WoW!!! Neat.

Never seen them. like the Box

They were afraid the toy inside was "jinxed" by the box so it was never touched.

These were called "steering rigs" by hotwheels introduced in the late seventies,early eighties,in addition to the U-model,there were also a GMC General,LTL and CL-9000 Ford,and of course the "brand-x" peterbilt and KW............as you prolly guessed,these command quite a price with collectors nowadays. The Mack is especially hard to find in good condition,i lucked out with mine,got it at a yard sale...........................Mark
