i think i am looking at the dark blue one.it has been painted over in yellow.will it come off with out damaging the plastic though...i think he'll have to give me the go ahead on this if i am to attempt a proper resto on it.it's the solid rivet chassis,stock with the skinnies on the back.

drop it in spic-n-span or pine sole for a day or two, and give it a toothbrush rubbing and see how clean it comes out, sometimes their near perfect. the Blue Cheetah is my second favorite, behind the red.....I never saw the Pink one, Joez must have them all.
