Bidspirit auction | 1979 Shinsei Radio Elecon Peterbilt

1979 Shinsei Radio Elecon Peterbilt RC Auto Carrier Truck Boxed - Dating from 1979 as an exceptionally sophisticated Japanese-manufactured hobby release, this premium 1/24 scale Shinsei Radio Elecon Peterbilt RC Auto Carrier Truck survives complete with its original factory packaging. The heavy, high-end set features a conventional Peterbilt sleeper cab with a solid die-cast aluminum body finished in vibrant gloss red, coupled with a double-deck white auto transport trailer carrying custom ”Columbia Truck Line Company” livery. Engineered with advanced vintage electronics, the model features a fifth-wheel automatic coupling latch, flashing turn signals, digital proportional steering, and an authentic truck engine sound simulator. This remarkably well-preserved collector example is safely housed inside its factory styrofoam insert and original illustrated retail box, complete with the dual-joystick Radio Elecon digital proportional transmitter, factory instruction manual, and an unassembled tree of chrome-plated scale mirrors, custom grilles, and replacement assembly components. The electrical functions were not tested during cataloging, and the set is offered in electrically untested condition. The box measures approximately 26” L x 13” W x 5.5” H. Condition: VERY GOOD
