Original hemi dart information

Liteweight, I got a question for you, do you think that there is a possibility that there were 'two' 68 Hemi Darts called Wildfire? I ask this because I recall someone here having a old conversation with you about that car posted earlier in this thread, they either owned it or once knew of it or something like that, but I don't recall all the facts that they stated about it...Anyway my question is did you ever notice the blue & white Wildfire Hemi Dart had a full loop 5 point roll cage in it, and the red & silver Hemi Dart looks like it had a three point roll bar in it...didn't Hennessey say it had a three point roll bar originally, and the guy that stripped the paint on your Hemi Dart thought the car was Red & Silver...so who ever owned this '68 Hemi Dart then, why would they switch back to three point roll bar after repainting the car, does that make any sense to anyone? Here are some old before & after shots of the Wildfire L023 Hemi Dart...maybe it's just the angle of the photo in the last pic, and it's not showing all of the 5 points of the roll cage...but it sure looks like a three point roll bar to me.
