Some claimed Smokeys car was a 15/16 version of the Chevelle. Regardless, knowing Smokey, I am certain that there was some rule bending going on. "Just gettin competitive" is what he said; I think it was in regard to the fuel tank size rule. He DID run the correct size, but then snaked a 1/2 inch fuel line all around the underside of the car, so he would in effect have an extra gallon of gas.
EDIT: OK, so I am a little late to the party. I had not read all the other posts about this car when I posted. I always go back to the last post I viewed on this thread and read forward.
