TAIYO VINTAGE SPEED KING NON - FALL MYSTERY BUMP ' N GO ACTION & BOX FULLY
Item History & Price
HERE I AM OFFERING A RARE, TIN & PLASTIC (ROOF, FENDERS & CHASSIS), VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED, TAIYO "SPEED KING" VEHICLE OF THE 1931 SERIES. THIS IS TAIYO'S MODEL NUMBER: C-616 AND IT IS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION AND HAS THE ORIGINAL BOX (MORE ON THIS LATER).
VLUWOB = VERY LIGHTLY USED WITH ORIGINAL BOX.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE DECADES AND RECENTLY, I HAVE DECIDED TO OFFER A SELECT FEW OF THESE MODELS TO THE EBAY WORLD!
HAVI...NG HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS TAIYO MODEL CAR IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THE EXACT DATE THIS WAS MADE/OFFERED ELUDES ME, BUT IF I WERE TO GUESS, I WOULD SAY THIS IS FROM THE EARLY 1970'S AS STAPLES ARE USED ON THE BOXES LID AND BASE AND THIS IS AN LOW TAIYO MODEL NUMBER.
THE TIN LITHOGRAPH FOUND THROUGHOUT THIS MODEL IS STILL FACTORY FRESH, SHINY AND BRIGHT. THE GREEN SECTIONS OF THIS CAR IS MADE OF TIN AS IS THE INTERIOR. YOU HAVE NO DINGS, CORROSION OR RUST FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS MODEL.
THE FENDERS, WALKING BOARDS, ROOF, GRILL AND HEAD LAMPS ARE MADE FROM PLASTIC (AS IS THE CHASSIS) AND HERE YOU HAVE NO CRACKS (SPYDER OR OTHERWISE), CHIPS OR DISTORTION.
ALL OF THE GRAPHICS/DETAILS ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY WHICH ARE PRINTED ON (NOT STICKERS) THE TIN BODY AND SHOW NO DISCOLORATION, WEAR OF IMPERFECTIONS, DINGS, DENTS, RUST OR CORROSION.
ALL FOUR (4) TIRES ARE MADE FROM A HARD PLASTIC ON THE SIDE WALLS AND A SEMI-SOFT RUBBER ON THE FLAT (TRACTION) AREAS WHICH IS SOMEWHAT PLIABLE/SOFT, AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO BE. THEY HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS, DISCOLORATION OR DRY ROT, THEY ARE ALL PERFECTLY ROUND! ALL FOUR (4) WHEELS ARE STILL SHINY CHROME AND ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL.
THE BOX IS ORIGINAL AND YOU HAVE A TAPE ISSUE HERE. AT ON TIME SOMEONE USED TAPE TO SEAL THIS BOX..... AND SEAL IT THEY DID! THE TAPE HA HAD NO REASON OR FUNCTION OTHER THEN TO SEAL THE BOX, IT MENDS NOTHING, BUT BEING A REINFORCED ADHESIVE TAPE ... IT'S HERE TO STAY!
PLEASE REVIEW MY PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND BOX!! YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE COLOR OF THIS MODEL IS UNUSUAL ...IT'S ALSO ORIGINAL!
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO, OR A SIMPLE PUSH TO SEE IF THE FRICTION DRIVE IS WORKING! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS TIN TAIYO "SPEED KING" CAR IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS....
YOU SIMPLY OPEN THE BATTERY BOX WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS AND INSTALL TWO (2) SIZE "C" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). NOW YOU PLACE THIS CAR ONTO ANY LEVEL AND HARD SURFACE.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT TOO MANY MODELS OF THIS ERA WERE DESIGNED WITH CARPETS IN MIND! AS SUCH, BY PLACING THESE MODELS DOWN ONTO A CARPET COULD DAMAGE THE INTERNAL GEARS CAUSING THIS MODEL NOT TO RUN CORRECTLY, SO PLEASE AVOID PLACING THIS MODEL DOWN ONTO CARPET.
THIS "SPEED KING" IS A NEWER MODEL THEN THE OTHER "SPEED KING" WHICH I HAVE LISTED AT THIS TIME. THIS MODEL HAS NO TETHERED REMOTE CONTROL AND HAS THE TAIYO ADVANCED "NON-FALL" DRIVE. THIS DRIVE ALSO ACTS LIKE THE "MYSTERY" AND "BUMP'N GO" DRIVES OTHER MANUFACTURES OF THIS ERA PROMOTED.
WITH THIS MODEL YOU SIMPLY TURN THE MODEL ON BY PUSHING THE POWER SWITCH WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE CHASSIS TO THE POSITION OF THE ARROW.
ONCE POWERED UP, THIS MODEL WILL LIGHT UP IT'S FRONT GRILL IN RED AND THE FIFTH WHEEL WILL INSTANTLY START TO TURN. NOW YOU SIMPLY PLACE IT DOWN AND OFF IT GOES! THIS MODEL ALSO WILL NOT FALL OFF A TABLE (OR SHOULD NOT AT LEAST). THEIR NON-FALL ACTION WILL PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AS THIS IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE WHEN THE FRONT BLADE LOOSES CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE. THIS HAS BEEN TESTED AND IT DOES WORK! BUT, TO BE SAFE, ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO CATCH IT!! KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR DEALING WITH OLDER TECHNOLOGY HERE!!
ALL IN ALL YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE BATTERY OPERATED "SPEED KING" CAR THAT WORKS AS PERFECTLY AS THIS MODEL DOES! ADD THAT FACT THAT YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX AND IT'S IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL CONDITION AND NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A KEEPER! IN FACT, AS OF THIS LISTING (10/22/2017), THIS IS THE ONLY FULLY OPERATIONAL, NON-FALL, BOXED "SPEED KING" BY TAIYO LISTED HERE ON EBAY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
