SCHUCO LTD. CLASSIC EXAMICO CLOCKWORK PORSCHE 356 NOS FROM 2000! ITEM NR. 01373.

Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG
UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY SCHUCO VEHICLES. THIS ONE NEVER MADE IT TO MY DISPLAY IN MY OLD "MAN CAVE" AS THIS WAS/IS ONE OF MY NEWEST MODELS TO MY COLLECTION. THIS IS THEIR MODEL CAR (CLOCKWORK) WHICH THEY HAVE CALLED THEIR "SCHUCO-CLASSIC" LINE. THIS MODEL WAS MADE IN CELEBRATION OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM, 2000.
THIS IS A SCHUCO-STUDIO VERSION OF THE CLASSIC AND NOSTALGIC PORSCHE MODEL 356 ... WITH A TWIST! AS NOTED ABOVE, THIS IS A LIMITED MILLENNIUM EDITION.
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE OWNED OR HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 PLUS DECADES.
I JUST RECENTLY RE~DISCOVERED ONE OF MY "LOST" BOXES (AS I JUST MOVED) AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE MODELS CONTAINED WITHIN IT.
FOR A FACT, I KNOW THAT THIS SCHUCO WAS NEVER WOUND UNTIL THIS DAY THE 11TH OF MAY! I GINGERLY REMOVED IT FROM IT'S PROTECTIVE INSERT AND FULLY TESTED IT. IT WAS SORT OF FUN TESTING THIS MODEL OUT.
IT'S A VERY COMPLEX CLOCKWORK DRIVE WITH FOUR (4) FORWARD SPEEDS AND REVERSE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MODELS THAT YOU CAN PUSH IT AROUND WITHOUT FEAR OF DAMAGING THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE. DECADES AGO, SCHUCO PIONEERED A UNIQUE DRIVE WHICH DISENGAGES WHEN THE CLOCKWORK TENSION IS NOT DETECTED. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO PUSH THIS VEHICLE IN ANY DIRECTION ONCE THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE IS SPENT (OR EXHAUSTED). I OPTED TO USE ANOTHER KEY THAT I HAVE ...LEAVING THIS ONE FULLY ORIGINAL AND UNUSED.
IN ADDITION TO THE 5 SPEEDS, YOU ALSO HAVE AN EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH WORKS TO LOCK DOWN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL.
THE TINY ORIGINAL TIN STEERING WHEEL DOES ACTUALLY WORK AND IS ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL.
THE BODY ON THIS PORSCHE 356 IS AS NEW. IT HAS NEVER LEFT THE PROTECTION OF IT'S BOX FOR ANY REASON OTHER THEN THE PICTURES SUPPLIED HERE AND IT'S INAUGURAL TESTING WHICH I JUST PERFORMED. THIS MODEL IS SCHUCO'S ITEM NUMBER:
01373
.
THE BODY IS BLACK WITH START AND THE YEAR "2000" IN SILVER IN THREE (3) LOCATIONS WITH A BLACK INTERIOR. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ON THIS LIMITED EDITION 356 ARE HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY. THIS MEANS THAT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY GLUE BLEEDING THROUGH OR AND OF THESE GRAPHICS FALLING OFF!
ALL OF THE TIRES ARE ROUND AND HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS OR SPLITS.
THE CHASSIS IS AS NEW AND SHOULD BE AS THIS IS A TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK).
THE BOX IS IN EXCELLENT ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY MILD SHELF RASHING. THE WINDOW HAS SOME SLIGHT DISTRESS MARKS FROM BEING PLACED INTO A TOWER OF BOXES.
YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY WHICH IS STILL SEALED AND ATTACHED TO THE INNER PROTECTIVE SECTION (ONCE AGAIN, I USED ANOTHER KEY FOR IT'S TESTING) AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS AND VEHICLE CERTIFICATE WHICH STATES THAT THIS PRODUCTION RUN WAS/IS LIMITED TO 1000 EDITIONS!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SCHUCO MODEL AND IS A RE-MANUFACTURED MODEL OF ONE THAT THEY PRODUCED ORIGINALLY BACK IN THE '50'S. THE SAME DIES AND TOOLS WERE USED. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS ONE WORKS PERFECTLY AS THE SPRING MECHANISM HAS BEEN RETOOLED AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO DATE WITH SOME STRONGER MATERIALS. SO YOU HAVE A MUCH GREATER CHANCE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OVER WINDING IT, THUS DISABLING IT'S CLOCKWORK ENGINE.
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! THIS
SCHUCO
VEHICLE
WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL AND TO ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY

ALSO NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES 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!
