I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS/ITEMS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES AND/OR HAVE COLLECTED ALONG THE WAY.
I HAVE DECIDED TO START SELLING OFF SOME OF MY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE/VINTAGE MODELS, TRAINS, PLANES, BOATS, TOYS, E
TC
.....
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE, VINTAGE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND COMPLETE "STUNT-CAR" IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE.
THE CLEAR WINDOW IS ALL ORIGINAL AS IS THE INSERT.
THE WINDOW ITSELF IS DETACHED IN A COUPLE OF PLACES ON THE INSIDE OF THE BOX. THE GRAPHICS AND PICTURES ARE STILL CLEAR (AS PICTURED) AND THIS BOX DOES DISPLAY VERY NICELY. YOU DO HAVE A TEAR ON THE BOX WHICH HAS BEEN TAPED UP. THIS IS ON THE TOP LOOKING DOWN, TO THE LEFT WHERE YOU FIND "FLIP-OVER". BETWEEN THE "L" AND "I" IN FLIP IS WHERE THIS TEAR LIES. IT'S NOT BAD, BUT I FEEL COMPELLED TO POINT THIS OUT. THE INSERT HAS ALSO BEEN BEEFED UP AND HERE A PAIR OF ELASTIC BANDS HAS BEEN USED.
ONE THING FOR SURE, YOU DO NOT SEE A LOT OF THESE STUNT CARS MODELS/TOYS/ITEMS POP-UP HERE ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE. WHEN THESE DO SHOW UP, THEY ARE TRADITIONALLY SNATCHED UP PRETTY QUICKLY AS THESE ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER DUE TO THEIR RARITY, DESIGN AND QUALITY.
THIS IS A CLOCKWORK (WIND-UP) DRIVEN MODEL AND THIS DRIVE IS LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THIS CAR. THE FRONT WHEELS SPIN IN UNISON AND DO SO FREELY. THE SMALL FIFTH WHEEL STEERS THIS CAR IS A CIRCULAR MOTION. THIS CLOCKWORK DRIVE IS AS STRONG TODAY AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE. YOU HAVE NO SLIPPAGE WITH ANY OF THE ORIGINAL FEATURES WHAT-SO-EVER. THE "FLIP-OVER" MECHANISM ALSO WORKS PERFECTLY AND HAS NO ISSUES. AND YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY INCLUDED.
THIS IS A SECOND GENERATION "STUNT-CAR" AS I HAVE AN ORIGINAL VERSION WHICH HAS A BUILT IN (NON-REMOVABLE) KEY. THE KEY ON THIS MODEL IS REMOVABLE AND THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE THE INDENTION FOR THE RECESSED KEY AS THE FIRST GENERATION MODEL DOES.
ALL FOUR (4) WHEELS ARE MADE FROM RUBBER AND NONE HAVE ANY CRACKS, DRY-ROT OR FLAT SPOTS (AS THESE WERE SAVED BY BEING STORED ON THEIR SIDE WITHIN THE ORIGINAL BOX). THE HUB CAPS ARE TIN AND HAVE NO RUST, CORROSION OR TARNISH. THESE DO HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF FRICTION WEAR FROM USAGE.
THE TIN BODY DOES SHOW SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR FROM BEING PLAYED WITH AS THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A TOY THAT IS NOT BEING REPRESENTED AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS MODEL CAR IS DESIGNED TO "FLIP-OVER" WHICH WILL IN TIME, WILL CAUSE SOME OF THE FINISH TO RUB OFF AND/OR EVENTUALLY WEAR OUT.
ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ON THIS CARS BODY ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY. THIS MEANS THAT YOU HAVE NO ISSUES WITH DECALS BLEEDING THROUGH OR STICKERS FALLING OFF. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL SHARP AND POP REALLY NICELY!
HERE I DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS FOUND HERE.
AS WITH THE CARS BODY, YOU DO HAVE SOME TELL-TALE SIGNS OF USAGE FOUND ON THE CHASSIS! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT REPRESENTING THIS "STUNT CAR" AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), HOWEVER, I AM REPRESENTING THIS "REFUSE TRUCK" AS A PERFECTLY OPERATIONAL AND 100% FUNCTIONING EXAMPLE OF THIS MODEL!
ALL OF THESE ACTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND AS DESIGNED. THE BOX IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION AND CONSIDERING THIS "FLIP-OVER STUNT CAR" IS OLDER THEN A HALF OF A CENTURY .... IT'S A KEEPER!!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS
"STUNT CAR"
WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD AND HAPPY TO OWN THIS MODEL AND WITH JUST A LITTLE
DILIGENCE
EXERCISED YOU WILL GET AS MANY YEARS OF
USE AND PL
EASURE O
UT
OF THIS MODEL/TOY AS I HAVE!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AS THEY BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
