  • Kenner Zip Strip Pocket Pack 69 ChargerĀ 

    For many years have been searching for the variations of this model.
    The car is larger than 1/64 scale, slightly too long for a Jammers cube.
    It has a plastic body and diecast base. Far as I know, only two other
    models in this line were offered including a 69 Corvette and 69 Mustang.

    Here is the latest edition in blue.







    Also included was the carry case, the metal coil strip with plastic support and
    the instruction sheet.







    The wheels are specially designed for the launching coil strip.




    I tried the play value and it works. They dont make toys now like they used to.
    This coil strip has a sharp edge and I can see kids slapping each other with it.

    Four body colors are known on the 3 different models, blue, purple, red and green.
    In addition, white and black interiors are also found.

    So Im still searching for the other four interior variations ...

    Nice addition to your collection, especially with packaging and accessories. I know you've been collecting them for awhile now.

        Awesome! These don't come around often. I have a couple of the Vettes, if memory serves I think I got them from Harvestman. I have a couple playsets on watch at the 'bay, but they aren't cheap.
        The image file limits have been reset. Upper limits now are 100,000 when we have some images that exceed 5,000,000. I've set the pixels for no more than 1000 across the longest side, so if you resize to that all should be well. (The limits are larger than what I typically use, and my images turn out just fine, so I know it shouldn't be a problem)

        Thank you for your understanding.

            Sweet Chargers! I assume these are almost impossible to find in mint condition. I can't recall the last time I've seen one in hand.

              Yeah they are pricey, the blue with the accessories was a BIN for 40 bucks so I thought that was fair.

              The wing windows are delicate, the green and purple both have a damaged wing window.

                  Seeing that coiled track, I'm getting some very vague memories of something like that in our toy room as kids, and playing with the coil....makes me wonder if we had that toy as kids, it seems kind of a neat concept anyway. Congrats on your find, I imagine it is pretty rare to find a complete set these days.

                    WOW....that is so cool. Have never seen before.

                    Interesting way to make a car go across the floor.

                      These are so expensive and few and far between ... 3 more versions to go ...
                      Having all 8 in one place would be quite the accomplishment. Perhaps someday.
