SCHUCO 1:18 SCALE CLOCKWORK MERCEDES 170V PICK-UP TRUCK! NOSIB! ITEM NR.: 00042

Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG
UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY SCHUCO VEHICLES/MODELS. THIS ONE NEVER MADE IT TO MY DISPLAY IN MY OLD "MAN CAVE" AS THIS WAS/IS ONE OF THE NEWEST MODELS TO BE ADDED TO MY COLLECTION. THIS IS THEIR MODEL TRUCK (CLOCKWORK) FROM WHICH THEY HAVE CALLED IT THEIR "SCHUCO-EDITION" LINE. THIS MODEL IS KNOWN AS THEIR MERCEDES 170 V PLANEWAGEN ... OR PICK-UP TRUCK IN THE ERA CORRECT MOTIF FOR ARAL PETRO.
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE OWNED OR HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 PLUS DECADES.
I JUST RECENTLY RE~DISCOVERED ONE OF MY "LOST" BOXES AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE MODELS CONTAINED WITHIN IT. THIS IS A LARGE 1:18 SCALE, TIN CLOCKWORK MODEL.
FOR A FACT, I KNOW THAT THIS SCHUCO PICK-UP TRUCK WAS NEVER WOUND UNTIL THIS DAY THE 21ST OF FEBRUARY! I GINGERLY REMOVED IT FROM IT'S STYROFOAM PROTECTIVE INSERT AND FULLY TESTED IT (USING ANOTHER KEY).
IT'S A VERY SIMPLE CLOCKWORK DRIVE WITH A FORWARD MOTION ONLY WITH STEERING. THIS LARGE MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A FANCY GEARBOX, EMERGENCY BRAKE OR REVERSE. IT SIMPLY CHUGS ALONG FORWARD AT A SINGLE SPEED AND CAN BE STEERED BY THE INTERNAL STEERING WHEEL!
BEING A LARGE 1:18TH SCALE MODEL, IT'S PRETTY HEAVY AS IT'S MADE FULLY OUT OF TIN/METAL. THE CLOCKWORK SPRING MUST BE A GOOD SIZE TO POWER SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE AS IT DOES.
THE BODY ON THIS MERCEDES 170 V IS AS NEW. IT HAS NEVER LEFT THE PROTECTION OF IT'S BOX FOR ANY REASON OTHER THEN THE PICTURES SUPPLIED HERE AND IT'S INAUGURAL TESTING WHICH I JUST PERFORMED. THIS MODEL IS SCHUCO'S ITEM NUMBER:
00042
.
THE BODY HAS A NICE HIGH GLOSS TWO TONE FINISH OF BLUE AND WHITE WITH A CANVAS COVERED REAR BAY/CARGO AREA. THIS CANVAS TOP AND IT'S METAL FRAME ARE FULLY DETACHABLE. THE FINISH OF THIS PICK-UP IS VERY SHINY WITH NO APPARENT FLAWS. IT HAS A FEW TASTEFUL CHROME ACCENTS LOCATED THROUGHOUT IT'S BODY. THE BUMPERS ACTUALLY WORK AS THESE ARE THE OLD LEAF SPRING STYLE OF BUMPERS.
THE MERCEDES BENZ TRI-STAR LOGO ON THE FRONT OF THIS PICK-UP IS PERFECT AND ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL AS ARE THE HEADLIGHTS, REAR DIRECTIONALS AND FIVE (5) HUB CAPS.... YOU HAVE AN EXTRA HUBCAP + TOOLS + KEY IN THE FACTORY SEALED BAG.
THE CHASSIS IS AS NEW AND AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A TRUE NOS MODEL.
THE BOX IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY MILD SHELF RASHING. THE CLEAR WINDOW IS ORIGINAL AND IN EXCELLENT ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION. THE FULL COLOR INSERT ADDS TO VALUE OF THE DISPLAY BOX AS IT IS WELL SEALED AND PROTECTED.
AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY, TOOLS AND EXTRA HUBCAP STILL SEALED AND TAPED TO THE INNER PROTECTIVE PACKAGING (ONCE AGAIN, I USED ANOTHER KEY FOR IT'S INITIAL TESTING) AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SCHUCO MODEL AND WAS RELEASED IN 1998 ON A LIMITED EDITION BASIS. THESE PICK-UP TRUCKS SOLD OUT VERY QUICKLY AND ARE RARELY SEEN AS NOS (NEW OLD SOCK) HERE ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE FOR THAT MATTER!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE EBAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS
SCHUCO
PICK-UP TRUCK
WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL AND TO ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT

PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EBAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
