    .
    I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 PLUS DECADES.
    AS YOU CAN SEE
    FROM MY PICTURES, IT IS ALL HERE! INCLUDED IN THIS OFFERING
    , YOU WILL RECEIVE THE ORIGINAL WESTERN GERMANY VARIANTO-BUS, O
    RIGINAL BOX (LABELED MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY), ORIGINAL STEERING CABLE, ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS (ALSO LABELED WESTERN GERMANY)AND THE ORIGINAL KEY
    . I GUESS ONE COULD CALL THIS ALL "ORIGINAL" WITHOUT ANY FEAR OF THIS COMING BACK AT YOU! THE KI
    CKER IS THIS WAS NEVER EVEN USED!! IT HAS SPENT IT'S ENTIRE EXISTENCE CONTAINED WITHIN IT'S ORIGINAL B
    OX!!!
    THE BOX IS HALLMARKED "MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY" AS I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS PARTICULAR SCHUCO VARIANTO BUS NUMBER 3044, ALL I CAN ASSUME IS THE THIS WAS PAST THE TIME WHEN THEY WERE TRANSITIONING FROM "THE U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY" TO "WESTERN GERMANY" AS ALL HALLMARKS DO SO INDICATE
    "WESTERN GERMANY" AS THEIR ORIGIN. THE BOX DOES HAVE SOME TAPE ON THE SEAMS AN THISM TAPE WAS PLACED HERE TO PREVENT THE FLAPS FROM FALLING OFF.
    ON THE REAR TOP SECTION OF THIS BUS YOU HAVE
    A
    SWITCH W
    HICH
    WILL STOP THE STRONG CLOCKWORK
    MOTOR
    FROM DISCHARGING AND ALLOW YOU 3 VARIABLE FORWARD SPEEDS IN WHICH TO TRAVEL. ALL OF THESE FUN
    CTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY EDITION MAKING IT A RARER MODEL AND MUCH MORE DESIRABLE THEN EVEN THE WESTERN GERMANY MODELS!
    THIS
    BUSES BODY AND CHASSIS ARE IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE CONDITION/SHAPE. YES, THERE
    ARE ONE OR TWO VERY, VERY S
    HALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES MOSTLY LOCATED ON THE BUMPERS. BUT, ONE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THIS A MISSION TO EVEN LOCATE THESE!
    YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SCHUCO VARIANTO
    ~BUSES (MODEL 3044) THAT IS USED AND THAT IS MORE COMPLETE OR IN BETTER ALL AROUND CONDITION THEN THIS ONE HERE.
    I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY 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! THIS
    SCHUCO
    BUS
    WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL AND WITH JUST A LITTLE
    DILIGENCE
    EXERCISED YOU WILL GET AS MANY YEARS OF
    USE AND PL
    EASURE O
