VINTAGE & RARE NIKKO PORSCHE 911S REMOTE CONTROL CAR WithBOX! FULLY OPERATIONAL
THIS PORSCHE 911S HAS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. AND TRUST ME, I HAVE SEEN CLOSE TO EVERYTHING EVER MADE… AS FAR AS REMOTE CONTROL CARS GO. 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 PORSCHE 911S 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 WAS/IS MADE BY NIKKO. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO NIKKO MODEL NUMBER ON THE BOX, THEY DO HAVE A PAT. 23005 ON ONE OF THE SMALLER SIDE PANELS. THIS ALONE IS AN INDICATION AS TO HOW UNUSUAL THE REMOTE CONTROL ACTUALLY IS! AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CONTENTS ARE STILL HERE, THE STYROFOAM BASE, ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS, PORSCHE 911 S MODEL CAR, REMOTE CONTROL, STYROFOAM LID AND BOX. THE OPERATION IS VERY SIMPLE AND AGAIN UNIQUE. KEEP IN MIND THAT COMPARED TO TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY, THIS R/ C IS ANTIQUATED! BUT, BACK WHEN THIS WAS INTRODUCED, IT WAS WAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE. AS WITH ALL REMOTE CONTROLLED MODELS, THE FIRST THING NEEDED TO DO IS TO LOCATE WHERE TO PLACE THE BATTERIES AND WHICH BATTERIES TO USE! HERE YOU NEED A HANDFUL! THE CAR TAKES THREE (3) SIZE “C”BATTERIES AND A SINGLE (1) 9 VOLT BATTERY (THE 9 VOLT IS FOR THE RADIO CONTROLLED FEATURE). THE HAND HELD REMOTE CONTROL TAKES A SINGLE (1) 9 VOLT BATTERY. THE BATTERY BOX IS LOCATED ON THE 911’S CHASSIS AND IN THE REAR. ONCE YOU PLACE THE BATTERIES IN THE HAND HELD REMOTE CONTROL, YOU CAN THEN SWITCH THE CAR “ON”. IT WILL TAKE RIGHT OFF AND HERE’S THE UNIQUE FEATURE. THE INDICATOR ON THE HOOD IS THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THIS PORSCHE IS OR WILL TRAVEL. YOU HAVE A FULL 360 DEGREES IN WHICH TO OPERATE IN! WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE TRIGGER ON THE HAND HELD REMOTE CONTROL, THE PORSCHE WILL STOP AND THE DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR ON THE HOOD WILL START TO TURN IN A CLOCK-WARDS DIRECTION. ONCE YOU OBTAIN THE DESIRABLE DIRECTION FOR THIS PORSCHE TO TRAVEL IN, BY SIMPLY VIEWING THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW ON THE HOOD, YOU SIMPLY RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND OFF IT WILL GO IN THAT DIRECTION! THIS MODEL HAS A UNIQUE FIFTH WHEEL WHICH IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW THE HOOD DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR. THIS NOT ONLY DRIVES THIS PORSCHE, BUT STEERS IT AS WELL. THE BODY ON THIS MODEL IS FULL Y MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. YOU HAVE SOME SLIGHT WEAR, BUT, NO BREAKS OR CRACKS (NOT EVEN A SPYDER CRACK). THE GRAPHICS ON THIS MODEL ARE ALL STICKERS AND/OR DECALS. ONE OF THE “PORSCHE” DECALS HAS FALLEN OFF FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR (ON THE BOTTOM) AND BOTH OF THE “STP” STICKERS WERE TAKEN OFF BY ME AS I DID NOT BELIEVE IN THEIR PRODUCTS… ON THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER YOU HAVE SOME SCRATCHING ON THE TOP OF IT WHICH RUNS DOWN INTO THE DOOR. YOU HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BODY AS WELL. ALL OF THE GREEN WINDOWS (REALLY PLASTIC) ARE PERFECT WITH NO BREAKS OR CRACKS. THE WHEELS LOOK LIKE THE STANDARD PORSCHE OLD STYLE COOKIE CUTTERS AND STILL HAVE A NICE CHROME FINISH ON THEM. NO TARNISH IS FOUND ON THIS MODEL. EVEN THE TARGA BAR IS CHROME!! THE TARGA ROOF DOES HOW SOME FRICTION WEAR IN THE CENTER (FRONT). ALL IN ALL IT’S REALLY A RARE BEAUTY TO BEHOLD! THE TIRES ARE SOFT AND SOMEWHAT PLIABLE. YOU HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS OR DRY ROT. ONCE AGAIN, THE W HEELS ARE BRIGHT CHROM E (COOKIE CUTTERS) WITH NO DISCOLORATION O R TARNISH. THE CHASSIS IS 100% PLASTIC AND IN BETTER OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION THEN THE BODY. YOU HAVE SOME VERY SHALLOW SCRATCHES AND THAT’S THE WORST OF IT! THE BATTERY LID IS WELL ATTACHED AND CLOSES AND LOCKS DOWN 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 ON ANY OF THE MANY BATTERY CONTACTS. THE REMOTE CONTROL IS IN SHOWCASE SHAPE/CONDITION. THE BATTERY LID ON THE REMOTE CONTROL IS PERFECT AND OPENS BY PIVOTING AND LOCKS AS IT SHOULD WITH OR WITHOUT THE BATTERY IN PLACE. IN THE REMOTE CONTROL, YOU HAVE NO SIGNS OF CORROSION OR RUST ON THE 9 VOLT PLASTIC CONNECTION. BOTH ANTENNAS HAVE THE ORIGINAL SAFETY CAPS ON THEM! THE BOX IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND DOES SHOW SOME SLIGHT WEAR FROM BEING STORED FOR A FEW OF DECADES. 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! YOU DO HAVE A VERY STRANGE CUT ON ONE (1) OF THE LARGER SIDE PANELS. THIS LOOKS LIKE A RAZOR CUT THIS, FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND ONLY DID ABOUT 1/2 OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE LID AND ALL OF THE INSIDE OF THE LID. IF I WERE TO GUESS, I WOULD CALL THIS A FACTORY ISSUE AS IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO CUT THE CHIPBOARD BOX AND NOT IT’S PAPER OUTER COVER WRAP! EITHER WAY, IT IS WHAT IT IS HERE AND THIS IS SHOWN IN MY PICTURES… ON THE OUTSIDE AT LEAST. I TESTED THIS MODEL TODAY THE 19 TH 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! ONCE AGAIN, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. 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. ALSO YOU CAN TWEAK THE RADIO CONTROL FEATURE. IT CAN BE ALTERED SLIGHTLY ALLOWING YOU BETTER CONTROL. THIS IS DESCRIBED IN THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS AND I FOOLED AROUND WITH THIS EARLIER AND IT STILL WORKS PERFECTLY AS I GOT THE CAR TO SORT OF FREAK OUT AND BACKED IT DOWN AND IT WENT BACK TO BEING NORMAL! THIS CONTROL IS ON THE CHASSIS OF THE MODEL CAR AND REQUIES ON A NUMBER 2 FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER TO ADJUST/CONTROL. 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 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. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN’S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS FOLKS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE “DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS”. SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME WHEN IT’S TIME TO LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK AS I HAVE NO MORE CONTROL OVER THIS THEN YOU DO! INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU…… SO I GUESS ONE COULD CALL THIS A “RARE MODEL”! 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 GIST 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 LIGHTLY USED (AT BEST) AND VERY RARE, NIKKO PORSCHE 911S (TARGA) WITH IT’S ORIGINAL BOX, INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTENTS.
