Imai Japan Space Science Series Thunderbird Turned Into a Slot Car |
|

This car is from the Imai Space Science Series. I'm not sure
but I think it was a TV show in Japan. There are a group of
vehicles that was in this series. This is one from it and it
is called Thunderbird.
It is one strange looking car with 4 front wheels, a bubble
top and it looks like a Rolls Royce grill. It has a machine
gun coming out of the grill and has two missles that
actually fire by the headlights.
There are two figures in the car. One is a woman who is
Penelope and her driver whose name I don't know.
The guy I bought this from turned it into a slot car for his
daughters.
It is done so well I had to get it. He painted the car pink.
He installed a pick up assembly and wired it to the original
motor in the car as it was motorized. He says it isn't fast
but it wouldn't fall off the track with his daughters using
it.
It comes with the original box and instructions which are
all in Japanese.
I can't stress how well this guy made the car. The paint is
perfect. The side stripe he painted on is flawless. The
glass, chrome and body are exceptional. The tires are real
nice. The rockets do fire.
It does run.
It is 1/24th scale and the only one in the world.
It is a condition 10 and would be a very strange addition to
any slot car collection.
I'll leave it up for a while and then I am keeping it. |
