It measures 17 " long (43 cm.) and 7 inches wide (18 cm.) and is complete and all original. The car is in good, played with condition. The car has excellent color and good chrome. The friction motor works well and the car looks really nice as a whole. Much of the wear is on the back trunk area, there is an area near the right/ steering wheel side back fin that has been touched up, closeup #11. The touched up area runs along the fin and blends really well with the rest of the car. There are a couple of other small areas on the trunk with small touchups as well but other than that the paint is all original and the area the touched up areas are not obvious.  Also, as you can see in the same photo, the back bumper has some corrosion and a chip from the right plastic taillight. There are small scratches  and general playwear throughout the car.. The car is far from pristine but there is  a lot about this car that is right;  I would say that it is much more than the sum of its parts. I'll be happy to answer any questions if I can. The car is pictured on page 128 of the wonderful "Big Book of Tin Toy Cars" with a rarity rating of 7.   Shipping will be 10.50 in the U.S.; overseas air shipping will run 35.00.  Payment by Paypal or money order and within 7 days of close of auction, please..I reserve the right to cancel zero feedback bids if not contacted first... Thanks for looking!!!!
