HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE, NEW OLD STOCK (NOS), TINPLATE, FULLY WORKING (RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX) & COMPLETE "DISTLER/SCHUCO ELECTROMATIC 7500 POLIZEI" PORSCHE 356 CABRIOLET.

TOCK!
THESE NOS SCHUCO 356 CABRIO'S WERE A SOMEWHAT RECENT ACQUISITION. DURING MY TRIP TO EUROPE IN 2008, I CAME ACROSS A SMALL RETAIL STORE WHICH HAD A FEW OF THESE IN STOCK, SO BEING ME, I PURCHASED ALL OF THE REMAINING STOCK AND HAD THEM SHIPPED TO MY HOME, HERE IN THE STATES. AND THERE THEY SAT IN MY HEATED BASEMENT TILL I MOVED IN 2017. HAVING RECENTLY REDISCOVERED THESE 356'S, I THOUGHT IT TIME TO TO OFFER THESE UP TO THE EBAY WORLD.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY VARIOUS LISTINGS, I HAVE A DIVERSE TASTE FOR CLOCKWORK AND BATTERY OPERATED MODELS/TOYS. HAVING LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS AND TOYS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, A WHILE BACK, I DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON EBAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE WHAT IT IS THAT I AM OFFERING UP TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS DISTLER/SCHUCO PORSCHE 356 WILL BE NO EXCEPTION TO MY RULES!
AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, THESE PORSCHE 356'S ARE SOME OF THE NEWEST ADDITIONS TO MY COLLECTION. I HAVE THREE (3) OF THEM IN IDENTICAL, WORKING AND COMPLETE CONDITION. I HAVE TESTED THEM ALL ON THIS DAY, THE 26TH OF FEBRUARY AND GINGERLY PLACED THEM BACK INTO THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING, NOW MAKING THEM AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
MY DAD ONCE WORKED FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC AND IN TIME, BECAME A SENIOR PARTNER IN THE BUSINESS. SCHUCO WAS ONE OF THE LINES WHICH HE REPRESENTED AND THE MODEL BEING OFFERED TO YOU HERE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DAD, BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH MY LOVE FOR ANY AND ALL THINGS SCHUCO.
AS CHILDREN GROWING UP WITH A FAMILY OF SIX (6), MY DAD BUSTED HIS ASS TO MAKE SURE WE NEVER WENT WITHOUT. MY MOM WAS A STAY AT HOME MOM WHO RAN THE KLAN WITH STERN AND STRICT RULES AND REGULATIONS. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH MY DAD'S SAMPLES AND OFTEN HAD A DOZEN OF ARNOLD, SCHUCO, BANDAI AND TECHNOFIX MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM. THIS IS WHERE MY SICKNESS DEVELOPED ...LOL! OR SHOULD I SAY MY LOVE FOR TOYS!
SO DECADES LATER, WHEN THE NEED AROSE (AND I RAN INTO THESE PORSCHES), I FELL BACK INTO MY CHILDHOOD AS SO MANY OF US DO AND WHIPPED OUT THE CREDIT CARD...... AND ABOUT A THOUSAND (1,000) EUROS LATER, I WAS CONTENT .... FOR A SHORT TIME FRAME AT LEAST!
I MENTION THIS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THESE WERE NOT INTENDED TO BE SOLD, BUT AS WE AGE, WE REALIZE THAT OUR PRIORITIES CHANGE AND SHIFT ..... OK ENOUGH PHILOSOPHY ... BACK TO THE MODEL AT HAND!
REMOVE THE SLEEVE, OPEN THE BOX AND GENTLY EXTRACT THE MODEL FROM IT'S STYROFOAM PACKAGING, LIFTING THE TOP SECTION OFF.
YOU CAN NOW PLACE THE PLASTIC REAR ANTENNA IN PLACE, SCREW THE BLUE LIGHT BULB INTO THE FIXTURE IN THE HOOD AND PULL THE KEY OUT FROM UNDER THIS MODEL IN THE SMALL ZIP-LOCK BAGGIE.
THIS REAR GRILL SLIDES DOWN, WHICH UNLOCKS THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT (WHICH IS BEHIND THE REAR JUMP SEATS). THESE 356'S TAKE THREE (3) SIZE "AA" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). INSTALL THESE AS PICTURED AND REPLACE AND LOCK DOWN THE REAR SEAT.
THIS PORSCHE HAS TWO (2) FORWARD SPEEDS, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE ... IN THIS ORDER   R...0...1...2. THE TINY CHROME STICK SHIFT ACTUALLY WORKS! HOWEVER WHAT DOES NOT WORK IS THE SIREN AND THE BLUE LIGHT DOES NOT FLASH .... THEY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED THIS WAY!
YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO USE OR NOT TO USE THE STEERING/SHIFTING CABLE. IT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO GET USE TO IT AND IT WORKS MUCH SMOOTHER WHEN YOU SHIFT ON THE FLY (WHEN MOVING/RUNNING). I HAVE PLACED THE 356 INTO NEUTRAL, SO WHEN YOU INSERT THE KEY, THE INTERNAL ENGINE WILL RUN, BUT, THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE OFF ON YOU.
