VINTAGE DAIYA ASTRO MARTIN CLOCKWORK STUNT CAR IN RED. FULLY WORKING W/KEY!

Description

PERFECTLY WORKING (IN ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION). NO SURPRISES HERE .... JUST A PRISTINE VINTAGE DAIYA ASTRO MARTIN "STUNT CAR" WHICH STILL WORKS, TO THIS DAY AS DESIGNED! THIS MODEL HAS WHAT THEY CALLED THE STUNT CAR "MYSTERY ACTION". WHEN THE CLOCKWORK IS ENGAGED, THIS ASTRO MARTIN WILL GO FORWARD IN SMALL CIRCLES TO THE RIGHT, ONLY TO "FLIP" OR "ROLL" OVER AND THEN CONTINUE ON IT'S WAY
THIS NEW "MYSTERY ACTION" ALLOWS THIS MODEL TO OPERATE UNDER IT'S ORIGINAL FOUR (4) WHEELS. IT HAS A UNIQUE SPRING LOADED LEVER WHICH, WHEN IT'S TIME COMES, WILL OPEN UP, FORCING THIS ASTRO MARTIN TO ROLL OVER. THE TINY FIFTH WHEEL ON THE CHASSIS STEERS THIS CAR WHILE THE FRONT WHEELS DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE.
THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE IS STRONG AND ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL. NO WHERE ON THIS MODEL DO YOU SEE THE DAIYA LOGO. IT'S SIMPLY NOT THERE. BUT, I HAD TWO (2) OF THESE MODELS IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES WHICH DID HAVE THE DAIYA LOGO, SO THIS IS HOW I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS ASTRO MARTIN WAS/IS MADE BY DAIYA, ONCE OUT OF TOKYO, JAPAN.
ALL OF THE GRAPHICS THAT YOU SEE ARE HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY. THIS MEANS THAT THESE GRAPHICS ARE HERE TO STAY! YOU HAVE NO FEAR OF THESE FALLING OFF LIKE DECALS OR STICKERS. THIS BODY IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT IT IS DESIGNED TO ROLL OVER ONTO IT'S ROOF!!
THE CHASSIS IS AS CLOSE TO NOS AS ONE COULD ASK FOR.
THE ORIGINAL BOX WAS LOST IN MY FAMILIES EPIC WATER GUN BATTLE, BACK IN THE EARLY 1970'S.
NO DENTS, CORROSION, RUST OR TARNISH ON THIS MODEL. YOU DO HAVE SOME VERY SHALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES .... FROM USE. IT'S ABOUT 7 INCHES IN LENGTH (17.5CM).
DOMESTICALLY SENT VIA THE USPS FULLY INSURED.

MY PICTURES DO A FAR BETTER JOB THEN MY DESCRIPTION ABOVE, PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PHOTOS DO BECOME A VITAL PART OF THE DESCRIPTION, SO BE SURE TO CHECK THESE OUT REALLY THOROUGHLY AND IF ANY QUESTIONS DO ARISE, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I AM TRYING A SHORTER CONDENSED APPROACH TO MY LISTINGS AS I HAVE LITERALLY MORE THEN A THOUSAND MODELS TO ADD.....
WHOEVER PURCHASES THIS MODEL WILL BE PROUD TO ADD IT TO THEIR COLLECTION, IT'S A RARE MODEL SELDOM SEEN HERE ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE, ADD TO THIS THAT'S IT'S PERFECTLY OPERATIONAL AND YOU HAVE YOURSELF A REAL KEEPER HERE!
