IVES Standard Gauge 181 BODY Original Do you need parts? NO VARNISH Green

Description

THIS ITEM IS:
IVES # 181 Passenger car Body with Usable Parts, Original.
Used. Some clean and polish done on body. 4 good steps, 2 doors, interior light fixture, undercarriage frames, and body, all usable parts. I didn't want to unsolder as possibly someone wants the body. Where are you going to find original doors for sale..these originally had working latches, One still does. Original steps..etc.
****
Original parts look correct while repro parts can stick out like a sore thumb, but harder to find. Where would you find an original door, steps, etc?
I did some cleaning & waxing and some light green came off onto the cotton I used to polish...so, car is not varnished or the green would not have tinged the cloth. Many IVES cars suffered from Flaking.
.Some were varnished by owners later on to stop and stabilize the paint. Some feel IVES varnished some of their cars at the factory. IVES also noted for solder joints to come loose and re-soldering was fairly common and seen on the interior... See pictures
and study carefully for condition. I had difficulty in getting pictures to show the shine on the paint in different lighting conditions so pictures in the listing are a mix of different light. Pictures will over rule anything stated in listing. What you see is what you get....but just the car body here. The track and
Manufacture's
Hudson Portrait in back ground are NOT included.

ELECTRICAL ITEMS:
I try my best to test.  I do have a way to test things and won't say I can't test when something doesn't work. I'll disclose to you if it operates or not, as long as I know how the item is wired.
But I can't guarantee after shipping they will work the same as when tested for auction listing. If I don't know how to test something I'll explain that too.
