VINTAGE, TIN, B/O DAIYA HIGHWAY PATROL JEEP! 100% OPERATIONAL W/ORIGINAL BOX!

Description

HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY RARE, VINTAGE
,
FULLY TIN "HIGHWAY PATROL" JEEP WITH A PLASTIC "DRIVER/OFFICER" HEAD WHO HAS A TIN HAT, 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) AND YOU EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX WITH THIS OFFERING (MORE ON THIS LATER).
FROM THE RESEARCH WHICH I HAVE DONE WITH THIS JEEP JUST HERE ON EBAY, I FOUND THAT THE MAKER OF THIS JEEP IS DAIYA. THE ONLY HALLMARK ON THIS JEEP ITSELF IS "MADE IN JAPAN". IN LATER YEARS DAIYA REVISED THIS MODEL AND MODIFIED THE HAND GUN INTO AN ALL RED TRANSLUCENT PLASTIC HANDGUN. HERE YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL (AND FIRST EDITION) HANDGUN WHICH IS FULLY MADE OUT OF TIN WITH A TINY RED LIGHT BULB LOCATED WITHIN THE TIP OF THE BARREL. THE LATER MODEL, THE MODEL WITH THE RED TRANSLUCENT HANDGUN ALSO HAS THE LOGO OF "DAIYA" ON THE REAR OF THE JEEP.

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. 9
5
% 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 DAIYA 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 TO EXCELLENT OVERALL 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 FIVE (5) TIN HUBCAPS ARE IN BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION WITH VERY LITTLE CURB RASH.
THE FULLY TIN HANDGUN GUN IS DESIGNED TO PIVOT UP AND DOWN WHEN THE JEEP IS POWERED UP. THE TIP OF THIS HANDGUN FLASHES RED TO EMULATE GUN FLASH AND TIMED TO THIS IS A "ACK-ACK" SOUND (REALISTIC GUN FIRING SHOTS). THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FRAME ON THIS JEEP IS PERMANENT AND WILL NOT FOLD DOWN ... IT COULD NOT FOLD DOWN EITHER WAY AS THE ORIGINAL LIGHT IS MOUNTED ON THE HOOD TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.
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 COOLEST POLICE JEEPS THAT I HAVE IN MY COLLECTION
, 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. 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, THE REAR RADIO HAS ALL ORIGINAL GRAPHICS AND THE ANTENNA LOCATED HERE IS ORIGINAL AS WELL. THE POLICE OFFICER IS MADE OUT OF TIN WITH TIN LITHOGRAPHY THROUGHOUT HIS BODY HIS HAT IS ALSO TIN WITH A TINY TIN SHIELD ON IT AS WELL! THE HEAD OF THE OFFICER, IS ONCE AGAIN, MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL/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. YOU HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT OR ANY OF THE BATTERY CONTACTS.
YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX WHICH HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS, BUT, DISPLAYS NICELY! YOU HAVE A SMALL SECTION MISSING ON ONE (1) OF THE SMALLER END PANELS AND INSIDE OF THE LID APPEARS TO BE REPAIRED WITH A LIGHT PAPER (WELL DONE I MIGHT ADD) THROUGHOUT. THE BASE HAS A SMALL TEAR AND HAS ALSO BEEN REPAIRED WITH TAPE. THESE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN HERE FOR WELL OVER A DECADE NOW AS THIS IS HOW LONG I HAVE HAD THIS DAIYA HIGHWAY PATROL JEEP IN MY COLLECTION.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU
EXACTLY WHAT
THE OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE OF THIS JEEP IS VS. MY WORDS ABOVE. ALSO NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A VITAL PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND LISTING.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT CLAIMING THIS VINTAGE DAIYA 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 EXAC
TLY 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
DAIYA "HIGHWAY PATROL"
JEEP 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 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
" 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 DIAYA 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 .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ATTEMPT TO INSURE IT FOR 0.00! IN ADDITION, VIA THE GSP, THEY (EBAY) AUTOMATICALLY FIGURES OUT THE IMPORT FEE (IF APPLICABLE) AND COLLECTS THIS, SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
