Description from the seller
Lego Technic #8860 Chassis, Original packaging, 100% complete.
LEGO Technic 8860 Auto Chassis (also known as Car Chassis) from 1980 is regarded as one of the most significant milestones and an absolute cult classic in the history of LEGO Technic. As the flagship model of the “Expert Builder” line at the time, it set new standards for all subsequent LEGO supercars with its revolutionary mechanical functions for that era.
Set number: 8860-1
Name: Auto Chassis / Car Chassis
Theme: LEGO Technic (Expert Builder)
Year of release: 1980 (sold until about 1988)
Number of parts: 668 parts (according to the original packaging) or 669 individual parts
Dimensions: approximately 50 cm long and 28 cm wide.
The model completely omits a closed body to showcase the complex and realistic mechanical functions from all angles. The color scheme consists of the classic LEGO primary colors black, yellow, red, blue, and gray.
The chassis offers an extraordinary array of real automobile functions.
Rear engine: A fully functional air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer engine (principle of the VW Beetle or Porsche 356). The yellow pistons move up and down when pushing the car along the crankshaft.
Gear shifting: A fully functioning manual 2-gear transmission with neutral, easily expandable to 3 gears.
Rear axle differential: A real differential at the rear axle ensures rotational speed balance in corners.
Independent rear suspension: The set introduced the then-new real LEGO shocks (suspension elements) on a leaf suspension.
Rack-and-pinion steering: The steering wheel in the cockpit precisely controls the front axle, with geometry that accommodates different turning radii for inner and outer wheels.
Adjustable seats: The two bucket seats in the cockpit can be adjusted in incline via a side gear (reclining seats) and moved forward and backward along rails.
The original packaging (with insert and lid), the instruction manual, and the bricks themselves are in near-pristine condition. The set is 100% complete. It will be shipped as shown in the pictures.
Insured shipping with tracking number.
