HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY RARE, VINTAGE, FULLY TIN "POLICE RIOT SQUAD" WHICH IS BATTERY POWERED AND HAS FULLY FUNCTIONING AND ORIGINAL MYSTERY ACTION DRIVE, BETTER KNOWN BUMP'N GO ACTION. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FEATURES STILL PERFECTLY WORKING (MORE ON THESE BELOW).

FROM THE RESEARCH WHICH I HAVE DONE WITH THIS JEEP, COMBINED WITH MY EXPERIENCE, WOULD MAKE MY BEST GUESS FOR A MANUFACTURER TO BE EITHER NOMURA TOYS LTD. OR MASUDAYA TOYS CO., LTD (AKA MODERN TOYS) AS THE ONLY HALLMARK ON THE JEEP ITSELF IS "MADE IN JAPAN".

LUIOWO = LIGHTLY USED IN ORIGINAL WORKING ORDER.

I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 + DECADES! WHAT I DID BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WAS TO TEST THESE NEW ADDITIONS, MESS AROUND WITH THEM, REMOVE THE BATTERIES (IF APPLICABLE) AND STACK THEM UP IN A FEW OF MY CLOSETS IN MY PARENTS HOME. I THEN MOVED ON TO MY NEXT PROJECT! THIS PARTICULAR MODEL NEVER THRILLED ME AS IT WAS A FRICTION DRIVEN MODEL AND NEWLY INTRODUCED "BATTERY POWERED" MODELS WERE ALL THE RAGE AT THIS TIME.

I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MY DAD WORK FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC BACK IN THE 50'S THROUGH THE '90'S. THIS MODEL HERE WAS BROUGHT HOME AFTER ONE OF HIS MANY "TABLE-TOP" SHOWS IN NYC.

HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS 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 TIN, BATTERY POWERED "RIOT SQUAD" JEEP IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!

THIS MODEL HAS A VERY, VERY STRONG, ORIGINAL ELECTRIC ENGINE!  THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS IN ALL AROUND VERY GOOD SHAPE/CONDITION, BUT DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES FROM USAGE/PLAY WEAR. THE TIRES ARE WITHOUT ANY CRACKS OR FLAT SPOTS, AND EVEN THE FOUR (4) TIN HUBCAPS ARE IN BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION HOWEVER, FULL OR TARNISH, BUT HAS NO CORROSION OR RUST.TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE!!!

THE MACHINE GUN ON THE HOOD IS DESIGNED NOT TO PIVOT, BUT, WILL MANUALLY MOVE UP AND DOWN. THE TIP OF THIS MACHINE GUN FLASHES RED TO EMULATE GUN FLASH AND TIMED TO THIS IS A "ACK-ACK" SOUND (REALISTIC GUN FIRING SHOTS). THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FRAME WILL MOVE FORWARD SLIGHTLY, BUT, IT WILL NOT GO DOWN ALL THE WAY BECAUSE THE MACHINE GUN WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO.

THE BODY OF THIS JEEP DOES SHOW SOME SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A MODEL WHICH WAS PLAYED WITH AND IS NOT BEING REPRESENTED AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL POLICE JEEPS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN, THE COLORS ARE STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND POP REALLY NICELY. ALL OF THE BODY IS STILL SHINY AND YOU HAVE NO DENTS, RUST OR CORROSION FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS JEEP, ALTHOUGH YOU WILL SEE SOME SERIOUS TARNISH ON THE HUB CAPS (AS MENTIONED ABOVE). ALL OF THE GRAPHICS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS JEEP ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY, SO YOU HAVE NO STICKERS OR DECALS TO DEAL WITH .... EVER!

THE INTERIOR IS MADE OF FULL TIN AND THIS TOO HAS TIN LITHOGRAPHY LOCATED THROUGHOUT IT'S INTERIOR. THE REAR TV SHOWS A GREAT PICTURE OF A BOAT CRUISING IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AS YOU HAVE A NICE PICTURE OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IN THE BACKGROUND. THE ANTENNA LOCATED HERE IS ORIGINAL AS WELL. THE POLICE OFFICER IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND IS ALSO ORIGINAL TO THIS JEEP.

ONCE AGAIN, THE CHASSIS IS IN VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE! HERE YOU HAVE NO CREASES, DENTS, RUST, CORROSION OR MAJOR ISSUES.  YOU DO HAVE SOME PLAY WEAR WHICH IS LESS THAN CONSISTENT WITH THE MODELS AGE.

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACT THE OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE OF THIS JEEP RATHER THAN MY WORDS ABOVE.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT CLAIMING THIS VINTAGE JEEP AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) FOR IT IS NOT! HOWEVER, I AM CLAIMING IT IS AN EXTREMELY RARE MODEL IN ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION WHICH IS FULLY OPERATIONAL AND AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS NEW!

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. 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!
 
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING 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!

THIS VINTAGE, RARE, FULLY WORKING, TIN "POLICE RIOT SQUAD" IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND OF A TIME THAT HAS PASSED US BY!

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 GOLD T/RATED POWER~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" ITEMS/ACCESSORIES.

I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH E-BAY AND PAYPAL. THIS VINTAGE JEEP WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.

FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, I WILL BE PLACING THIS ITEM INTO EBAY’S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN’S WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR NATURE … "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE EBAY’S GSP AS THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM THESE FOLKS.

THIS ITEM MUST BE DECLARED FOR IT’S SELLING PRICE. IT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE AN ITEM FOR $20.00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ATTEMPT TO INSURE IT FOR $200.00! IN ADDITION, VIA THE GSP, THEY (EBAY) AUTOMATICALLY FIGURES OUT THE IMPORT FEE (IF APPLICABLE) AND COLLECTS THIS, SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU......

IT IS MY INTENTION TO ADD AT LEAST ONE VINTAGE/ANTIQUE MODEL CAR A DAY OR UNTIL SUCH A POINT IN TIME THAT I GET BURNT OUT IN DOING SO! I HAVE CREATED A NEW CATEGORY IN MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY AND TO SEE AN EASIER WAY TO ACCESS THIS, PLEASE READ BELOW!



THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.

I HAVE JUST ADDED THE "STORE" FEATURE THAT E-BAY OFFERS WE SELLERS TO USE (AT A FEE OF COURSE) AND THIS IS TO ASSIST YOU, THE BUYER, TO VIEW ALL OF MY OFFERINGS. IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL "BLUE" OR "RED" DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. ONCE LOCATED, A SINGLE LEFT CLICK ON IT WILL IN TURN "OPEN" THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY!

IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH FURTHER, ONCE YOUR IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A "SEARCH" BAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE JUST MY MODEL CARS, JUST TYPE IN "MODEL CAR" AND JUST MY LISTED MODEL CARS WILL POP-UP. ... IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME LP'S ... YOU GOT IT ... TYPE IN "ALBUMS" . I THINK YOU GET THE GIST OF THIS NOW!

I HAVE A LIST OF CATEGORIES THAT WILL ASSIST YOU IN STREAMLINING YOUR SEARCH AS WELL. A NEWLY CREATED "ANTIQUE/VINTAGE TOY" CATEGORY NOW EXISTS! THESE ARE TO THE LEFT ONCE YOU ENTER MY STORE.

ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS ON THIS LIGHTLY USED & FULLY OPERATIONAL, TIN, BATTERY OPERATED "POLICE RIOT SQUAD"  JEEP AND FOR ANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE GIVEN ME IN THE PAST......

JOE
