Definitely Parma Chenowth. One of the last bodies I actually had on my first gold tub WAY back when.

Funny story about that car, now that I'm remembering. I worked at a little crappy hobby shop when I was 16 and sold that car to someone who was interested in a used RC10. I intended to buy a new car from the shop, but when the shop owner found out I sold my own "personal" car instead of his merchandise, he fired me on the spot. I actually laughed in his face and told him where he could go. I wound up working part time at a competing hobby shop a year or so later, and driving as much business away from him as I possibly could. Toad.




Actually, I'd like to have that car back now.

Oh, yeah, the point of that story...

I was 16 when I worked there—so the body was from about 1986 or so, if not a couple years earlier.

No, by "that car" I meant the car that I was referring to—my last gld tub that I raced as a kid.
