic 1-75 series model. This one from 1960 two years before I was born!! Needed a repaint and a fix on the left hand 'A' Pillar. I wanted to be the first to ride in this after the makeover but Kevin managed to jump the queue and beat me to it to the local pub! - One day I shall get one over on him! He also scalded my mouth with boiling water during the making of this video!!

Wonderful start of the weekend with your video!

[@johnlogan9427]

Marty, you do an excellent job on these make overs. My three children, ages 6, 10, and 13, have really been inspired by watching your videos. Every time we go to our local antique stores, they are on the look out for Matchbox cars! I would have never guessed they would be interested in 50-60 year old cars. So far they have not found any, but they aren't giving up.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

John, that is great to hear, thank you for your families support and interest!

[@themichaelvortex4784]

Great makeover Marty! Kevin and his antics never disappoint. 🤣 love the bloopers. Nice editing and green screen. (Exceptional skills.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) Thanks all!👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@raymonde4272]

Superb restoration Marty. I'm so pleased that you refrained from referring to the plug holding the driver as his butt plug.

[@mordeys]

i am sure this has been said many times so add mine to it. i just love reading the tabloid papers in his spray area. so much fun. thank you for them.

[@Juan_Doooh]

Great job as always Marty.

Loved this video! Thanks

[@prashantbirje1419]

nice work on detailing bumper and grill

[@Scrimjer]

That puppet really freaked me out thumbs up

[@SergeantSphynx]

The final red you ended up with looked great, even before it had the gloss varnish on it.

[@sgtzeno]

It's great to see all the bonus items you add: antics by Kevin, subtle jokes, and the outtakes at the end. This is great stuff!

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

Agreed... 😁👍🏼

[@zombygoose]

Is it just me or does anyone else also like to watch and wait to see what this weeks paper has to say and what Kevin has done this time? Marty, you’re a genius to come up with something new every time. Excellent restoration job like always. Looking forward till next time

[@MrTommyboy357]

Beautiful work Marty!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thank you!

[@larryperez4789]

Very nice job Marty,

[@jeannettemorley5872]

Perfect work as usual. That Kevin's got no respect, the little sod....

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

Lovely model,

[@markmeredith158]

Hi Marty, I’m the same vintage as you and grew up in Morwell. I now live in Perth. I was an avid Matchbox Collector and I had 2 complete sets of the 1969, 1970 and 1071 with one set still in the original boxes. When I grew up I put them into locked storage to give to my boys when I had them. Unfortunately being the youngest boy of 6, when my nephews and nieces visited, my Mum would give them my Cars as well as my original GI Joe toys to them. Hence I have none left. When I was playing with the cars when I was younger, I used 1 set for outside and most of that time was spent on the nature strip in front of our house. Next time I go back to Morwell, I’m thinking about hiring a Metal Detector to scan the area we played in as I reckon I would find a few of the old cars. Anyway I love your channel and it brings back many great memories. I still have my boys, early 1990’s cars and will get out of storage.

[@zach_diecast_mansur]

Beautiful

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Zach!

[@folmonty]

Always entertaining and informative. Marty does such a great job on all counts.

[@cathybenson5119]

Nice one, Marty. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@Grundag]

Beautiful job!, Mr. Marty I watched this one twice!

[@faerieSAALE]

Great Job - very nice.

[@od1452]

Wow Marty ! I learn something new every time I watch. "Bare legs Save Lives." If you're interested.. you might try buffing the body with OOOO steel wool for a bit smoother finish. Like that color. Thanks for sharing.

[@l1zrdking]

Had a terrible night, so now I sit down with a cuppa hot chocolate and a Marty video. All is well once more.

[@biggestdaddycoach]

Very informative Marty. Thank you for sharing all your techniques.

[@kevinm3428]

Your humor and reverence for the models is appreciated. Keep up the great work!

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Fantastic restoration , Marty !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jofox1186]

[@michaelhennegan9637]

A master!

[@Remington-T800]

It's always a good day when you post a video. A proper video, that is, not those silly unboxing vids...

[@davidneilson3508]

Very nice restoration 👍👍😊

Nice model I like the old ones 👍❤️that Kevin lol

[@revzillo]

Really nice restoration Marty . Magnificent as always 👍😆

[@bethrappeport9381]

I just love checking out the Daily Star headlines in your paint booth. Keep up the good work! Watching your videos is my favorite way to unwind, especially lately.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Another Crazy Newspaper!!.

[@dragonmaid1360]

That seagull headline made me laugh for ages. Thank you for the hilarity. Also thank you for going into detail with your tools. I will never use these tools but I'm a curious person and I want to know what they are and how they work. So. Thank you. I found it all fascinating.

[@TimeRider]

Very nice!

[@darranhanlon8709]

Those indicator arms are known as semiphores Nice resto Marty 👀👍🏻

[@daverage4729]

Fabulous tip at 6.40....Epic spewing at 6.47. Lol! I don't think Julie will be cleaning that up!

[@jakerademacher4258]

Nicely done, great video, good to see you, Julie and Kevin are doing well,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@alexogle8950]

The Star maintains its journalistic standards in style...

[@peterd7603]

Great job, love the comedy too.

[@bgdavenport]

I love the news update, too! Aussie seagulls must be tough!

[@BadChizzle]

What a sweet little car. Thank you! Marty... if you could kindly mention the channel of Paul Restorer... I’m sure it would help him to grow his situation. He does a great job... while doing some aspects of the hobby you don’t touch on. You know... makes the boxes and casts his own little drivers, wheels as well as various other parts. You two guys make for a great back to back watch! Thank you!

[@davebicker8618]

Indeed. Paul does some very fine work, always an excellent result.

[@martyclack8782]

A work of art Marty. Watch out for Kevin

[@markdobell2677]

Excellent Marty!!! Love It!!

[@pinball30]

Plus two extra points for Kevin

[@jurgenblust2042]

A really nice model! I love the mix of information and entertainment in your videos.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Jurgen that is good to know! :)

[@paulrobinson6168]

Great job Marty, really looks great. Always enjoy your videos, can’t wait for the next one.👍👍

[@johnwilliams2711]

Marty, your vids are more than just excellent restorations. They come with a good story/stories. Your narration of the restoration is already a winner, but you also have great side stories with Kevin and your outtakes. Thanks for all your hard work, watching your videos is the best quality time I get together with my little son. ❤👍

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Oh WOW! Thanks John I certainly appreciate your positive comment! Makes me feel it is all worth it!

[@SuperBadVideos]

Your work always amazes me, beautiful 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@blakerh]

Great job! The color looks nice.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I agree repainting the body the second time was the correct move.. A much better color match!!

[@glorfendell2967]

Great restoration. As a painter myself, getting the color just right can be aggravating. Poor Julie, what she puts up with! Almost like being at a Blue Man group concert lol. Thanks Marty!

[@violentshemp7776]

well done again marty! edit* btw you should have painted that "plug" brown.

[@juliestevens9669]

Gee that Julies a stunner. Even the top of her heads stunning

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Get off Julie stop making comments

[@AnthonyTaylor-bp6jv]

I agree Julie ... Marty, leave her alone (lol)

[@NitrousDiecast]

julie stevens ha ha ha...

[@BigLisaFan]

Looks like a fashion model. She’s a keeper Marty!
