1967 Wilco (Hess) \"Voyager\" Tanker EXCELLENT Condition w/Box For Sale

Up for sale is a 1967 Wilco (Hess) \"Voyager\" tanker ship. For the diehard collectors, there were 4 different tanker ships that Marx toys produced. The first was the famous Hess Voyager, Service (Servco), Wilco, Travelers and the \"generic\" Marx tanker. This is an EXCELLENT example of the Wilco tanker, sold at the stations for Christmas, 1967, 1 year behind Hess.
First I will go over the boat. Everything is complete and original, masts, flag, radar, rudder and prop. Some are pure white, and some are discolored, but they ARE original. The light on the port (left) side red bulb is missing. The lifeboat on the port side is also missing and the port stack decal is missing. Overall I would say that the ship is an overall 9. The D-cell battery holder, battery card and all inserts are there.
The box is also in 8.5- 9 condition. There are splits on the corners, but they do not take away from the sturdiness of the box. The blue bottom has a hand sized \'crush\" where an adult must have grabbed it and squeezed a little too tightly.
Those of you that know me, know the investment quality trucks I sell. My reputation speaks for itself. This INVESTMENT QUALITY ship is out of my personal collection which I have had over 30 years. Health issues are forcing me to sell off my collection.
I have been collecting Hess trucks for over 45 years, and this is only the SECOND Wilco boat I have ever seen! Let alone complete with the box and all accessories.
Shipping in the US will be a flat rate of $35.00 which will include insurance and signature confirmation. That is the ONLY way I will ship it. If you would like to pick it up in NJ, please let me know BEFORE you pay, and I will change the shipping to zero. I would also be willing to deliver it within 100 miles for $30.00 gas money.
I encourage questions so that you will have them answered honestly, because this is an ALL SALES FINAL/ NO RETURN sale. Please feel free to send questions, I\'ll be more than happy to answer them as quickly as possible.
Yes, there is a high starting price, but I DARE you to find another one!!! Please, let\'s not insult each other by offering \"low-ball\" prices to end this sale early...we both know how rare this is!!
Thanks for looking, and good luck!!!
