THE KICKER HERE IS THAT THIS GUN JEEP WORKS LIKE NEW AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FEATURES/FUNCTIONS STILL WORK PERFECTLY. THIS GUN JEEP HAS SOME COOL AND UNIQUE FEATURES, BELOW IS A LIST OF THESE FEATURES/FUNCTIONS THAT ALL STILL WORK!! MADE OF PRESSED TIN (METAL).
BATTERY POWERED USES 2 SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). TIN DRIVER/POLICE OFFICER FACTORY ATTACHED TO SEAT (STATIONARY). REALISTIC SIREN SOUND (ENGAGED WHILE ONLY IN DRIVE). MYSTERY ACTION (AKA: BUMP'N GO). FLASHING HOOD RED WARNING LIGHT.
AUTOMATIC FLIPPABLE HOOD WHICH ALTERNATES BETWEEN THE MACHINE GUN & EMERGENCY RED LIGHT, 8. MACHINE GUN TIP (MUZZLE) FLASHES RED, 9. REALISTIC GUN FIRE NOISES TIMED TO FLASHING RED MUZZLE AND 10. PERPETUAL CYCLE OF ALL OF THE ACTIONS ABOVE. IN ADDITION TO THESE FEATURES/FUNCTIONS LISTED ABOVE, YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL ANTENNA IN PLACE AS WELL AS THE "RADIO" LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THIS "GUN JEEP".HAVING HUNDREDS (REALLY THOUSANDS) OF MODEL S TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 90% 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 COOL, TIN, BATTERY OPERATED GUN JEEP IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE. THIS IS A TAD UNDER 11 INCHES (27.5CM) IN LENGTH AND IS 4 3/4 INCHES (12CM) WIDE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE NO SIGNS OF RUST OR CORROSION LOCATED ANYWHERE ON THIS EXAMPLE.
YOU DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL SHALLOW/LIGHT SCRATCHES LOCATED ON THE BODY AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A VINTAGE "PLAYED WITH" TIN MODEL! THESE SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO THE COLOR SCHEME AND LOCATIONS. THE "ATTACHMENTS" ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND STILL FACTORY ATTACHED TO INCLUDE THE RED SIREN, ANTENNA, RADIO, DRIVER, HEADLIGHTS, FRONT BUMPERS, SEATS, WINDSHIELD (WITH IT'S ORIGINAL PLASTIC WINDOW) AND HUB CAPS. ALL FOUR (4) WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL AND HAVE NO CRACKS, DRY-ROT OR FLAT SPOTS.
ALL FOUR (4) HUB CAPS ARE TIN AND HAVE NO ISSUES AT ALL. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY, SO THIS MEANS THAT THEIR HERE TO STAY. ALL OF THE COLORS ARE STILL SHARP AND POP VERY NICELY. THE DRIVER IS ALSO MADE OF PRESSED METAL AND IS FIRMLY GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS (HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE).
THE CHASSIS IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND HAS SOME SIGNS OF USAGE, LIKE SOME VERY SHALLOW SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE. THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE.
THE BOX AS A WHOLE HAS DISCOLORED DUE TO IT'S AGE, BUT ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL EASY TO SEE AND READ AND THE BOX AS A WHOLE DISPLAYS VERY NICELY! YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERTS AS WELL. ALL ORIGINAL SIXTEEN STAPLES HOLD THE LID AND BASE TIGHTLY TOGETHER. AND AS JUST NOTED, THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL SHARP AND THIS BOX DOES DISPLAY VERY NICELY.YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR TAPE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS ORIGINAL BOX. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE BOX, YOU DO HAVE A SMALL SPLIT/CRACK STYLE AREA ON THE LID FROM THE WINDSHIELD (AS THIS IS THE HIGHEST POINT). HAVING A FEW OF THESE IN ALL PERFECT OPERATING CONDITION, THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE LIE IN THE ORIGINAL BOX. THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC MODEL TO OPERATE.