YOU CAN STEER THIS 356 SO IT MAKES LARGE SIZE CIRCLES, GOES STRAIGHT OR TINY CIRCLES. THE STEERING WHEEL DOES WORK AND THE FRONT WHEELS TURN IN UNISOM.
WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE 356 PLACED FIRMLY ON THE GROUND, WITH YOUR FINGER, YOU PUSH THE STICK TO THE LEFT FOR REVERSE, OR EASY TO THE RIGHT FOR 1ST AND HARDER TO THE RIGHT FOR 2ND (FASTER)..... AND OFF SHE GOES!
TO ATTACH THE STEERING/SHIFTING CABLE TAKES A FEW ATTEMPTS AS IT IS SLIGHTLY MORE DELICATE THEN IT APPEARS. FIRST, YOU ATTACH, BY PUSHING, THE STICK SHIFT KNOB ONTO THE END OF THE STEERING CABLE, BE DELICATE HERE AS YOU COULD SNAP THE STICK SHIFT HANDLE AND/OR BREAK THE STEERING WHEEL!!! NOW WITH THIS IN PLACE. YOU PLACE THE RUBBER HOUSING OVER THE STEERING WHEEL .... SORT OF LIKE A SUCTION CUP. NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE THIS UNIQUE FEATURE. YOU STEER THE 356 BY TWISTING THE END SECTION (THE RED NIPPLE) LEFT OR RIGHT .... AND SO GOES THE 356. THE INNER BLACK SECTION OF THIS CABLE IS USED FOR SHIFTING THE 356. IN TIME, WITH PATIENCE AND EXPERIENCE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO WALK ALONG WITH THIS 356 AND AT WILL, SHIFT IT INTO 2ND FOR A FASTER SPEED ... OR INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE CAR AND THEN INTO REVERSE!
ALTHOUGH TO TODAY STANDARDS, THIS SYSTEM IS DATED AND OBSOLETE, IT WAS WAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE WHEN THIS TECHNOLOGY WAS DEVELOPED FOR THIS MODEL!
WITH THIS 356, YOU GET THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS, A SCHUCO 2006 COLLECTORS CLUB APPLICATION AND THE ORIGINAL "ZERTIFIKAT" SHOWING IT'S CONSTRUCTION DATE OF 4TH OF JUNE, 2006 AND THE FACT THAT ONLY 2000 EXAMPLES WERE MADE AT THIS TIME.
YOU ALSO RECEIVE THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE, INNER PACKAGING AND THE ORIGINAL INNER PROTECTIVE PACKAGING. HERE I DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AND YOU WILL BE RECEIVING THE MODEL/BOX WHICH IS PICTURED. ONCE I SELL THIS FIRST 356, I WILL TAKE A SERIES OF PICTURES OF THE SECOND 356 WHICH WILL BE THE MODEL DELIVERED AND THEN THE LAST 356 WILL BE FEATURED WHEN THE SECOND 356 SELLS OFF. THEY ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL .... THIS OUTER SLEEVE ACTUALLY HAS THE ORIGINAL RETAIL STICKER ON IT WHICH STATES 279 EUROS.
ALL OF THESE 356'S ARE TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AT THEIR FINEST. AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE THRILLED WITH NOT ONLY THEIR OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE, BUT THE WAY THEY WORK WILL KEEP YOU SMILING FOR SOME TIME TO COME!
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON EBAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN "AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS DISTLER/SCHUCO PORSCHE 356 MODEL IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) THERE IS NO NEED TO TEST THIS MODEL AGAIN AS I AM FULLY AWARE OF IT'S ENTIRE HISTORY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE EBAY 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!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. ALL OF MY WORDS HERE. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EBAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
THIS VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED SCHUCO ELECTROMATIC 7500 POLIZEI PORSCHE 356 IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HAS LONG PASSED US BY.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON EBAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A GOLD /RATED P-Seller WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "
PORSCHE DESIGN
" ITEMS/ACCESSORIES. I AM NOW RATED A TOP SELLER IN THIS ACCOUNT AS WELL!!!!
I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH EBAY AND PAYPAL. THIS SCHUCO 356 WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS ITEM WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A FEW RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". BY UTILIZING EBAY'S GSP THIS OFFERS "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDED PROTECTION FROM BUYERS WITH THIS STATE OF MIND AND ATTITUDE.
IN ADDITION, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE THIS ITEM FOR .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND INSURE IT FOR IT'S ACTUAL VALUE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT ASK IF I WILL LOWER IT'S DECLARATION VALUE. BY USING EBAY'S GSP, THEY (EBAY) DETERMINE IF ANY "IMPORT FEES" ARE TO BE COLLECTED. I HAVE NO CONTROL OR SAY IN THIS MATTER, SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME FOR THIS ACTION.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS, I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU PASS ON THIS PORSCHE 356 AS I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYER WHO DOES NOT TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT, YET TAKES THE TIME TO LEAVE BADLY PLACED FEEDBACK DUE TO THEIR IGNORANCE!
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS MIGHT APPLY TO YOU.....
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS
IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON EBAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.
THIS WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT AND THIS IS A THREE-OF-A-KIND OFFERING BY ME.
IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION!
THE NEW OWNER WILL BE PROUD TO PLACE THIS INTO HIS/HER COLLECTION!
