Box has actions listed on lid and large illustrations on both sides of cap-loading methods. Box has overall moderate wear with color loss along edges, creases, paper loss areas on one end and small torn corner at one side. Despite defects, box still would display Fine and is quite graphic.

Toy has the following actions: engine noise, blinking lights and a cap-firing gun which protrudes from the windshield and moves back and forth when firing. The elaborate cap-firing mechanism was never used and is revealed by lifting the trunk lid.
