I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES!
THIS RARE
SCHUCO 911 R HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR DECADES NOW. THE ONE NOW PICTURED IS MY FIFTH ONE OF THESE MODELS OUT OF 5 ..... YEP, IT'S MY LAST ONE THAT I WILL BE OFFERING UP TO THE EBAY WORLD, THIS WAS MY KEEPER, BUT IT'S TIME TO LET GO!
HAVING THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON EBAY. 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 RARE PORSCHE 911 R IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE AFFAIR WITH PORSCHE CARS. I CAN REMEMBER STEERING AT THESE CARS AND DREAMING THAT SOMEDAY IT WOULD ME BEHIND THAT STEERING WHEEL. SO AS A CHILD, I COULD ONLY ASK FOR AND COLLECT MODELS THEREOF. THANKFULLY, AS AN ADULT, MY PASSION BECAME A REALITY! I HAVE OWNED 6 911'S TO DATE, 1 944 (FOR THE NOW X-WIFE) AND 1 930. I CURRENTLY OWN A 1984 911 CARRERA CABRIOLET AND I AM ON A MISSION TO OBTAIN ANOTHER ANTIQUE 911/930.
THIS MODEL'S SCALE IS THAT OF A 1:16TH. THE EXACT DATE THIS WAS MADE ELUDES ME, BUT IF I WERE TO GUESS, I WOULD SAY THIS IS FROM THE EARLY '70'S (ACTUALLY 1972). THIS MODEL WAS INTRODUCED SHORTLY AFTER THE "SERVO" MODELS THAT THEY RELEASED BACK IN
THE LATE '60'S TO EARLY '70'S
. I HAVE THE CLOCKWORK 930 VERSION ALSO LISTED AT THIS TIME.. IN EXACT SHAPE/CONDITION AS THIS RS (UNLESS IT HAS SOLD OFF).
IT IS MADE OF
ALMOST ENTIRELY OF PLASTIC AND HAS VERY LITTLE METAL O
R TIN IN IT. YOU HAVE NO CRACKS (STRESS OR OTHERWISE) FOUND ANYWHERE ON THE BODY OR CHASSIS.
THIS MODEL WAS WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME. IT
HAS SOME GREAT FEATURES TO INCLUDE:
* FORWARD AND REVERSE,
* REALISTIC HORN (YOU NEED TO DEPRESS THE STEERING WHEEL TO OPERATE),
* OPENING DOORS,
* ORIGINAL CARRERA FRONT & REAR SPOILERS (REAR DUCK~TAIL IS REMOVABLE, BATTERY COMPARTMENT),
* ONE OF THE ORIGINAL 911 R COLOR SCHEMES,
* REMOVABLE WHEELS, TIRES AND HUBCAPS,
* TRUE TO LIFE BUCKET SEATS (REMOVABLE) & INTERIOR,
* FULL SET OF EXTRA SPIKED TIRES (TYRES),
* WORKABLE CAR JACK,
* STEERABLE FRONT WHEELS BY MEANS OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND
* EMERGENCY WARNING ROAD SIGN.
T
HE BODY ON THIS CAR IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL DECALS ARE PRESENT AND ARE STILL FIRMLY IN PLACE (BY
SCHUCO). BOTH
DOORS OPEN AND LIGHTLY LOCK OPENED AND/OR CLOSED. THE VEHICLE'S GLASS (REALLY PLASTIC) IS PERFECT WITH NO DISTRESS CRACKS OR DISCOLORATION. BOTH RALLY STYLE HEADLIGHTS STILL HAVE THE FACTORY GLUE HOLDING TH
EM INTO PLACE ON THE HOOD (BONNET). THE REAR DUCK TAIL DECK LID IS IN ALL AROUND VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. THIS DOES PULL OFF AS THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS LOCATED UNDER THIS DECK LID.  IT DOES HAVE A FACTORY BLEMISH, AS PICTURED, BUT THIS IS AN OLDER DECK LID AS IT HAS NO DECAL AND THE WORD "PORSCHE" IS BUILT INTO THE DECK ITSELF!!
ALL OF THE WHEELS ARE PLASTIC WITH EXCELLENT RUBBER TIRES AND COLOR CODED "HUB CAPS", ALL OF WHICH ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL. NO CRACKS OR FLAT SPOTS EXIST ON ANY OF THESE TIRES.
