This is the 980 Peterbilt 359 Wrecker - Blue w/ Eagle in 1:43 scale by IXO.
The 1980 Peterbilt 359 Wrecker stands as an icon of American heavy-duty recovery, combining the rugged durability of the legendary 359 chassis with the brute strength of a custom-built towing and recovery setup. What set it apart from its competition was its combination of a long-nose, hand-crafted aluminum cab and a powerful diesel engine—often a Cummins or Caterpillar—delivering unmatched torque and reliability. With its polished chrome, twin stacks, and commanding presence, the 359 Wrecker wasn’t just a workhorse—it was a rolling symbol of pride for operators, offering performance, longevity, and style that set the gold standard in the towing industry.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
