As I remember the story the guy that had the engine wanted to buy the car, but the guy who owned it wouldn't sell. When the guy who owned the engine couldn't buy the car he built the clone. I saw the clone once at an ISCA show and it appeared to be a very well done car. I believe the clone ended up in Todd Werner's collection. I mention the clone to Tim one time when I talked to him. I believe he had heard about the clone but wasn't sure about the engine being the original one out of #62.
