I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5
+
DECADES! WHAT I DID BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WAS TO TEST THESE NEW ADDITIONS, MESS AROUND WITH THEM, REMOVE THE BATTERIES (IF
APPLICABLE
) AND STACK THEM UP IN A FEW OF MY CLOSETS IN MY PARENTS HOME. I THEN MOVED ON TO MY NEXT PROJECT!
I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MY DAD WORK FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC BACK IN THE 50'S THROUGH THE '90'S. THIS MODEL HERE WAS BROUGHT HOME AFTER ONE OF HIS MANY "TABLE-TOP" SHOWS IN NYC.
HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 9
5
% 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, ALL PURPOSE JEEP
IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS MODEL
HAS TWO WAYS TO BE PLAYED WITH! FIRST, YOU SIMPLY PLACE TWO (2) "C" BATTERIES INTO THE RADAR CASE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE JEEP. NEXT YOU HAVE TO PLACE THE "MYSTERY ACTION", MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE BUMP'N GO ACTION DRIVE ONTO THE CHASSIS. HERE YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A RECEIVER SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THIS DRIVE. THIS DRIVE, SIMPLY SLIDES INTO THIS RECEIVER.
NOW ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO POWER THIS BABY UP AND OFF IT GOES!! AS WITH ALL "MYSTERY DRIVE" MODELS, YOU NEED TO PLACE THIS DOWN ON A FIRM AND LEVEL SURFACE TO HAVE IT PROPERLY OPERATE.
HERE YOU HAVE TO USE CAUTION WHEN PLACING THIS JEEP DOWN ON THE GROUND WITH THIS DRIVE IN PLACE AS IT DOES NOT "LOCK-IN" TO THE RECEIVER (NOR HAS IT BEEN DESIGNED TO DO SO).
NEXT WE HAVE THE OPTION TO REMOVE THIS BATTERY OPERATED DRIVE AND WHEN THIS PIECE IS REMOVED FROM THE CHASSIS IT NOW BECOMES A HAND TOY (LIKE A TONKA) WHICH IS POWERED BY ONES HAND AND IMAGINATION.
THE THEME OF THIS JEEP IS THAT OF A FIRE DEPARTMENT AND YOU HAVE A SMALL SHEET OF ORIGINAL STICKERS (DECALS) WHICH ONE CAN APPLY ONTO THIS JEEP (TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL).
THE
BODY OF THIS JEEP
IS A NICE SOLID RED, WITH THE GREY RADAR SET WITH A TAN STEERING WHEEL AND COLOR MATCHING SEATS. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (MADE OF TIN) COLLAPSES FORWARD, BUT THE EMERGENCY LIGHT PREVENTS IT FROM GOING COMPLETELY FORWARD (BAD DESIGNING ...LOL). ON THE BODY YOU ALSO HAVE AN EMERGENCY LIGHT ON THE HOOD AND A SIREN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FENDER. EVEN THE SPRING ANTENNA AND DRIVER (MADE OF RUBBER) ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL!
ALL OF THE TIRES HAVE NO CRACKS, BLEMISHES, FLAT SPOTS, DRY-ROT OR ISSUES. ALL OF THE OFF-WHITE HUB CAPS ARE ORIGINAL AND ALSO WITHOUT ISSUE.
THE CHASSIS IS MADE OF METAL AND PLASTIC, WITH THE METAL PART/SECTION HOLDING ALL THE ELECTRONICS TO INCLUDE THE ENGINE AND THE "MYSTERY DRIVE". IT ALSO HAS FAR LESS THAN AVERAGE WEAR TO MATCH THE BODY'S OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION.
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS INCLUDED AND IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR GLUE. IN FACT, YOU DO HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERTS! I ALSO TOSSED IN A COUPLE OF SMALL PIECES OF STYROFOAM TO KEEP THE WHEELS OFF THE GROUND WHILE IN STORAGE. THE WINDOW IS ORIGINAL AND HAS NO CREASES OR CRACKS. YOU HAVE CLEAN AND SIMPLE GRAPHICS ON THIS BOX AND IT DOES DISPLAY WELL.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU
EXACT
THE OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE OF THIS JEEP RATHER THAN MY WORDS ABOVE.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT CLAIMING THIS VINTAGE JEEP AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) FOR IT IS NOT! HOWEVER, I AM CLAIMING IT IS AN EXTREMELY RARE MODEL IN ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION WHICH IS FULLY OPERATIONAL AND AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS NEW!
I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE JEEPS IN ANY CONDITION HERE ON EBAY ORR ELSEWHERE.
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 THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THIS IS EXAC
TLY WHAT YOU WILL
BE RECEIVING
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!
THIS VINTAGE, RARE, FULLY WORKING, "ALL PURPOSE JEEP"
IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL
AND OF A TIME THAT HAS PASSED US BY!
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 GOLD T/RATED 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.
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
VINTAGE AND UNIQUE JEEP
WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, I WILL BE PLACING THIS ITEM INTO EBAY’S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN’S WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR NATURE … "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE EBAY’S GSP AS THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM THESE FOLKS.
THIS ITEM MUST BE DECLARED FOR IT’S SELLING PRICE. IT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE AN ITEM FOR .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ATTEMPT TO INSURE IT FOR 0.00! IN ADDITION, VIA THE GSP, THEY (EBAY) AUTOMATICALLY FIGURES OUT THE IMPORT FEE (IF APPLICABLE) AND COLLECTS THIS, SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU......

TO ADD AT LEAST ONE VINTAGE
