BUT, YOU HAVE NO DENTS, DIMPLES, RUST, CORROSION OR SERIOUS COSMETIC ISSUES. WHAT YOU DO HAVE IS AN ORIGINAL, COMPLETE AND FUNCTIONING, TIN 1974 911 CARRERA RS ALL DOLLED OUT IN THE ORIGINAL ATTIRE FOR THE AFRICAN SAFARI RUN OF 1974 WITH IT\'S ORIGINAL BOX!!I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE AFFAIR WITH PORSCHE CARS. I CAN REMEMBER LOOKING AT THESE AND DREAMING THAT SOME DAY IT WOULD ME BEHIND THAT STEERING WHEEL. SO AS A CHILD, I COULD ONLY ASK FOR AND COLLECT MODELS THEREOF. THANKFULLY, AS AN ADULT, MY PASSION BECAME A REALITY! I HAVE OWNED 6 911\'S TO DATE, 1 944 (FOR THE WIFE) AND 1 930. I CURRENTLY OWN A 1984 911 CARRERA CABRIOLET AND A 1977 930 COUPE.... FINALLY ... BIG BOY TOYS!! LOL...HAVING HUNDREDS (TO THOUSANDS) OF MODEL CARSTO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON . 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 1974 PORSCHE CARRERA 911RS IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!THIS MODEL\'S SCALE IS THAT OF A 1:16TH AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS NO MARKINGS OF THE MANUFACTURE ON THE VEHICLE ITSELF, IT DOES HAVE \"MADE IN JAPAN\" ON THE CHASSIS IN THE VERY REAR CENTER. WITHOUT THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL BOX, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY THAT THIS MODEL IS MADE BY ALPS!THIS MODEL IS RELATIVELY A SIMPLE ONE, BUT, DOES WORK PERFECTLY AND AS IT DID BACK WHEN THIS WAS NEW.THE BODY ON THIS PORSCHE IS ORIGINAL AND, ONCE AGAIN, MADE OUT OF PRESSED STEEL. YOU DO HAVE SOME SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR HERE AND THERE WHICH MAKES GOOD SENSE AS THIS WAS PLAYED WITH! THE WHALE TAIL IS ORIGINAL AS IS THE OIL COOLER ON THE ROOF. MOST FOLKS THINK THIS WAS/IS A LUGGAGE RACK OF SORTS. IT IS A SYSTEM PORSCHE DESIGNED TO KEEP THIS HIGHLY MODIFIED CARRERA RS COOL RUNNING IN INTENSE HEAT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS. EVEN THE TWO HEADLIGHTS HAVE THE ORIGINAL YELLOW LENSES AND THE THREE RALLY LIGHTS ARE ALSO ORIGINAL AND STILL FACTORY ATTACHED!ALL OF THE CARS COBALT BLUE PLASTIC WINDOWS ARE FLAWLESS AND HAVE NO STRESS CRACKS OR DISCOLORATION. . THE CHROME AROUND THE WINDSHIELD IS PERFECT AND WELL ATTACHED.THE STICKERS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE BODY ARE NOT STICKERS AT ALL ... ALL OF THE CARS GRAPHICS ARE PRINTED ON VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY ... THEY ARE HERE TO STAY!THE TIRES ARE MADE OF A HARD RUBBER/PLASTIC AND ARE ALL MARKED \"EVA-TIRE\". ALL 4 OF THESE TIRES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR THEIR AGE (IN FACT THESE LOOK NEW)! THE WHEELS THEMSELVES ARE ALSO PLASTIC AND PLATED IN CHROME. ALL OF WHICH ARE IN SHOWCASE CONDITION.THE FRONT WHEELS DO NOT ADJUST AS THIS MODEL CAR SIMPLY MOVES USING THE \"MYSTERY ACTION\'S\" ROTATING DISC WHICH IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE FRONT TIRES. THE BATTERY POWERED ENGINE IS VERY STRONG AND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOOKS NEW AND UNUSED! THE REAR WHEELS ALSO SPIN FREELY AS THIS MODEL IS 100% PROPELLED BY THIS DISC. SPEAKING OF THIS DISC, IT IS VERY COMMON ON THESE MODELS TO FIND THESE LITTLE WHEELS LOCATED WITHIN THE DISC TO HAVE FLAT SPOTS. WITH THIS MODEL, YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS AS AN ISSUE AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THIS MODEL WAS STORED SIDEWAYS FOR THE PAST FEW DECADES AND YOU HAVE NO SUCH ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL! THE CHASSIS IS IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE CONDITION. YOU HAVE NO SCRATCHES OR SIGNS OF WEAR OR USAGE. THE BATTERY BOX IS AS NEW AS IS THE PLASTIC BATTERY BOX COVER. ALSO LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS OF THIS MODEL YOU HAVE THE ON/OFF SWITCH LOCATED IN THE CENTER FRONT SECTION. THE ORIGINAL BOX IS INCLUDED AND DOES SHOW SOME SLIGHT SHELF RASHING AS IT HAS BEEN MOVED AROUND A LOT DURING IT\'S LONG LIFE. YOU HAVE ONE OF THE CORNERS TORN (SPLIT AT THE SEAM) AND NO TAPE OR GLUE HAS EVER BEEN ADDED TO THE LID, BASE OR ORIGINAL INSERT.TO POWER-UP THIS MODEL, ALL ONE NEEDS DO IS TO PLACE TWO \"D\" BATTERIES INTO IT\'S BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS. CLOSE THE DOOR AND LOCK IT DOWN, THEN TURN IT ON AND PLACE IT DOWN. IT WILL INSTANTLY HEAD OFF IN A FORWARD DIRECTION. WHEN THE CAR BUMPS INTO SOMETHING (MYSTERY ACTION) IT WILL TURN OUT AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE AND HEAD OFF STRAIGHT ONCE MORE... UNTIL IT IS FORCED TO ACT ONCE MORE.... AND YOU CAN SEE SMOKE BELLOWING OUT OF THE REAR EXHAUST AS THIS IS A REAL \"SMOKER\" HERE!! ITAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE WORLD. I DO HAVEOPTIONS 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! YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME WRITE \"THIS MODEL IS UN-TESTED AND WILL BE SOLD AS IS\" OR ... I LOVE THIS ONE, \"I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS MODEL AS I HAVE NO KEY TO WIND IT UP\", THIS IS USED ON CLOCKWORK OR WIND-UP MODELS. COME ON ... AFTER ALL HOW HARD IS IT TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES OR TO WIND UP A MODEL?? PRETTY DAMN EASY IF YOU ASK ME.ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BEVERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER ALPS PORSCHE CARRERA 911RS THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS FULLY FUNCTIONING AND YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX ...
