HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE, LIGHTLY USED (REALLY DISPLAYED ONLY), VINTAGE, FULLY TIN, BATTERY OPERATED, NOMURA, "SWIVEL GUN JEEP" WHICH IS STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL FACTORY BOX! THE KICKER HERE IS THAT THIS COMBAT JEEP WORKS LIKE NEW AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FEATURES/FUNCTIONS STILL WORK PERFECTLY.

THIS SWIVEL GUN JEEP HAS SOME COOL AND UNIQUE FEATURES, BELOW IS A LIST OF THESE FEATURES/FUNCTIONS THAT ALL STILL WORK .... AND WORK PERFECTLY!!

1.) MADE 100% OF PRESSED TIN (METAL),
2.) BATTERY POWERED USES 2 SIZE "C" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED),
3.) TIN DRIVER & PASSENGER FACTORY ATTACHED TO SEAT (STATIONARY),
4.) DIRECT DRIVE (NO BUMP'N GO STYLE DRIVE),
5.) GATLING GUNS RED TRANSLUCENT MID-SHAFT WHICH FLASHES RED,
6.) GATLING GUNS SPINS 90 DEGREES,
7.) GATLING GUNS TURRET ROTATES BACK & FORTH,
8.) REALISTIC MACHINE GUN NOISES TIMED WITH THE FLASHING RED LIGHT,
9.) FULL TIME FORWARD DRIVE,
10.) STEERABLE FRONT WHEELS AND
11.) A COLLAPSIBLE FRONT WINDSHIELD (WINDSCREEN).

IN ADDITION TO THESE FEATURES/FUNCTIONS LISTED ABOVE, YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL GATLING STYLE MACHINE GUN WITH A COLLAPSIBLE BARREL (FOR STORAGE), WHICH STILL WORKS PERFECTLY AND I 100% ORIGINAL.

HAVING HUNDREDS (REALLY THOUSANDS) OF MODELS 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, TIN, BATTERY OPERATED SWIVEL GUN JEEP IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE.

THIS IS A TAD UNDER 8 INCHES (20CM) IN LENGTH AND IS A TAD UNDER 4 INCHES (10CM) WIDE.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE NO SIGNS OF RUST, CORROSION OR ABUSE OF ANY KIND . YOU DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL SHALLOW/LIGHT SCRATCHES LOCATED ON THE BODY & CHASSIS AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A VINTAGE TIN MODEL, BUT, NO WHERE NEAR AS WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED!!! THESE SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO THE COLOR SCHEME AND LOCATIONS.

THE "ATTACHMENTS" ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND STILL FACTORY ATTACHED TO INCLUDE THE DRIVER, FRONT BUMPER, SEATS, WINDSHIELD, REAR GUNNER, STEERING WHEEL, GATLING GUN, REAR BUMPER, EXTRA GAS CAN, SPARE TIRE AND HUB CAPS.

ALL FIVE (5) WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL AND HAVE NO CRACKS, DRY-ROT OR FLAT SPOTS. ALL FIVE (5) HUB CAPS ARE TIN AND HAVE NO ISSUES AT ALL.

ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE ALL DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY, SO THIS MEANS THAT THEIR HERE TO STAY. ALL OF THE COLORS ARE STILL SHARP AND POP VERY NICELY.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER ARE ALSO MADE OF PRESSED METAL AND THE DRIVER IS FIRMLY GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS (HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE). THE REAR GUNNER IS ALSO HANGING ON TO THE MACHINE GUN FOR DEAR LIFE!

THE CHASSIS IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND SHOWS ONLY VERY LITTLE SIGNS AND AREAS OF USAGE, LIKE SOME VERY SHALLOW SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT REPRESENTING THIS AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) ... HOWEVER, I AM REPRESENTING THIS AS A 100% FULLY OPERATIONAL, VINTAGE NOMURA SWIVEL GUN JEEP! I AM SURE AND WITHOUT A DOUBT, MANY OTHER SELLERS HERE ON EBAY WOULD CONSIDER AND REPRESENT THIS JEEP AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AS IT COULD EASILY PASS AS IT!  BUT, THEN AGAIN, I AM NOT YOUR NORMAL MERCHANT THAT YOU FIND HERE ON EBAY (MORE OFTEN THEN NOT YOU FIND SWILL MERCHANTS!!).

THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE OVERALL SHAPE. YOU HAVE VERY, VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF ANY SHELF RASHING FOUND ON THE BASES BOTTOM. THE BOX AS A WHOLE IS SWEET AND ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL EASY TO SEE AND READ. ONE OF THE BOXES BASES SMALLER SIDES IS CONCAVE AS THE CHIPBOARD HAS FULLY DRIED OUT OVER THE DECADES AND CAUSED THIS TO WARP SLIGHTLY.... THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED "GRAIN SHORT" VS. "GRAIN LONG" IN THE FOLDING BOX INDUSTRY AND THIS IS STILL PREVALENT TO CHIPBOARD.

ALL ORIGINAL TWELVE (12) STAPLES HOLD THE LID AND BASE TIGHTLY TOGETHER. THE LID HAS FOUR (4) STAPLES WHILE THE BASE, WHICH IS THREE TIMES AS WIDE/TALL AS THE LID, HAS EIGHT (8) STAPLES. AND AS JUST NOTED, THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL VERY SHARP AND THIS BOX DOES DISPLAY VERY NICELY. YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR TAPE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS ORIGINAL BOX. THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE STILL FACTORY GLUED INTO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LID.

THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC MODEL TO OPERATE. AFTER OPENING THE BOX AND GENTLY EXTRACTING THE JEEP FROM IT, YOU OPEN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS AND INSERT THE TWO (2) SIZE "C" BATTERIES (AGAIN, NOT INCLUDED AND AS INSTRUCTED). THE TIN 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 OR EVEN HARD WOOD FLOORING. WITH THIS BEING SAID, THIS PARTICULAR JEEP WORKS WELL ON ANY PILE OF CARPET.

SO WITH THIS PLACED DOWN, YOU NOW SWITCH THIS "ON" BY MOVING THE "STOP/GO" SWITCH TO "GO" WHICH IS LOCATED ON PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. THIS JEEP WILL TAKE RIGHT OFF GOING FORWARD. WHILE IT'S MOVING FORWARD, YOU'LL HEAR AN "ACK-ACK" STYLE NOISE TO SIMULATE MACHINE GUN FIRE. HERE YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE CENTER OF THE GATLING GUN IS ALSO FLASHING WHICH IS DESIGNED TO SIMULATE "GUN FLASH" DURING THIS TIME, THE REAR GUNNER IS PIVOTING 90 DEGREES AND GOING BACK AND FORTH FIRING HIS MACHINE GUN.

THIS "FIRING CYCLE" WILL CONTINUE UNTIL YOU SHUT IT DOWN OR THE BATTERIES DIE! 

YOU CAN ALSO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THIS JEEP AS THE FRONT WHEELS ARE DESIGNED TO BE TURNED TO DIRECT THIS JEEP

I HAVE ONLY ONE OF THESE SWIVEL JEEPS IN HOUSE AND I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE IN THIS OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION!

I DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE YOUR TIME AND FULLY ABSORB ALL OF MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR GREATER JOB OF SHOWING YOU THE ACTUAL AWESOME OVERALL SHAPE OF THIS JEEP AND IT'S ACCOMPANYING ORIGINAL BOX.

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!

AS I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS NOMURA SWIVEL GUN JEEP IS FULLY TESTED AND RUNS AS IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH NO ISSUES AND ALL OF THE FEATURES THAT ARE HI-LIGHTED ON THE ORIGINAL BOX DO ALL WORK.

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 POWER~SELLER WITH OVER 7 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 NOMURA JEEP WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND IT SHALL 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 $300.00! 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……..

AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) 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.

IT IS MY INTENTION TO ADD AT LEAST ONE MODEL PER EVENING UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I FEEL THAT I AM BURNING MYSELF OUT! LATE LAST WEEK, I SOLD A FEW OF MY NEWLY LISTED MODELS, SO IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME TO GET AHEAD HERE! BE SURE TO CHECK ME OUT OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT SEE THAT SOMETHING SPECIAL WHICH MIGHT JUST FILL THAT VOID IN YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION!

WHAT A NICE GIFT THIS TIN "SWIVEL GUN JEEP" WOULD MAKE!! YOU'LL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE IN ANY CONDITION, LET ALONE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES AND STILL HAS IT'S ORIGINAL BOX!

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION FOR SOME ONE'S ARMY, JEEP, MILITARY, JAPANESE, TIN, ETC COLLECTION!



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.
