Large Vintage Martini Porsche 930 W/mystery Bump'n Go Action, Working W/box! on 2040-parts.com
North Kingstown, Rhode Island, US
HERE
I AM OFFERING A VERY RARE, LARGE, VINTAGE AND BATTERY OPERATED MARTINI PORSCHE 930 WITH FULLY OPERATIONAL AND WORKING MYSTERY ACTION/BUMP'N GO. THIS IS AN EARLY 930 TURBO MODEL AND IS MADE ALMOST ENTIRELY OF PLASTIC.
UIOB = USED IN ORIGINAL BOX.
I REALLY HATE TO CALL THIS USED, BUT, I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 4 DECADES! WHAT I DID BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WAS TO TEST MY NEW ADDITION, MESS AROUND WITH IT, 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/VICTIM!
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.... FINALLY ... BIG BOY TOYS!! LOL...
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. 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 BUMP'N GO MARTINI 930 IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS MODEL'S SCALE IS THAT OF A 1:14TH AND WAS MADE IN ITALY. THE MODEL NUMBER IS: ART. 324. THE SIZE AS JUST MENTIONED IS THAT OF A 1:14 SCALE. IT MEASURES OUT TO A GOOD 14 INCHES (36CM) WITHOUT THE TAIL! ADD THE TAIL AND ADD 2 MORE INCHES (5CM).
ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A PLASTIC MODEL OF AN EARLY PORSCHE 930 WITH ERA CORRECT MARTINI RACING DECALS.
THIS MODEL IS RELATIVELY A SIMPLE ONE, BUT, DOES WORK PERFECTLY AND AS IT DID BACK WHEN THIS WAS NEW.
THE FRONT WHEELS DO NOT ADJUST (OR STEER THE CAR) AS THIS MODEL CAR SIMPLY MOVES ALONG USING THE ROTATING "MYSTERY ACTION" LOCATED BETWEEN THE FRONT TIRES. THE BATTERY POWERED ENGINE IS VERY STRONG AND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOOKS NEW AND UN-USED! THIS MODEL TAKES TWO (2) SIZE "D" CELLS.
THE STICKERS ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE ALL ATTACHED. SOME DO NEED SOME HELP TO AS IN CERTAIN AREAS THE ADHESIVE HAS FAILED. THE ONLY CHROME FOUND ON THIS MODEL IS LOCATED ON THE WHEELS. HERE THEY ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH NO PITING, CORROSION OR WEAR. THE BODY IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO SCRATCHES OR DAMAGE ANYWHERE.
THE TIRES ARE MADE OF A HARD RUBBER/PLASTIC AND ARE ALL MARKED "CINTURATO PIRELLI 1655R14". ALL 4 OF THESE TIRES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR THEIR AGE! THE WHEELS THEMSELVES ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE WHEELS PORSCHE USED OFTEN BACK IN THE DAY. THESE ARE KNOWN AS COOKIE CUTTERS, WHICH AGAIN, WERE POPULAR IN THE '70'S ON VARIOUS PORSCHE MODELS.
ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS MODEL YOU HAVE THE ON/OFF SWITCH AND BATTERY COMPARTMENT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THIS BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOOKS UN-USED. I DID SHOW THIS IN MKY PICTURES.
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! 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 BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER PORSCHE TURBO (930 MARTINI RACING MODEL) THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND THE CAR IS FULLY FUNCTIONING ... NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION OF PORSCHE, MARTINI RACING, BATTERY OPERATED, ANTIQUE MODEL CARS!!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND SUPPLY ME WITH YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL DO THE REST!
