Hello! Please read carefully!
This is an original first issue Per Welinder Freestyle deck, but it has had some restoration work on the white paint. I bought this deck for myself. I never intended to sell it, and dislike having to sell it now. I am only selling it because I am moving country. I mention this simply because I know collectors of old skateboards are very specialist, so I want all to be clear: I am not a professional at restoration. What I did was clean and repaint the wh...ite background. I did not even attempt to repaint the VCJ graphics on the top or bottom of the deck. It is hard to show you what I did on the photos. I did a good job for my own purposes, it looks superb hanging on a wall, but a professional would probably want better work done. All I can say is it looks so much better than the battered deck I had originally, and that was good enough for me, the person who it was intended for ha ha!
So if you are looking for a mint version of this deck? This is not the one :) I never found one, and I searched for a very long time.
This comes with all authentic parts. It has the tracker freestyle trucks with the plastic base AND plastic hanger, and the tracker copers. Powell & Peralta tailbones on both ends, bought from the Powell & Peralta store in china over a decade ago. The Powell and Peralta freestyle wheels are seconds - again, I spent a long time looking for these as originals, but couldnt find them. So seconds would have to do. They have never been skated, but they do have the "2" on the inside of 3 of the wheels, and on the graphics side of one of the wheels.
In the end, there are two ways to look at this deck - if you are looking for a mint, and perfect, first issue original Per Welinder, this is not it. But if you want one that looks great and has the best parts I could find, then this will do you fine.
Please feel free to ask any questions and details. I have no buy it now because I have no idea what it is worth, so please don't make offers. I will let the auction run.
I am fairly knowledgeable with old skool skateboarding, and I rode (and collected) Powell Peralta decks most of my life. This is a set up I would have rode back in the eighties (only I never had a Welinder 1, my first was a Welinder 2) and was set up as a "my perfect deck" to the best of my abilities. COllectors will understand, I am sure.
I am a good ebayer, check my feedback. Paypal only, USA only. I always send signed for, and will pack very carefully.