AFTER OPENING THE BOX YOU OPEN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS AND INSERT THE TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (AGAIN, NOT INCLUDED AND AS INSTRUCTED). THE TIN BATTERY LID AND PLASTIC LOCKING TAB ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND WORK WELL TO SECURE THESE BATTERIES IN PLACE. NOW PLACE THIS MODEL ON A HARD SURFACE..... KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST TO ALL VINTAGE MODELS WERE MADE TO BE PLACED ON A HARD SURFACE AND NOT ON A CARPET. CARPET WAS NOT A POPULAR ITEM BACK IN 1960'S AND EARLY 1970'S AS IT WAS DEEMED A LUXURY AND VERY COSTLY WHEN COMPARED TO LINOLEUM OR EVEN HARD WOOD FLOORING.
IN FACT, BY PLACING THIS MODEL ON A CARPET OR OTHER SOFT/PLUSH SURFACE YOU MIGHT CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPLEX GEARING CONTAINED WITH THIS MODEL, SO I WOULD AVOID THIS AT ALL COST! SO WITH THIS PLACED ON A LEVEL HARD SURFACE, YOU NOW SWITCH THIS ON BY MOVING THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH TO "ON" WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE REAR CHASSIS OF THIS JEEP.
DEPENDING ON WHERE/WHEN THIS WAS LAST POWERED DOWN, THIS WILL START THE. GOING FORWARD AND YOU WILL SEE THE RED LIGHT ON THE HOOD START TO FLASH AND HEAR THE SIREN.
AT THIS TIME THE PERFECTLY WORKING "MYSTERY ACTION" WILL KICK IN TO PROPEL THIS MODEL. GUN JEEP, WILL STOP, AS DOES THE SIREN..... SUDDENLY THE HOOD WILL ROTATE TO REVEAL A MACHINE GUN WHICH IT WAS CONCEALING.NOW YOU'LL HEAR A "ACK-ACK" STYLE NOISE TO SIMULATE GUN FIRE. HERE YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE TIP (OR MUZZLE) OF THE MACHINE GUN IS ALSO FLASHING WHICH SIMULATES "GUN FLASH". THIS "FIRING CYCLE" WILL TAKE ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN THE HOOD FLIPS ONCE MORE, THE GUN SHOTS SILENCE, THE SIREN SOUNDS AND THIS GUN JEEP TAKES OFF ONCE AGAIN! SOMETIMES THE HOOD WILL NOT INSTANTLY "FLIP" AS THIS IS SPRING ACTIVATED AND AFTER SITTING AROUND FOR A WHILE IT TAKES A FEW CYCLES TO FLIP THIS, BUT ONCE IT STARTS, IT WILL ALWAYS "FLIP" WITH NO ISSUES! THIS MODEL HAS NO ISSUES AT ALL....
THIS GUN JEEP HAS A REALLY NICE WORKING "MYSTERY ACTION" WHICH ALLOWS THIS JEEP TO VEER OFF ONCE ANY OBJECT IS STRUCK! THIS JEEP DOES NOT DO THOSE TINY CIRCLES AS A LOT OF THESE "MYSTERY ACTION" MODELS DO THESE ACTIONS ARE INDICATIVE OF AN IN-OPERATIONAL ACTION! ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE A FEW OF THESE GUN JEEPS AND ALL ARE IN IDENTICAL SHAPE/CONDITION. YOU WILL RECEIVE THE ONE PICTURED HERE AND WHEN THIS ONE SELLS OFF, I WILL TAKE A SERIES OF NEW PICTURES OF THE NEXT "GUN JEEP" TO BE OFFERED. SMALL DIFFERENCES ARE PRESENT AND THESE WILL BE DESCRIBED & POINTED OUT ONCE THIS GUN JEEP IS REPLACED BY THE NEXT ONE! HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO ADD BATTERIES OR TO WIND UP A TOY? I TEST ALL OF MY LISTINGS (IF APPLICABLE), TWICE! ONCE, WHEN I OPT TO LIST IT AND AGAIN PRIOR TO ME SENDING IT OFF.THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL DO THINGS AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE DONE THINGS HERE ON E-BAY! AS I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS NOMURA. IS FULLY TESTED AND RUNS AS IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH NO ISSUES AND ALL OF THE FEATURES THAT ARE HI-LIGHTED ON THE ORIGINAL BOX DO ALL WORK. THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD!
