Did you get it from him already? I saw people discussing it on Facebook and it's currently for sale on eBay....

I was one of the people on the facebook post. I sent him the paypal payment this morning. He said he was shipping it out today.

Yeah I went searching ebay after you said that. I didn't think he had it up yet. Said he was going to if it didn't sell. But I talked to him late last night and confirmed the sale and sent him the paypal money. I'm sure he will pull through

It's a later Championship Edition circa 1992-ish, not 1985 like the eBay description says. The Stealth transmission, black shock caps and green springs, and Team Car front shock tower are indicators. The very last batches apparently came with black arms and possibly Viper bodies that this one doesn't have.

The box art never changed IIRC, just had stickers indicating what updates were inside.

That 'correct' Protech II body doesn't look too bad and it's still unpainted. Why buy another one already?
