Vintage 1976 19inch Tonka Van RARE

[HamptonBallance]

i have one, it is an old ambulance, but it isnt in good condition

[WolvesInferno]

Never seen this van before. I can imagine the amount of fun you could have with it, fitting action figures in it and what not. Great music as well.

[le0n96]

are they lead free paint



[sonicsteev]

good choice in tunes!

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

i got one too, except mine is brown!

[grumm70]

i had a huge white camper van in 1977,

my 4 older sisters wrecked it pulling each other 

[hop21537]

@grumm70 in the early 70s i as well had the winnabago camper, it was mint. it was as tough, i was not a wicked kid but i used it. i gave it to a toy drive in the late 80s, in box, with extremly rare camper kit, i bet someone would pull a couple hundred out of it, it was worth much more to me.

you should make a figure roadtrip stopmotion

[TheShadowLeader]

lol lokks like the TNMT need to go tonka

[sirsaulsanch]

I saw Tonka van like this in the trash about a week ago, I turned my car around and picked it up. I plan on restoring it somehow. Thought it was a neat van

[BrickerStudios]

It's not pressed steel, is die-cast.

[TheKillerComicz]

when i first seen it i thought of the old mystery machine on scooby doo lol

[rrrrmagic]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AUTORECOVERYUK]

This is when Tonka toys were made of metal were strong and they didnt break. Now they are made with plastic parts. Why did they do that. Tonka was allways the strongest toys you could buy in the 70's. Great video.

[EbayFigureReviews777]

Im sure they stopped using metal to cut down on shipping costs or because plastic is cheaper and more readily available compared to metal or die cast.

[killratoss]

they were stronger but still no match for a half stick!

[68trace]

my husband still has his from his childhood!

[smandic]

why did you sell this? it rocks were you broke? lol

[EbayFigureReviews777]

yes. =(

[589powerranger]

cool

[RadAlly]

I have one of these that my mom found in the trash. Its kind of rusty but its the EXACT one in your video. I am thinking about selling it on Ebay also.

[EbayFigureReviews777]

Try to clean it up a bit, and it should sell for a nice penny. I sold this one in the video, I think the end bid was like $38.00 plus shipping. not toooo bad. Could have been better, but thats 38 I didnt have before =) I discoverd they made a black version of this. I wouldnt mind getting, and maybe reselling.

[mooman999999]

@EbayFigureReviews777

I have one of those black ones and it's in pretty good shape too. not sure what i'm going to do with it yet but i'm keeping it for now.

[alterman156]

Great toy. A child's imagination could run wild with this toy. I could imagine all of the fantasy trips children would take playing with these vintage Tonka vans.

[pedromota00]

very cool the "bus"

[chrisdaco22]

I had one of these in '77. Mine was rust colored had graphics depicting a sunset. Great toy, had it until I was about 12 , can't remember what I did with it.

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

i got one too, except mine is brown.... nice vann too, going to return my childhood memories by recollecting my stuff again

[EbayFigureReviews777]

its allways nice to have a blast from the past.

[nx2overide]

That is the coolist van ever!

[FillingtheVoidReview]

Toy cars were so much better when they were made of metal and not cheap plastic.

[EbayFigureReviews777]

btw anyone interested,,I did put this up for sale on ebay..starting bid $30.00 1 person has bid so far,,6 days left hurry!! =)

[XboxlivenoFuTure4U]

Great review. i loved the old metal tonkas when i was a kid. they were perfect scale for 3 3/4 inch GIjoe figures so those dudes were always rolling ten deep in a dump truck.

[undeadplastic]

It would be awesome for 3 inch figs too.

[EbayFigureReviews777]

they wouldnt be able to see over the steering wheel though lol.

[ScourgeDestroya]

Great vid bud. It's always fun to relive childhood memories.

For the chrome bumper, if you have a trophy or award shop in your area (somewhere that makes or sells trophies, medals awards etc etc).

They can give it a fresh coat of chrome, not sure how much it will cost you.

However you will need to take off all the original paint, because the chrome needs a smooth and even surface so it will stick.

Hope that helps ya!

[EbayFigureReviews777]

hmmm,,,interesting...cool thanks for the heads up =)

[greenboy07]

so, will this be used in a video?

[EbayFigureReviews777]

mmmm..not sure yet. I still absolutly have to get the channel 6 news van. But this could still somehow find its way into a video.who knows
