That is one of the unsung great cars. There were several versions of it, including one with a universal guide that allowed the car to spin around and go the opposite direction. I'm not sure what that was for, but it is fun to pull out and surprise people with it. There were lighted versions, some with functioning brake lights, lots of different liveries, etc. They take paint very well, and That 1:1 car had dozens to choose from.
With very little effort, the body can be shaped to make a very good scale racer, and the interior space under the body is a cavern, so you can do all kinds of things with it. I saw one with two counter rotating motors, and you could not tell at all from above. I saw one painted to look like the Batmobile in a magazine once.
