| Review Comment | If it was your first R/C car in the early 80s, this may hold significant value for you, the same too for a serious vintage R/C collector. |

The Taiyo Auto Wheelie Ford Ranger was released in 1983, as one of three 'Auto Wheelie' feature Taiyo R/C vehicles. Others in the range included the Jeep Challenger and Mercedes Benz.
The 'Auto Wheelie' range will lift up on command, helped by the weight of the batteries right on the rear tray.
See the YouTube video below from Nordic RC Visions of the Jeep Challenger 'Auto Wheelie'.
