PLEASE READ COMPLETE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AND VIEW ALL PHOTOS CLOSELY BEFORE offerDING:

Offered here is an 8" long tin friction powered 1961Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe made by Bandai of Japan in the early '60s. It is extra clean and in very good condition with all parts intact. There is a strong friction motor as well. The car wears an attractive two tone black over dark blue paint scheme. The bottom part of the body has no dents or dings and just a couple minor scratches on right side. The blue paint has that wet look luster with a very high shine. I'm sure the black top is an older repaint as it shows some roughness under paint as well as one ding. The car still presents itself very well and looks great with this color combination. Trim all shines like chrome with no tarnish or corrosion. VW logo on authentic caps and rings style wheels looks just outstanding and all are pristine, just as nice as when they left the factory. Plastic windows are crystal clear, void of any cracks or breaks and are still firmly attached. Colorful litho interior has separate plastic steering wheel. Satin black chassis has just very minor wear. Rubber tires are all flawless with no cracks or flat spots. Friction motor runs like new; long, strong and smooth. An outstanding and rather hard to find tinplate toy car, made even better with a low starting offer and ..........as always.

PLEASE READ BEFORE offerDING:

 

Car is described to the best of my knowledge and ability. I take many photos from various angles, and all have super size ability. Unless noted, these photos will clearly show the true condition of item. Photos are of actual item being saleed. I recommend each potential buyer view the photos closely. Item is being sold as is so please ask any questions before sale ends and I will be happy to help you.

Your item will be securely packaged for a safe journey, but protective shipping coverage is available and strongly recommended as I accept no responsibility for item once it is mailed. Delivery confirmation is included on every domestic shipment to insure the package arrives at it's destination. For international shipments, priority airmail or first class postage are available. Shipping charges are fixed as is shipping method. A slight handling charge is built in to cover shipping room costs and help. I do not skimp on packing. I am a collector as well as a dealer, and many times have been chagrined to open a box and find a rare vintage toy broken en route. Not due to postal misuse, but by poor and insensitive wrapping. You will not receive toys packed like this from me. All my items are thoughtfully and carefully packed as though I would be mailing them to myself. Prices are set by size and weight. USPS Priority Mail dimensional weight rates will now apply for certain large packages shipped to select zones within the U.S. Priority Mail can be very expensive with an oversize package, as many of my toys require, therefore for those larger items I use Parcel Post which is just as safe and almost as fast. If you have a concern over cost, or prefer a different method of shipping, please let me know and I will be glad to work with you. Please email any concerns before leaving response, and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Items won all have one day handling and are mailed no later than the day after payment is made unless postal holiday or some unforeseen weather circumstance prevent shipment.

Thanks for looking!
