Greetings & best wishes from Mr.Allied and welcome to my sale.Please have confidence in my 100% honest descriptions and please read the following carefully:
This is a\"Thimble-Drome\" .049 Gas Powered, Mercedes-Benz, \"Grand Prix Racer\" Tether Car, Produced by the Master Craftsmen at the Legendary L.M. Cox Manufacturing Company of Santa Ana, California, Circa 1961 or so. These cars were replicas of the famous Mercedes-Benz W-196 racing cars and are beautiful models. They were expensive in 1961 and for good reason, as they were designed with features that were unheard of in model racing cars of the time. The car is made mostly of high impact plastic, with real rubber tires, metal axles, etc. I am unable to easily turn over the engine, as I am sure it is all gummed up from sitting around for so many years. The exhaust pipe assembly has come off, but it can easily be glued back into place. For some reason, the exhaust pipes, which are normally chrome, have been painted black. I believe they are chrome under the black paint, if someone wanted to try and remove the paint. As is common with these cars, the hood hinge is broken and has been repaired at least once. The hinge opens and closes nicely and I believe the hinge could easily be reattached to the hood. As nice as this car is, I think that it could benefit greatly from a good cleaning. Being that the red plastic is unpainted, polishing it with a good quality plastic polish would do wonders, improving or completely removing many of the blemishes. A good, clear reprint of the original instruction booklet is also included, along with the tether fitting. Being that these cars were expensive, they did not sell all that well and few were produced, with far fewer surviving in this condition today. PLEASE NOTE THATTHE PHOTOS ARE AN INTEGRAL and a VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS LISTING. What you see is what you get. I am selling this Very Old Cox Mercedes-Benz Racing Car, \"as-is, as-found.\" Please look the photos over VERY carefully and ask any questions you may have, BEFORE you make your purchase. BUYER PAYS SHIPPING BY USPS.
All shipments to a California address are subject to 8% sales tax.
IMPORTANT, THIS IS HOW I SELL ON , PLEASE READ:1. I try to keep shipping costs down, as best I can, while still packing in a manner that I feel will deliver your purchase to you undamaged. Your purchase will bePACKED WITH CARE, by someone who has been packing and shipping delicate items for over 45 years. And, your shipment will beFULLY INSURED, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU!2. I\'ve been around for a while--a LONG while--and I have dived into my last dumpster looking for shipping cartons! So, I purchase brand new, 200# test, shipping cartons and I use anti-static, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, loose fill packing material--MOST OF THE TIME. I say \"most of the time,\" because I will, on some occasions, ship in previously used cartons and I may reuseother types of packing materials, which best suit the item(s) being shipped. I sometimes use Priority Mail shipping cartons as well. At any rate, I do SLIGHTLY \"PAD\" the shipping charges oneach shipment, to cover my purchase of cartons, loose fill, tissue paper, packing paper, printing paper, bubble wrap,packing tape, rubber bands, plastic bags, shipping labels,\"FRAGILE\" labels, printing cartridges, etc. From what I see others doing, I feel the way I do this, it is really reasonable to ensure that your purchase arrives safe and sound. I DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING or SHIPPING SUPPLIES!3. I use the \"Shipping Calculator\" to determine the fairest and most accurate shipping cost. Shipping charges to AK or HI may be higher, please ask. I try to offer buyers at least two shipping choices--MOST OF THE TIME, usually USPS Priority Mail and USPS Parcel Select. I try to stay with USPS, but if an item sells for a very high price, I reserve the right to ship via UPS or FedEx instead, just for insurance purposes. On most of what I feel are the more expensive items I offer, I will INSIST on Priority Mail, ONLY. Lastly, I may make the decision to upgrade your shipping service. For example, you may have selectedandpaid for \"Parcel Select\" shipping, but I may decide to ship it via \"Priority\" instead. If I do this, you will NOT be charged any additional fee. I will never downgrade the shipping method you have chosen. ALL shipments valued over $100.00-and some under-will be sent with \"Signature Confirmation Required,\" NO EXCEPTIONS! I\'m sorry if this poses an inconvenience for you, but there are way too many parcels \"disappearing\" from doorsteps these days, so better safe than sorry.4. I will happily combine shipping, WHEN I CAN, on multiple purchases, but please keep in mind thatI need to adhere to rules of shipping within 24 hours of your payment. So, if you intend on offerding on multiple items of mine, WITHIN 7 DAYS, please inform me andDO NOT PAY MEuntil I have sent you an invoice for all the items. Should you decide not to wait for a combined shipping invoice, please note that I will not refund any overpaid shipping, I will just assume that you are so thrilled with the overall deal, that saving a couple of bucks on shipping isn\'t important to you.5. I ship to all countries served by the Global Shipping Program. I ONLY offer international shipping via the Global Shipping Program.6. If I ship to a California address, I MUST charge 8% CA sales tax. If you are buying for resale and you have a California Resale Permit, I will be happy to accept it, BUT, you MUST fill out a California Resale Certificate (available on the State Board of Equalization website), fill it out legibly, sign it, scan it and email it to me BEFORE I can ship your purchase. This is California law!7. If you have a problem with something you buy from me, PLEASE contact me at once, so we can try and resolve the matter. It is my goal to have you be TOTALLY SATISFIED and HAPPY and I want to EARN positive response from you, along with 5 star customer service. Along these lines, please feel free to forward any suggestions as to how I can do better.8. As a seller, your positive response is VERY important to me. If you like your purchase and my service, PLEASE take amoment to tell others about it by leaving positive response for me. I would very much appreciate it and I\'ll happily do the same for you.
