I will have to admit, that when I first saw the green and purple Camaro that I thought of the Joker's henchmen cars from the Michael Keaton Batman movie. Below is a photo of those cars from the Internet Movie Car Database (http://www.imcdb.org)

However the more I look at the car, I get a Hanna-Barbera cartoon racing car vibe from it. In fact, the color scheme reminds me of the Grape Ape.

Either way, I like that it stands out on the track.

Wanted a classic look for my VTA and the VW GTI are painted like WW2 German fighter planes.

I did a P-51 Mustang Slash a couple of years ago. Had the Normandy invasion stripes on it as well. Looked good. Those are classic schemes.

I think that CSeils has Terlingua decals to go with your new body, RobertsMustang.

I was just pondering the possible reasons why the Vaterra classic Camaro and Mustang are not on the legal bodies list. Has RobK commented anywhere in either thread? Will the shells fit properly on a USVTA chassis? I guess they would still be legal for USGT.
