WHICH IS MADE BY NOMURA
HAVING HUNDREDS (REALLY THOUSANDS) OF MODEL
S
TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 90% 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 COOL, FULLY TIN OPEL IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE.

THIS OPEL IS A TAD OVER 6 INCHES (16CM) IN LENGTH AND IS ABOUT 3 1/4 INCHES (8.5CM) WIDE.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE NO RUST, CORROSION, DINGS, DENTS, CREASES FOUND ANYWHERE ON THE BODY, CHASSIS OR IN THE FULLY TIN BATTERY COMPARTMENT. YOU HAVE NO TARNISH ANYWHERE AS YOU HAVE NO CHROME!
THE TIN LITHOGRAPHY IS STILL SHARP AND THE "GOLDEN" PAINT IS IN VERY GOOD OVERALL SHAPE WITH ONLY A FEW SHALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES FOUND ON IT'S BODY. THE BLACK TIN ROOF IS STILL FACTORY ATTACHED AND IN SHOWCASE CONDITION/SHAPE.
YOU HAVE DUAL RED PLASTIC HORNS AND LANTERNS AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE LANTERN LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A STRESS CRACK ON IT. AS I DO NOT SEE THIS CRACK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE LANTERN.
THE DASHBOARD HAS NICE LITHOGRAPHY OF IT'S GAUGES.
DECADES AGO, MY DAD WORKED FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC AND THIS NOMURA WAS ONE OF HIS HOME COMING GIFTS FROM A TOY SHOW WHICH RECENTLY ENDED IN THE CITY (BACK IN MID 1970'S).
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC MODEL TO OPERATE. YOU FIRST LOCATE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT ON THE CHASSIS AND INSERT THE ONE (1) SIZE "D" BATTERY (NOT INCLUDED). THIS MODEL CAR USES TIN AND PLASTIC IN IT'S CONSTRUCTION. THE BATTERY COMPARTMENTS DOOR IS MADE OF TIN AND TO THIS DAY, LOOKS NEW AND HAS NO ISSUES AS DO BOTH OF THE BATTERY CONTACTS.
THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (KEEPING IN MIND THAT THIS IS A RHD VEHICLE) CHASSIS.
YOU CAN NOT STEER THIS MODEL, IT IS DESIGNED TO RUN UNDER IT'S BUMP'N GO DISC.
I HAVE ONLY ONE OF THESE "GOLDEN AUTO SERIES" FROM NOMURA, SO THAT MAKES THIS A ONE-OF-A-KIND OFFERING!
I WILL NEVER SAY TO ANYONE THAT "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND WILL BE SOLD AS IS" NOR WILL I EVER LIST THE WORDS "I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO I CAN NOT TEST THE CLOCKWORK (OR WIND-UP) MECHANISM, ACCORDINGLY, THIS ITEM IS SOLD
UNTESTED
AND AS IS". COME ON NOW ... HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO ADD BATTERIES OR TO WIND UP A TOY? I TEST ALL OF MY LISTINGS (IF APPLICABLE), TWICE! ONCE, WHEN I OPT TO LIST IT AND AGAIN PRIOR TO ME SENDING IT OFF. THIS WAY WE BOTH KNOW THAT YOU WILL HAVE NO ISSUES WITH ANYTHING THAT YOU BUY FROM ME. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL DO THINGS AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE DONE THINGS HERE ON E-BAY!
AND AS I JUST MENTIONED, THIS NOMURA OPEL IS FULLY TESTED AND RUNS AS IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH NO ISSUES. ALL OF THE FEATURES WORK AS DESIGNED AND WITHOUT ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS BABY LOOK PRETTY, IT WORKS DAMN WELL FOR ANY AGE MODEL, LET ALONE ONE THAT'S CLOSE TO A HALF OF A CENTURY OLD!
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. PLEASE REVIEW MY PICTURES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOXES OVERALL CONDITION.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A TOP/RATED GOLD P-Seller WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "
PORSCHE DESIGN
" ITEMS/ACCESSORIES.... NOW I AM A TOP RATED ON THIS STORE AS WELL!!
I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH E-BAY AND PAYPAL. THIS NOMURA OPEL WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND IT SHALL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS FOLKS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". SO IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS WORK FOR ALL, WHILE AFFORDING ME, THE SHIPPER, SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION, I HAVE OPTED TO GIVE EBAY'S GSP A GO.
AS SUCH, PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO "NOT" CALCULATE NOR REQUEST ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR "IMPORT FEE'S OR DUTIES".
