BANDAI TIN MERCEDES 300SL GULLWING WithTETHERED R/C 2ND GENERATION 100% ORIGINAL

  
THIS ATTACHED REMOTE CONTROL TURNS A SINGLE FIFTH (5TH) WHEEL WHICH CONTROLS THE DIRECTION OF THIS MODEL (WITH EASE I MIGHT ADD) VIA THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAS SEPARATE BUTTONS FOR FORWARD AND REVERSE DIRECTIONS. IN ADDITION, THIS BANDAI MERCEDES BENZ 300SL HAS A DESIGNATED "HORN" BUTTON TO OPEN/CLOSE BOTH GULLWINGED DOORS! THIS BUTTON, WHICH IS LOCATED WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL, MAKES THIS THE "NEW AND IMPROVED" OR 2ND GENERATION VERSION. THIS IS BANDAI MODEL NUMBER: 4360. I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES! THIS RARE BANDAI 300SL HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR MORE THEN 4 + DECADES NOW. 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-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 TIN BANDAI BENZ IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! TH IS VINTAGE 300SL BENZ IS IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION AND AS SUCH YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO SEE ANY OBVIOUS FLAWS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, THIS MODEL HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY. THE CHROME PIECES LOCATED THROUGHOUT THIS MODEL STILL HAVE A NICE SHINE TO THEM AND YOU HAVE NO TARNISH ON THE CHROME PIECES/SECTIONS. TH E TIRES ARE VERY CL EAN AND HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS OR CRACKS. THE WHEELS ARE 100% ORIGINAL AS WELL. ALL FOUR (4) TIN HUB CAPS ARE IN SHOWCASE SHAPE/CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES!! THE CHASSIS LOOKS TO BE IN AN UNUSED CONDITION AND SHOWS VERY LITTLE AREAS OF USAGE.

YOU HAVE NO RUST, CORROSION, DENTS OR CREASES. IN FACT, NO RUST APPEARS ANYWHERE AS THIS IS A 100% TIN BODY AND CHASSIS BANDAI MODEL CAR. THE REMO TE CONTROL WORKS EFFORTLESSLY AND THE STEERING IS SHA RP AND RESPONSIVE WITH MINIMUM STRAINING ON THE CABLE. BOTH THE FORWARD AND REVERSE BUTTONS WORK AND WORK EFFORTLESSLY. YOU HAVE NO BREAKS OR RUST ON ANY CONTACTS (AS PICTURED).

IT'S 100% ORIGINAL AND FULLY FUNCTIONING AND SEALS TIGHTLY WITH THE BATTERIES IN PLACE! THE REAR WHEELS DO PROPEL THIS CAR WHILE THE FRONT WHEELS ARE STATIONARY. THE HIDDEN FIFTH WHEEL STEERS THIS CAR AND LIFTS THE FRONT WHEELS OFF OF THE GROUND. BELOW IS A SHORT VIDEO OF THIS EXACT BANDAI MERCEDES BENZ 300SL GULLWING IN ACTION. PLEASE TAKE THE ADDED TIME AND VIEW THIS VIDEO TO SEE JUST HOW NICE OF AN EXAMPLE THIS MODEL REALLY IS.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ABOVE VIDEO, THIS 300SL HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED! 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!

THIS VINTAGE, TIN BANDAI BENZ IS FULLY TESTED (AND WO RKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULL Y 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! TO OPERATE THIS BENZ, YOU FIRST NEED TO PLACE TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENTS HAND HELD REMOTE CONTROL (NOT INCLUDED). AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT! NOW YOU PLACE THIS 300SL DOWN ON ANY LEVEL AND HARD SURFACE.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT PRETTY MUCH ALL MODELS OF THIS ERA WERE NOT DESIGNED WITH CARPETS IN MIND! IN FACT, THE PILE FROM MOST CARPETS WILL ADD CONSIDERABLE STRAIN ON THE DELICATE INTERNAL GEARING, SO PLEASE TRY TO AVOID PLACING THIS MODEL (OR ANY MODEL FOR THAT MATTER) DOWN ON ANY CARPET. NOW WHEN YOU PUSH IN THE GREEN BUTTON, THIS BENZ WILL TAKE OFF GOING IN A FORWARD DIRECTION. THE RED BUTTON WILL HAVE THIS BENZ BACKING UP (OR REVERSING).

THE REALLY COOL AND UNIQUE FEATURE, WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY, IS THAT ON COMMAND, WHEN YOU PUSH THE WHITE CENTER BUTTON WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL (LIKE A HORN BUTTON) THE GULL WINGED DOORS WILL OPEN UP AND THEN CLOSE AGAIN. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS MOTION SO THEIR IS NO NEED FOR TWO (2) BUTTONS... LIKE ONE TO OPEN AND ONE TO CLOSE THE DOORS. EVERYTHING WITH THIS MERCEDES BENZ 300SL IS ORIGINAL AND PERFECTLY WORKING.

YOU HAVE NO DIFFICULTIES IN STEERING THIS VEHICLE. THIS LISTING HAS NO BOX BEING OFFERED. 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!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AND THE EMBEDDED VIDEO AS THESE DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. THE WORDS WRITTEN ABOVE AND BELOW.
