1975 Chevy C-65 Fire Truck - Red w/ White (Highway 61) 1/16
Product Details Temp out of stock
The Chevrolet C-65 set the standard for short-cab trucks in the mid 1970s. The 97-1/2" BBC (Bumper-to-Back-of-Cab) allowed bigger payload, longer body or trailer, good weight distribution and ease of maneuvering. Short-hood design aided down-front visibility as well, and put the 230 horsepower, 427 V-8 engine components within easy reach for maintenance and repair. As lasting tribute to the rugged engineering of the GMC version 6000 Sierra and companion Chevy C-65 model, is that many of these trucks are still on the job today!
The Highway 61 Collectibles C-65 Fire Truck is a highly-detailed 1:16 replica over 18-1/2" long. Features include opening storage compartments, working ladders, soft hoses, firefigthing tools, steerable front wheels, opening hood and doors, and fully plumbed and wired 427 'big-block' V-8 engine.

American muscle cars of the 1960s and early 1970s represent the high-water mark of factory-built performance in automotive history. Insurance surcharges, emissions regulations, and the 1973 oil crisis combined to end the original muscle car era almost overnight. Today these vehicles are among the most actively collected American automobiles, with exceptional examples regularly achieving six-figure prices at major auctions.
