Close... The car had a removable torsion bar rack in the rear of the car, one that was longer for the big car races and one that was short for the sprint car races. The motor plate also moved forward or rear. He ran very very few sprint races witht he car.
The car was also painted just like Toby's car was 25 years before. The sprint tail (35 gallon) is in the EMMR museum.
