I found it in my parents basement after mom passed away, along with about 50 or 60 other brand new models. I think this is the only semi though

http://cgi.ebay.com/AMT-629-Internat...item53deec3c4a Here's the conventional model of the Transtar.Bought one of these new in 1977,not the model the real truck.Was even the same color scheme as this.Had a NTC-350 Cummins small cam,RTO-12513 trans,and lousy IHC RA-355 rear ends.Just a hair over $40k back then.Drove that truck over a million miles,stretched the 200" wheelbase 35" and added SQHD Rockwells with air-ride.In 1986 I removed the drivetrain and built a new IHC Black 4300 glider,with a 72" raised roof sleeper.Drove that one another 900k and sold the truck.Bought my current truck,1995 IHC 9300 Eagle,Viper Red, 72" raised roof with a Cummins N-14 525,15 Spd overdrive,with N-400 40k rears.Don't drive much anymore,truck only has 570k on it,barely broken in.Doing my books for the year,only ran 11,700 miles in 09.Probably drive the Chevelle and Elky more than that.
