Here's from the horses mouth. Could be the same car.

Guys; There is lots of confusion on Doug’s Long cars.This car was built for Doug while I was living in CA. with the “66 Long car we raced together that year. In “67 he and the late Gary Allen Peterson debut the famous “poster car” with the Bob Sorrell body, Gary stayed behind, while Doug and Vern Anderson reunited in Minnesota. That car was sold to “Broadway Freddie”. This “68 car was run in CA. and MN. with Ron Manke driving in spring, but when he went back to CA., Vern Anderson drove the rest of that year, when it was sold to Hansel & Sherwin from Winnipeg who ran it in “69 with a 426 w/ torqueflight in A/D for several years, then disappeared. There was also a “69 car that was run 3/4 of the season, then sold to Bruce Ross in Mpls.
The “68 car in question, to my knowledge has sat since about “72-74 in Canada, and has been for sale for at least 5 years, and I have no idea where it went, or where the nose is.
In regard to the floater Ford housing, I built over 150 housings for Lenco to be installed by customers. I also built at least 75 more for direct buy customers with Meyer stamped on top, instead of Lenco, but never BOTH !
The “66 car which I brought back to Mpls. in “68, fitted the “Der Weinerschnitzel” tail piece (which I won in a poker game from Nicol) and built a nose, was sold to Rowe & Jones from Iowa and can be found on Don’s site.
