AMICO MARTINI RACING PORSCHE 917 TIN REMOTE CONTROL CAR WithBOX! FULLY OPERATIONAL
HAVING HUNDREDS 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 1: 2 8 SCALE PORSCHE 917 IS STILL IN IT’S ORIGINAL BOX. IN FACT, I REALLY HATE TO CALL THIS USED, BUT, I DID TAKE IT OUT OF IT’S BOX AND USE IT FOR A WHILE. THEIR ARE SOME TELL TALE SIGNS OF USAGE, VERY… VERY SLIGHT TELL TALE SIGNS, I MIGHT ADD. I WILL TOUCH UPON THESE LATER. THIS R/C MODEL CAR IS MADE BY AMICO. NIKKO ALSO OFFERED THIS EXACT SAME MODEL…. NIKKO ALSO MADE THESE FOR AMICO. THIS WAS USED FOR A FEW TIMES AND I REALIZED THAT MY NEPHEWS W ERE TOO YOUNG FOR THIS TYPE OF MODEL/TOY. SO THESE W ERE PLACED INTO STORAGE AND THERE THEY SAT…. BUT SEEING HOW THE Y RESIDE IN VERMONT, B Y THE TIME WE HOOKED B ACK UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS, THEY OUT GREW THIS MODEL AND THE ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY W AS SO QUICK BACK THEN (AS FAR AS R/C’S WENT), THIS TYPE OF REMOTE CONTROL CAR BECAME OLD REALLY QUICKL Y! AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CONTENTS ARE STILL HERE, THE INSTRUCTION ARE PRINTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE LID AND YOU HAVE A SEPARATE SHEET TO FINE TUNE THE REMOTE CONTROL. THE OPERATION IS VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC. KEEP IN MIND THAT COMPARED TO TODAYS TECHNOLOGY, THIS R/ C IS ANTIQUATED! BUT, BACK WHEN THIS WAS INTRODUCED, IT WAS WAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE. ONCE YOU INSTALL THE BATTERIES, YOU SWITCH ON THE CAR AND IT STAR TS RIGHT OFF IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION. PL ACE THE CAR ON THE GROUND AND WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE TRIGGER ON THE REMOTE CONTROL THE CAR GOES INTO REVERSE A ND WHILE BACKING UP IT TURNS TO THE LEFT. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE TRIGGER, THE CAR GOES FORWARD ONCE AGAIN. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OTHER THEN THIS! AFTER A FEW TIMES AROUND, YOU QUICKLY ADJUST TO THIS AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, IT FEELS LIKE YOU’VE BEE N DOING THIS FOR YEARS! SOON YOU WILL REALIZE THAT THE FRONT TWO WHEELS DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THE GROUND! THE FIFTH WHEEL DOES ALL THE WORK HERE! THE BODY ON THIS MODEL IS FULL Y TIN AND ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE PRINTED ON (TIN LITHOGRAPHY). THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE PURPLE PLASTIC AND ARE PERFECT ON THIS MODEL, AS IS THE WINDSHIELD AND TWO SIDE WINDOWS. THE TIRES ARE SOFT AND SOMEWHAT PLIABLE. YOU HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS OR DRY ROT. THE W HEELS ARE BRIGHT CHROM E WITH NO DISCOLORATION O R TARNISH. THE CHASSIS IS 100% PLASTIC AND DOES SHOW SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR HERE AS ONCE AGAIN, THIS WAS USED, BUT, ONLY FOR A VERY, VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE BATTERY LID IS WELL ATTACHED AND SLIDES FORWARD AND LOCKS CLOSED NICELY. THIS TOO IS 100% ORIGINAL AND WORKS LIKE A CHARM. INSIDE OF THE BATTERY BOX IT IS CLEAN WITH N O CORROSION OR RUST. THE REMOTE CONTROL IS IN SHOWCASE SHAPE/CONDITION. THE BATTERY LID ON THE REMOTE CONTROL IS PERFECT AND OPENS AND LOCKS AS IT SHOULD. IN THE REMOTE CONTROL, YOU HAVE NO SIGNS OF CORROSION OR RUST. BOTH ANTENNAS HAVE THE ORIGINAL SAFETY CAPS ON THEM! THE BOX IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND DOES SHOW SOME WEAR FROM BEING STORED FOR A COUPLE OF DECADES. BUT, IT IS WITHOUT ANY TEARS AND IT IS NOT COMING UN-GLUED ANYWHERE EITHER. NO TAPE OR GLUE IS USED ANYWHERE ON THE ORIGINAL BOX. ALL OF THE PRINT IS COLORFUL AND CLEAN. THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX IS 100% STYROFOAM AND IS IN ALL AROUND E XCELLENT CONDITION. EVEN THE STYROFOAM LID IS INCLUDED! I TESTED THIS MODEL TODAY THE 28TH OF SEPTEMBER AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY. ALL OF THE FEATURES WORK WITHOUT HESITATION. ALL ONE OF THEM! BUT, IT DOES WORK AS DESIGNED AND AS NEW! PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL TAKE IT FROM THERE. THIS IS A 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. HAVING THOUSANDS OF ALBUMS, TONS OF MODEL CARS AND A BUNCH OF COOL ANTIQUE & VINTAGE GOODIES (MOST NON-AUTOMOBILE RELATED), I THOUGHT IT TIME TO DIVERSIFY AND OFFER SOME OF THESE UNIQUE ITEMS TO THE E-BAY WORLD.

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!
