The man from whom I bought this truck was very proud of the way he and his brother had taken care of it. They were not from a wealthy family and shared this special purchase with pride. The box (parts) is a separate listing. If you win the truck & the box the ship charge will be the same as for the truck only.
I washed the dust off, but did not try to make it look better. Red paint condition is about as nice as any I've ever owned. There are some scratches on the side compartment doors, one of which is also a little loose, but not damaged or broken. You can see a little corrosion on the front grille & bumper. This can be treated to improve the appearance.
Decals are excellent. All small parts (extinguishers/horn...) are secure. Both original hoses are missing ends. Long hose has the metal end and seems supple.
Fireplug hose coupling has the crank!
Ship Charges
Yes I combine orders. My goal is to make the ship charge equal to the USPS cost + insurance cost + $2 to $5 (depending on size) for a new box . USPS rates go up as weight and size increases; and they vary greatly with distance in USA and between countries.
Canada is generally close to the USA cost...I'll try to adjust the invoice before you process payment.
USA
Price quoted is for USPS Priority Mail, including insurance for items selling for more than $35. Parcel Post costs less, but is very slow. I'll try to ship as requested by the buyer.
Shipping outside USA
The quoted "fixed" ship charge for International shipments is an ESTIMATE. New USPS rates are VERY expensive, and increasing again in May. I'll send a refund, based on the formula above, if I overestimate. In general anything over 4 pounds must go Priority (more expensive).
The estimated INTERNATIONAL ship charge is based on air mail, no insurance & not traceable (2 recent shipments to Europe virtually disappeared). I recommend EMS or Registered mail for packages of significant value because they can be insured and get special handling. You may review the various shipping options at USPS.com.
The CUSTOMS form will be marked "merchandise" No invoice will be put in the package.
