    Any idea what he paid for it, and what typical prices for something like that would be?

    The blue version of that car is the standard issue. They are both from around 1976. The blue one has the same design but different colors in the design. There is also a chrome version of this that came out, 1977 IIRC. Ironically, the green one is the less common version, but HW collectors were starting to catch on by then, and the green ones tended to get saved while the blue ones tended to get chipped up because they were played with, so now finding a blue one in great shape is less common than finding a nice rare green one. Confused yet? ....

    There also is decals and paint available out there and it is possible make a "perfect" copy of this ... the main way to tell is that the design on the original is paint, not a decal.
