HERE I AM OFFERING A VINTAGE SCHUCO ELEKTRO AMPHIBIO (IN BLUE) WHICH IS FULLY TESTED.
THIS UNIQUE CAR IS ALSO KNOWN AS AN AMPHICAR HERE IN THE STATES. AS IT DRIVES ON THE ROAD (LEGALLY) AND IS ALSO CAPABLE TO DRIVE INTO THE WATER AND OPERATE AS A BOAT.
THE OFFERING HERE HAS A NICE GERMAN REPRODUCTION BOX AS PICTURED.
BELOW IS A VIDEO I CREATED A COUPLE OF SUMMERS AGO ON MY BACK/REAR DECK. PLEASE TAKE THE ADDITIONAL TIME TO VIEW THIS VIDEO AS IT DOES SHOW YOU HOW THESE SCHUCO NR. 5560 AMPHIBIO OPERATE IN AND OUT OF THE WATER ......
XXXXXXXXXX
AS YOU HAVE JUST VIEWED THE ABOVE VIDEO (HOPEFULLY) YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY HOW NICE THESE MODEL 5560 REALLY ARE.
I DID NOTICE THAT IN THE VIDEO, I CLAIMED THAT THE BOX WAS AN ORIGINAL BOX ... THIS IS INCORRECT AS IT IS NOT ORIGINAL ...IT IS A REPRODUCTION BOX WHICH WAS/IS MADE IN GERMANY. SORRY FOR THAT .......
FURTHERMORE, I AM SURE THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT THE VIDEO IS THAT OF A RED 5560 AND HERE I AM OFFERING UP MY BLUE 5560.
AT THIS TIME, MY SWIMMING POOL IS A LARGE ICE CUBE AS IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER HERE IN RHODE ISLAND AND MY POOL IS "WINTERIZED" FOR THE SEASON.... HENCE, NO VIDEO OF THIS BLUE MODEL IN WATER.
I WILL SAY THAT I AM SURE THAT THIS BLUE 5560 WILL WORK IDENTICALLY TO THE NOW SOLD RED 5560 IF AND WHEN IT'S EVER FLOATED.
THIS 5560 HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN APART AND NO REPAIRS HAVE EVER BEEN PERFORMED ON IT ..... AS NONE WERE EVER NEEDED.... IT IS 100% ORIGINAL, LESS IT'S REPRODUCTION GERMAN MADE BOX.
AN IMPORTANT ITEM TO NOTE IS THAT THIS EXAMPLE HAS THE ORIGINAL GREY SHIELD AROUND THE CHASSIS REAR END OR "GEARS" (AS PICTURED). ALSO THE ROOF OR "LID" STILL HAS THE FRONT LOCKING RECEIVER WHICH ALLOWS THE LID TO "LOCK" DOWN SO IT IS SECURELY ATTACHED AND HELD ONTO THE BODY. MORE OFTEN THEN NOT, FOLKS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPEN THIS MODEL TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND PULL THIS OPEN, HENCE BREAKING THIS DELICATE PLASTIC TAB.
HERE, REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CENTER FRONT SPOTLIGHT 180 DEGREES TO "UNLOCK" THE LID, THEN LIFT UP THE FRONT AND THEN PULL SLIGHTLY FORWARD WHILE GENTLY LIFTING THIS LID UP AND OFF OF THE BODY ... THE REAR OF THIS LID TUCKS INTO PLACE AND SIMPLY PULLS OUT WHEN LIFTED UP AND FORWARD.
AS NOTED ABOVE THAT THIS PARTICULAR SCHUCO 5560 IS BLUE IN COLOR. THEY ALSO MADE THIS EXACT SAME 5560 IN RED (AS VIDEOED). THIS BLUE 5560 MODEL IS BY FAR RARER THEN THE EVER SO RARE RED EDITION.
