I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED OR HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST
5
DECADES!
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. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS SSS, INT'L TIN RAMBLING ROADSTER CAR
IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS
TIN
RAMBLING ROADSTER
IS IN GOOD TO EXCELLENT COSMETIC SHAPE/CONDITION WITH A SHINY DEEP CREAM FINISH AND A NICE RED INTERIOR WITH COLOR MATCHING CREAM RUNNING BOARDS.
THE CAR ITSELF IS IN ALL AROUND VERY GOOD CONDITION. YOU DO HAVE SOME SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS ON THE FINISH AS THESE ARE LEFT OVERS FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.... OR TRACES OF BEING MANUFACTURED AS SOME WOULD CALL IT.
THIS CAR IS MADE FULLY OF TIN WITH THE ONLY ITEMS NOT MADE OF TIN ARE THE TIRES, THE STICK SHIFT KNOB AND THE ORIGINAL CLEAR WINDSHIELD!
YOU HAVE NO DENTS, DINGS, RUST, CORROSION OR CREASES ON THE BODY. THE WINDSHIELD IS DESIGNED TO COLLAPSE AND THIS WORKS PERFECTLY. THE PLASTIC WINDSHIELD IS ORIGINAL AND ONCE AGAIN, IN PERFECT SHAPE.
THE INTERIOR IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH A NICE TIN LITHOGRAPHY GREEN DASHBOARD.
THE CHASSIS IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION AS WELL AND SHOWS EVEN BETTER THEN THE BODY! THIS TOO IS MADE OF TIN AND HAS ALMOST NO SIGNS OF WEAR OR USAGE.
THE WHEELS ARE ALSO MADE OF TIN AND THE TIRES ARE A SEMI-PLIABLE RUBBER WITH NO CRACKS, SPLITS, DRY-ROT OR ISSUES AT ALL. THE FRONT WHEELS SPIN FREELY AND TOGETHER. THE REAR WHEELS ARE CONNECTED TO THE STRONG FRICTION POWERED DRIVE AND SPIN IN UNISON.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS
RAMBLING ROADSTER CAR IS NOT BEING REPRESENTED AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). IT HAS BEEN PLAYED WITH, BUT, IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY.
THIS
RAMBLING ROADSTER
CAR
IS A GOOD SIZE AND MEASURES OUT AT AROUND 10 INCHES (25.5CM) AND IS JUST ABOUT 4 INCHES WIDE (10CM).
THIS COOL
RAMBLING ROADSTER ALSO HAS A FULLY FUNCTIONING HORN AS WELL. THIS IS LOCATED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE EXTERIOR SECTION OF THE FRONT DOOR. IT HAS A TIN "RED" HORN BALL FOR LOOKS THAT YOU PUSH DOWNWARDS (TOWARDS THE FLOORBOARD) AND THIS FORCES THE AIR OUT OF THE ORIGINAL BELLOW. IT HAS THAT VINTAGE HORN SOUND!
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN ALL AROUND VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR GLUE FOUND (OR USED) ANYWHERE. THE COLORS STILL POP NICELY AND THE COPY AND PICTURES ARE STILL CLEAR.
YOU DO HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF SHELF WEAR ON THE LID AND A SMALL TEAR DOES APPEAR ON ONE OF THE BOXES SMALLER SIDES. BOTH THE LID AND THE BASE HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL EIGHT (8) STAPLES (16 IN TOTAL) HOLDING THEM FIRMLY TOGETHER. ON ONE OF THE SMALLER END FLAPS YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL PRICE/STICKER OF "1.67". THE BOX DOES DISPLAY VERY AND IS PICTURED.
THE FRICTION DRIVE IS STRONG AND POWERFUL AND DOES NOT SKIP A BEAT!
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS SSS INT'L
RAMBLING ROADSTER CAR
IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
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. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT 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!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE 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!
