BANDAI, VERY RARE PORSCHE CARRERA With FULLY OPERATIONAL BUMP'N GO ACTION

  

LU FWM = L IGHTLY U SED F ULLY W ORKING M ODEL. 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! THIS RARE BANDAI, 100% FULLY FUNCTIONING. IT HAS BEEN IN DRY STORAGE EVER SINCE COMING HOME WITH ME!

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 RARE BANDAI IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! THIS PORSCHE BUMP'N GO CARRERA.

IS A VERY RARE MODEL. YOU CAN LOCATE SOME OF THE MODELS THAT UTILIZE A BELLOW TO STEER THE CAR, BUT, YOU'LL NEVER FIND ONE OF THESE THAT'S COMPLETE! I KNOW THIS AS I HAVE A COUPLE OF THESE AND THE HAND HELD UNIT FELL APART WITH NORMAL USAGE WHEN I USED THESE AS A CHILD.

THE MODEL BEING OFFERED HERE HAS THE SAME BODY, BUT IS AN UPGRADE TO THE BELLOWS MODEL..... TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THIS MODEL HAS NEVER BEEN RESTORED AND ITS GUTS ARE 100% ORIGINAL AND W ORKING!! YOU DO HAVE A FEW SLIGHT COSMETIC ISSUES WHICH WILL BE POINTED OUT BELOW. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A USED MODEL THAT ALTHOUGH STORED FOR THE PAST FEW DECADES, IT STILL LOOKS SHARP AND IS COMPLETE.....

ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT IT WORKS AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE... THE BODY ITSELF HAS A BRIGHT AND SHINY ORIGINAL RED FINISH. THIS MODEL WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE "STREET LEGAL" VERSION AS THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANY OF THE COMPETITIVE RACING DECALS ON THE BODY ITSELF (THESE DECALS WERE OPTIONAL). THE TWO CHROME MIRRORS DO HAVE SOME VERY SLIGHT LIGHT LOSS OF CHROME DUE TO BOTH IT'S AGE AND THE FACT THAT THIS MODEL WAS USED (PLAYED WITH).... NOT TOO BAD, BUT APPARENT THE BODY IS 100% PLASTIC AND YOU DO HAVE SOME SHALLOW SCRATCHES FOUND THROUGHOUT IT.

THE ENGINE IS ALSO PLASTIC HAS A RED TRANSPARENT TOP END WHICH DOES FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THIS MODEL IS POWERED ON. ALL OF THE GLASS (REALLY BLUE PLASTIC) IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. YOU HAVE NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR DISTORTION ANY WHERE ON IT. THE TWO (2) HEADLIGHTS ARE ORIGINAL AND ALTHOUGH THESE DO NOT WORK, THEY ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.

THESE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT DESIGNED TO EVER WORK ON THIS MODEL, THEY HAVE NO WIRING FOR THIS AND NO LIGHT BULBS.... BUT, THEY DO LOOK GREAT! THE TIN INTERIOR IS DONE IN COLORFUL TIN LITHOGRAPHY AND ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD YOU HAVE "PORSCHE CARRERA" IN WHITE. THE TIRES ARE RUBBER AND HAVE NO CRACKS, FLAT SPOTS OR DRY-ROT.

THE FRONTS WHEELS DO NOT TOUCH THE GROUND AS THE BUMP N'GO ACTION DRIVES THIS CAR. THEY SPIN INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER.

THE REAR WHEELS DO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND AND THESE ALSO SPIN FREELY AND INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER. THE HUB CAPS ARE PLASTIC AND STILL VERY SHINY. THE CHASSIS IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER IS MADE OF PLASTIC SO YOU HAVE NO ISSUES HERE. THE CHASSIS ITSELF IS MADE FULLY OF TIN AND HAS NO RUST OR CORROSION ISSUES.

THE BUMP N'GO DISC IS ALSO MADE OF TIN AND THE TWO (2) TINY WHEELS ARE PERFECT!! THIS ACTION WORKS GREAT AND WHEN THE CAR COMES INTO CONTACT WITH AN OBJECT, IT VEERS OFF THEN STRAIGHTENS OUT AND OFF IT GOES AGAIN! BANDAI PORSCHE CARRERA TAKES TWO (2) SIZE "C" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED) AND ALSO MAKES A REAL ENGINE SOUND WHEN POWERED UP AND AS I POINTED OUT ABOVE, THE REAR ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES "ON" AND "OFF" WHEN THIS MODEL IS POWERED UP. THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH IS LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THIS CAR WHERE THE REAR LICENSE PLATE OUGHT TO BE. THE CAR IS A GOOD SIZE AND MEASURES OUT AT 10 INCHES (25.5CM) AND IS JUST ABOUT 4 INCHES WIDE (10CM). I NEVER RECEIVED A BOX WITH THIS MODEL.

SO PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ONE. 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! MODEL 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 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!

ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY 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! THIS VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED B. ANDAI PORSCHE CARRERA WITH IT'S FULLY OPERATIONAL BUMP'N GO ACTION, IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HAVE 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 SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND. 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.

UTILIZING THIS METHOD IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL ROUTE TO GO...... AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN.

THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION. IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO.

IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION! THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE. IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL. DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE.

THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY! IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH FURTHER, ONCE YOUR IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A "SEARCH" BAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE JUST MY MODEL CARS, JUST TYPE IN "MODEL CAR" AND JUST MY LISTED MODEL CARS WILL POP-UP. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME LP'S... I THINK YOU GET THE JIST OF THIS NOW!

I HAVE A LIST OF CATEGORIES THAT WILL ASSIST YOU IN STREAMLINING YOUR SEARCH AS WELL. I HAVE JUST ADDED A NEWER CATEGORY "ANTIQUE/VINTAGE TOYS" TO HELP KEEP SOME OF THESE MODELS SEPARATE FROM MY OTHER LISTINGS HERE. ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS ON THIS EVER-SO-LIGHTLY USED AND FULLY OPERATIONAL, BANDAI, PORSCHE CARRERA IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION.
