7000in5th Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Back in the '70's, my job at International Trucks included supplying data to toy and model manufacturers. Ertl was one we worked with frequently but time and distance have clouded my memory concerning one of the models in my collection. I remember that Ertl wanted to do a 1:64 model of our new setback axle cabover, the 9700, so they showed up with the model resin prototype proposal shown below (#3). The model was so poor that we rejected it. Here is where the story fades. The #2 prototype casting model was a much better model, and is also in my collection. Even though it has tires with Ertl logos, I do not remember that it made it into production. Also, I can't find any evidence of its existence on the internet. So the question is, does anyone have a 1:64 Ertl 9700 in their collection or have you ever seen one or have any suggestions about a good forum that has 1:64 truck experts? I have tried one forum without much luck. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
