S
TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 90% 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 COOL, PLASTIC, BATTERY OPERATED CARRERA IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE.

THIS CARRERA IS SLIGHTLY LONGER THEN 10 INCHES (27CM) LONG AND IS ABOUT 4 1/4 INCHES (11CM) WIDE.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE NO CRACKS OR BREAKS FOUND ANYWHERE ON THE BODY, CHASSIS OR IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. THIS MODEL CARRERA HAS NO CHROME LOCATED ANYWHERE ON IT.
I RECALL USING THIS MODEL AS A CHILD AND I AM THE ONE WHO PLACED THE THREE (3) DECALS ON THE BODY OF THIS CARRERA. I OPTED NOT TO PLACE THE REST OF THESE STICKERS ON THIS MODEL AS IT WAS USED JUST A HANDFUL OF TIMES AND THEN PLACED ASIDE. THE BALANCE OF THE ORIGINAL STICKERS ARE INCLUDED.
DECADES AGO, MY DAD WORKED FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC AND THIS PORSCHE CARRERA FROM NOMURA WAS ONE OF HIS HOME COMING GIFTS FROM A TOY SHOW WHICH RECENTLY ENDED IN THE CITY (BACK IN EARLY 1970'S).
EVEN THOUGH MANY SELLERS HERE ON EBAY WOULD LIST THIS AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), I KNOW FIRST HAND THAT THIS IS NOT. HOWEVER, I AM REPRESENTING THAT THIS IS A FULLY WORKING AND OPERATIONAL VINTAGE MODEL!!
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE. IT DOES HAVE A SMALL DEPRESSION THE LID AS THIS WAS ONCE STORED IN ONE OF MY MANY TOWERS OF TOYS!
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC MODEL TO OPERATE. AFTER OPENING THE BOX YOU OPEN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS AND INSERT THE TWO (2) SIZE "C" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). THE PLASTIC BATTERY LID AND PLASTIC LOCKING TAB ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND WORK WELL TO SECURE THESE BATTERIES IN PLACE.
NOW PLACE THIS MODEL ON A HARD SURFACE..... KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST TO ALL VINTAGE MODELS WERE MADE TO BE PLACED ON A HARD SURFACE AND NOT ON A CARPET. CARPET WAS NOT A POPULAR ITEM BACK IN 1960'S AND EARLY 1970'S AS IT WAS DEEMED A LUXURY AND VERY COSTLY WHEN COMPARED TO LINOLEUM FLOORING.
SO WITH THIS PLACED ON A LEVEL HARD SURFACE, YOU NOW SWITCH THIS "ON" BY MOVING THE SHORT WHITE LEVER LOCATED ON THE REAR DECK, TO THE LEFT TO POWER HER UP.....
INSTANTLY THE DOME LIGHT WILL LIGHT UP AND DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY THE WHITE BUMPER IS IN, THIS CARRERA WILL EITHER GO FORWARD IN A FAST SPEED OR REVERSE IN A SLOWER SPEED. IF YOU PRESS IN THE REAR BUMPER, THE CARRERA WILL GO FORWARDS AT A HIGH SPEED. WHEN THIS CARRERA RUNS INTO AN OBJECT (LIKE A WALL) THE FRONT BUMPER WILL BE PUSHED IN AND THIS CARRERA WILL AUTOMATICALLY REVERSE IT'S DIRECTION AND SPEED.
WHEN THIS CARRERA GOES INTO THE REVERSE MODE, THE FRONT WHEELS ARE DESIGNED TO PIVOT THUS ALLOWING THE CAR TO VEER AWAY (STEER AWAY) FROM THE RECENTLY STRUCK OBSTACLE. AND WHEN IT RUNS INTO THE NEXT OBSTACLE (WHILE REVERSING), THE BUMPER WHICH IS NOW STICKING OUT FROM THE REAR FROM THE LAST OBSTACLE IT STRUCK WILL ONCE AGAIN, BE PRESSED INTO THE BODY THUS CHANGING THE VEHICLES DIRECTION BACK TO THE FORWARD DIRECTION. AGAIN, WHEN THIS CARRERA GOES IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION, IT DOES SO IN HIGH SPEED!
OFF THIS CARRERA GOES ONCE AGAIN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO RUN INTO! IT WILL CONTINUE THIS OPERATION TILL YOU POWER IT DOWN OR THE BATTERIES DIE!!
I HAVE ONLY ONE OF THESE "PORSCHE CARRERA" FROM NOMURA THAT I AM WILLING TO PART WITH. SO THAT MAKES THIS A ONE-OF-A-KIND OFFERING!
I WILL NEVER SAY TO ANYONE THAT "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND WILL BE SOLD AS IS" NOR WILL I EVER LIST THE WORDS "I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO I CAN NOT TEST THE CLOCKWORK (OR WIND-UP) MECHANISM, ACCORDINGLY, THIS ITEM IS SOLD
UNTESTED
AND AS IS". COME ON NOW ... HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO ADD BATTERIES OR TO WIND UP A TOY? I TEST ALL OF MY LISTINGS (IF APPLICABLE), TWICE! ONCE, WHEN I OPT TO LIST IT AND AGAIN PRIOR TO ME SENDING IT OFF. THIS WAY WE BOTH KNOW THAT YOU WILL HAVE NO ISSUES WITH ANYTHING THAT YOU BUY FROM ME. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL DO THINGS AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE DONE THINGS HERE ON E-BAY!
AND AS I JUST MENTIONED, THIS NOMURA PORSCHE CARRERA IS FULLY TESTED AND RUNS AS IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH NO ISSUES. ALL OF THE FEATURES ON THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL BOX WORK NOW AS THEY DID THE DAY THIS CARRERA LEFT JAPAN!
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A TOP/RATED GOLD 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 "

FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS FOLKS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS".
