1960 ' S Rare Near Mini Tonka Red Metal Jeep Cement Mixer Truck 77
Item History & Price
This is a rare all original mid to late 1960's red Jeep Cement Mixer #77 made by Tonka beginning in the mid 1960's as one of there Mini-Tonka series of trucks. This roughly 1:25th or 1:24th scale metal truck is based on the popular Jeep frame used in many of the Mini-Tonkas sold during that period. This classic 9" inch long metal truck features a tilt back spinning mixing drum, black plastic tires, white wheels, metal axles, and fully glass enclosed interior. The only noticeable flaws ...in the shiny rust free red painted body are a few small spider type paint cracks which would have been paint chips if its play life would have continued. These blemishes need to be pointed out to be noticed at all. The only real flaw is the missing rear white plastic hopper. This appears to be fairly common with this model cement mixer. The black plastic tires roll freely and straight on rust free axles. All parts (other than the hopper) are still factory secure and intact. The drum spins and lifts up easily. The 9.75" wide x 5" tall x 4" deep original box is included. It is complete and intact with strong edges and corners. It has a few light creases and scuffs in it. Box colors are still bright and shiny. A rare boxed classic roughly 56 year old toy accessory car in this condition is a must for any toy car, Tonka, Jeep, pressed steel vehicle, cement truck, or 1:25th / 1:24th fan / collector who seeks out the rarest and best available.Shipping will be via whichever USPS rate makes the most sense given my attempt to limit the cost while delivering the item in a safe and timely manner (Most likely first class).
