I am jealous, as I have been trying to get one of those for the longest time. I was able to get a decent built up a few months ago at our NNL.
It is mostly there, except that it has 1975 Caprice wheelcovers, and the chrome is a little weak. I should be able to remove the paint from it without much of a hassle. Like I wrote, yours is beautiful, and too nice for what I am going to do to this one.
My Mom bought one of these on Memorial Day, 1974. I believe that I can do this one out of the Caprice. It's in line withthe other projects. I'll have to draw up the plans, and gather the supplies I need to do the conversion.
I can't wait to see what you do with the '74 Caprice.
Thanks Ron, I really loved seeing this Caprice still sealed in the bag. I will probably build it factory stock or as the tow car version shown on the box...
I like your 74 Caprice...

I picked up this Kenworth K-123 from the early 70's from the flea market yesterday for $10.00 with all the parts still in the bags but it is missing one steel axle but even the decals are in nice shape, the chrome all looks really nice but I took those out out of the plastic bag they came in because the bags are yellow due to age/smokers and I wanted to see just what kind of shape that the chrome was in.
One of my best Second hand scores yet.

I got a small packet of Pocher parts from Model Motorcars Ltd. First time i've dealt with them. Excellent product and excellent to deal with.
These guys have some very tempting product for enhancing Pocher kits.

Yup, fuel pump. Second one in 1 1/2 years (first one was my truck). Cut a hole in the bed for that one, too bad I couldn't do that this time too. LOL

If you plan to build that and don't use the Dolphins and/or Steelers decals I'd like to take them off your hands.
IF anyone has the NFC version decals, I'd like the Detroit Lions decals if you're not using them...
