Not really sure if this goes here or the Buggy section.
Well to make a long story short. I thought this was throw out when my parents cleaned their garage. Last week I was helping my dad move an old work bench and there it was underneath.

I think its the Championship Edition. I would say it was run about 5 times in the street and then it had gotten lost.

love that old body! ford f100? the rc10 look's in great condition are you thinking of removing the paint from the chassis?

The chassis is just raw finish, I think I stripped it before I built it.

Its actually a chevy body, but I wish I could strip the paint and make it a different color.

just buy a new body. you can still get one new from parma.

Wow, I love it! Talk about a time capsule.

I don't know... I would leave it just the way it is.

Actually it should be the same color as the shocks.

Here is a close up of the bottom. Its pretty oxidized. I tried to get a close up so you could see the reflection of my arm, but it doesn't show up that well.

This is actually the buggy. Since I am a rookie I posted it here because of the truck body. Maybe this should have been in the buggy section. I am going to just clean it up and maybe give it a test run before I retire it to the shelf.

Here is a pic of the original box and body. I always knew where these were so I was always bummed out that I couldn't find the truck.

I love that buggies color!!

Let's see what it looks like as a buggy.
Do you have the wing for it also?

Great find BTW!!

Very cool. I don't normally see rear sway bars on these, were they offered as an option by AE?
