Looks to me like the one that Bob posted is a center deck (mid-deck) deal while the race boat doesn't appear to have that. Perhaps added later?
Good eye. It is possable that the center deck was added. When you look at the race boat it has braces where the center deck would be. It is possible that a center deck was added, IF IT IS THE SAME BOAT. The braces may have saved weight over having a center deck.Quote:

But it sure has more appeal with the hemi and six 2s then any SBC, regardless the power that mini hemi made.

I hope Vin is not in any of these. ;)