THESE "HUB CAPS" ARE DESIGNED TO BE REMOVED BY THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL BENT WRENCH (PICTURED AND INCLUDED), WHICH HAVE TINY NUTS WHICH SCREW INTO THE LOCKED POSITION AND HOLD THESE WHEELS INTO PLACE.
ON THE BOTTOM YOU HAVE THE
SCHUC
O
LOGO,
MODEL NUMBER AND SOME OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
PORSCHE 911 R TO INCLUDE THE HALLMARKED "MADE IN W. GERMANY" WITH THE PATENT INFORMATION. THE CHASSIS ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION AND SHOWS NO SCRATCHES FOR USAGE AND HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY.
THE ORIGINAL TOOL, VEHICLE JACK, EXTRA NUT AND 4 TIRES (TYRES) ARE ALSO INCLUDED AND STILL IN THEIR ORIGINAL WORKING SHAPE.
THE BOX IS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. ALL OF THE LIDS SIDES ARE STILL ORIGINALLY ATTACHED, YOU HAVE NO ADDED GLUE OR TAPE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THE BASE OR LID. THE PRINT AND GRAPHICS ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT SHAPE/CONDITION. YOU HAVE A LITTLE WEAR ON THE BOX BUT MUCH LESS THEN IT'S AGE WOULD INDICATE. THE ORIGINAL RETAIL PRICE IS WRITTEN IN PENCIL ON ONE OF THE SMALLER SIDE PANELS (EASILY REMOVED).
THE BASE AND INSERT ARE ALSO ORIGINAL AND I PLACED A BLOCK OF FOAM UNDER THE EXTRA TIRES (TYRES) SO AS TO PREVENT THEM FROM FALLING THROUGH. YOU ALSO HAVE A SMALL TEAR WHERE THE WRENCH IS HELD.
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! 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
SCHUCO 911 CARRERA R
MODEL IS FULLY TESTED (AND WO
RKS
PERFECTLY
)
AND WILL BE FULL
Y
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 D
O NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
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!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS. THESE PICTURES DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT AND VITAL PART OF MY DESCRIPTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EBAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
THIS
VINTAGE
, BATTERY OPERATED SCHUCO RALLYE
PORSCHE 911 R
IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HAVE PASSED US BY.
THIS MODEL IS FULLY TESTED AND OPERATES WITHOUT AN ISSUE, IT WORKS EFFORTLESSLY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND WITH A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE APPLIED ON THE STEERING WHEEL, YOU HAVE THE HORN DISCHARGING. BOTH DOORS OPEN AND LOCK IN EITHER POSITION. THE VEHICLE JACK WORKS PERFECTLY AND I PULLED OFF ALL FOUR (4) WHEELS TO MAKE SURE YOU'LL HAVE NO ISSUES IF YOU DO SO YOURSELF.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON EBAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (AND YES, I HAVE BEEN UPGRADED ON THIS ACCOUNT AS WELL) A GOLD T/RATED P~SELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "
PORSCHE DESIGN

SCHUCO PORSCHE 911 R
WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GSP" (GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM). IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-INS WITH SOME VERY UNSCRUPULOUS BUYERS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE, DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS. BY UTILIZING EBAY'S "GSP" THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME PROTECTION FROM THESE FOLKS. HOWEVER, IF YOUR NOT THRILLED WITH THE DELIVERED PRICE (AS EBAY DOES COLLECT IMPORT FEES), PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU.
PLEASE NOTE
THAT IF I DO SEND THIS DIRECTLY TO YOU (OUTSIDE OF EBAY'S GSP), I WILL HAVE TO INSURE THIS PARCEL FOR ITS SELLING PRICE. AS SUCH, IT MUST BE DECLARED FOR ITS SELLING VALUE. IT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE TO INSURE AN ITEM FOR 0.00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND DECLARE IT FOR .00. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAXES, DUTIES, IMPORT FEES OR ASSESSMENTS WHICH MIGHT BE LEVIED OR ACCESSED FROM ANY FOREIGN OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. SO PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR THIS ON YOUR END!
IF YOU HAV
E ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS, I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU PASS ON THIS AS I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYER WHO DOES NOT TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT, YET TAKES THE TIME TO LEAVE BADLY PLACED FEEDBACK DU
E TO THEIR IGNORA
NCE!
ONCE AGAIN, INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION .....
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON EBAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.
THIS WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT AND THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND OFFERING BY ME AT THIS TIME.
IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION!
THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
