Description: VINTAGE CUSTOM TYCO YELLOW CALIFORNIA VAN ON A RECONDITIONED TYCO US1 TRUCKING CHASSIS California Vans were originally on Curvehugger chassis. Track tested and runs strong! This TYCO California Van wasn't in the greatest condition when I bought it. I removed the decal completely because it was peeling off. Both of the side pipes were missing (as they usually are)so I fabricated two new ones out of hollow brass tubing and chromed them. So they are actually hollow like an authentic side pipe would be. When I cleared coated them, they turned more of a silver than chrome. The front grill was a bit skewed. I fixed it and removed some abnormalities in the molding of the body(may have been factory mistakes?!?!)The chrome on the front grill chrome is actually in great condition.This car has been meticulously cleaned (hair, lint removed, body washed in mild detergent) and oiled. TYCO California Vans were originally on TYCO Curvehugger chassis, but I modified this one to fit on a TYCO US1 chassis. The chassis has a NEW 3D printed pinion gear. Brand NEW pick up shoes were installed. NEW silicone rear tires were put on. Windshield is in great condition! No broken pieces and all components cleaned up nicely! Great looking and running modification to the original California Van! Fun, one of a kind addition to your US1 Trucking collection. Look closely at photos! Ask questions if needed! Sold AS IS! NO RETURNS! I've been rebuilding US1 vehicles for quite a while now so I have some experience as to what works and what will not. I specialize in converting interesting TYCO slot car bodies (originally on HP7, 440X2, HP2, Curvehugger) to fit TYCO US1 chassis. I like to use vehicles that are from the era of the US1 trucking sets. Specifically targeting lighted vehicles or making vehicles lighted. Please see my other listings for more US1 vehicles and accessories, slot cars and bodies! More lighted US1 vehicles to come, so check back frequently! I will combine shipping when applicable! Thanks!
