Ford Gas-Turbine Van Friction Motor M.K.K. Japan with Reproduction Box
Ford Gas-Turbine Van Friction Motor by M.K.K. Powered by a friction motor. Quality construction, heavy gauge metal. A nicely constructed reproduction box.
Known as the Ford Gas Turbine, Experimental Superhighway Truck, this vehicle was designed to be the cutting edge of hauling transportation efficiency in 1964. It featured 600 H.P. and a cruising range of 600 miles.
Our featured toy is in lightly played with condition, strong friction motor and opening rear trailer door. It’s missing one light from the roof of the trailer (at the moment. I’ll see if I can find it or make a new replacement.) This is an extremely collectible toy and had to come by in such nice shape.
