Runs on 3 "D"-size batteries, but this has not been tested. Presumably, it does not work, but appears complete looking inside lower wheels for wires and bulbs.
Original bulbs may or may not work, I do not know. If you would like me to check something, I will do my best to inspect and report. Double patent numbers on bottom 70819 and 67160. This 1960's Indy-style racer car features "Bump-n-Go" action with engine noise and flashing lights! If it becomes operational, this is an amazing piece at an amazing price!
It measures 18" long, about 7" wide and roughly 6 tall at driver's head. I have included several pictures from all angles to showcase this piece. I can provide many more pics or specific details at your request. The item "Modern Toys MASUDAYA Japan Tin Battery-Operated Red Race Car CHAMPION RACER 301" is in sale since Tuesday, July 18, 2017.
