My son (70cstjr) has been looking for the above truck for some time since it will complete my Highway 61 collection. Some how he found this site in France and they had one last Black model left. So it is now leaving France and heading for the GREAT state of Ohio. Life is good. Thanks 70cstjr! :lol:

Great,let's start the party!
Now what is it?

Highway 61 is a company that puts out some very nice diecast models.The one I believe 70cst is talking about matches his username ;).
Stay away from their 67 1/2 ton though,they just slapped a 67 looking grill on the 70 and called it good.

Well it's about time you found one. I've been keeping my eyes open for one, but man they are hard to find. Glad to hear he was able to find one and complete his collection.

i found my black 72 and posted some picks

That's the same one I have... it's a very detailed model.

You took it out of the box and touched it? There goes the value....;)

i actually found it from a search i did of the model number, it was on like page 7 of my google search i found an ebay auction from france(in french) so i emailed the seller, they have a website(all in french) but after talking and breaking the language barrier they told me they had one left and i was only afraid of what they may be asking for it. they wanted 77.91 euros including shipping which is roughly $119.53 USD for those collecting the highway 61 line that is actually somewhat reasonable seeing what some of the hard to find ones bring on ebay. So i think my dad got a great deal. I think that brings his final total to 8 maybe? i think thats how many they made total. oh well good job

Thanks for the pictures 463. It's amazing that 70cstjr had to find this HWY 61 model in France?
