***(comes with the generator now 1/16/16)
Here is a \'Barry Toycraft\' 1963 Corvette Sting Ray used to promote the New 1963 Corvette Sting Ray that was introduced in late summer of 1962. GM & Chevrolet used this 1:2 scale Junior-sized toy to promote the all new Corvette.
Supposedly, GM had 1200(+-) built, shipped and billed @ $285 to Chevrolet dealers to use in any variety of ways.
As you will see, this car needs a battery, bumpers and bodywork to run and look great. I have purchased a Delco Remy generator since this ad started...it isn\'t pictured, but is to be included.
Construction:
* \'Barry Toycraft\' was the builder...
* the fiberglass body was made by hand laying layers of fiberglass cloth and resin on a mold...it\'s strong and durable, just like the early Corvettes...made by a boat manufacturer...
* car has an actual tubular steel frame...
* fiberglass body is bolted to the frame, consequently it is easily removed...
* power isderived from a 12-volt car battery (not pictured)...positioned in the right rear of the frame...clamps hold it in place...
* built-in battery charger...copper metal covering, sits ahead of generator...
* 6 mph top speed...
* chain-driven ... chain is off of car, so use it for correct size...
* Delco-Remygenerator(not pictured), sits to the left of the battery...belt drive
* steering system includes; steering wheel, shaft, tie rods...much like a go-kart of that era...
* 12\" x 3\" rubber tires on styled wheels..
* windscreen that bolts on (shown in some pictures)...
* brakes are pedal actuated with a steel rod pressing against rear tires...
Dimensions:
* scale: approximately 1:2 (length)...1:2.3 (width)...
* 6\'- 5\" o.a. length...29 1/4\" width...18 1/2\" height w/o windscreen...
* weight - approximately 145 lbs. without a battery & generator...
Condition:
* body is solid...an excellent car to restore...
* fiberglass body to frame tabs need reinforced, as they are broken/elongated...
* steel frame still has a good protective coat of black paint...no rust...
* gel coat finish has scratches & light damage, such as the left rear...
* bumpers are missing...1 piece still hanging onto a bracket...
* good seat...no covering...

Shipping: I can palletize, build a wood framework and cover that with light plywood (screwed together)for an additional $200. Rough dimensions for shipping are; 225 lbs. 86\" x 36\" x 30\". I have a forklift to load it onto a truck at no charge to you.
You can negotiate your own freight through , private shippers, U-Ship... I\'ll try to answer freight questions & steer you away from a bad shipping experience.
Thanks for looking & offerding.
