And the condition is not that "great" as what it says in description.

If I remember correctly, there are multiple colored 'Stubby' tankers, the more plentiful yellow one, this harder to find blue one and 2 other colors that do not come to mind quickly. Red and green possibly?
From the coupling design, it should be until 1975, not 1976 as said in description. In 1975, the old coupling was still used and was transitioned to new type in 1976.
There was no red and green tankers like these during that time, blue only comes from Palitoy sets.
