1/64 Caballero twin

[CaballeroCanuck]

I've owned my '78 GMC Caballero Laredo since new. In that time, I've only seen one other one in the same color, and that was over 40 years ago. Imagine my surprise when I found my Caballero as a 1/64th scale diecast model. It's a '78, it's a Caballero, it's a Laredo, and it has a cap painted to match. Naturally, I had to have one.

I have a 78 Caballero the same color. A friend bought it new, and I bought it from her in 1982. Been driving it ever since. Best vehicle I ever owned.

Short story. My daughter wrecked it 6 years ago. Hit a Ford pickup straight on with the left headlight. The transmission was already bad, so it just sat. Recently, I started repairing it. Sitting that long with alcohol fuel made a real mess. Carb problems, fuel tank and sender problems, fuel pump problems, etc. I found a Turbo 475 trans on ebay and converted to that. Still dealing with fuel system issues. I will see if I have pictures. Vehicle has 350 engine (145 hp), p/s, p/db, fm stereo, power ant., full gauges, power windows, safety sentinel system, 2.41 rear. 415,000 mi. Heads never off.
