Not sure what color it will get but I have a clue.

That's always been a casting with an interesting history to me. They really got their money's worth with the tooling. First of all, it was introduced in the late '70s as a motorhome, then in the early '80s it became a "Space Shuttle Ground Tracking Vehicle" with a radar dish on the roof and NASA lettering. Then, in the late '80s and early '90s, it became an airport fire truck with a roof nozzle before finally being retired in the late '90s.
