It's not as if it is like these days with a V8 Supercar being built from a blueprint. The falcon and commodore are shortened by approx 100mm through the rear door section.
The commodore is actually shorter Falcon is the same and the 100mm is out of the front guard have a closer look and once you do its pretty obvious.

I have read numerose stories regarding the dodgy enginering of cars (not dodgy quality but rule bending Dodgy)
I have herd if you look at the chassis in a lot of HDT commodores from the early ATCC days youmight find the chassis rails in a totally different "factory location"
I also remember the Texico searias running a wider front end at bathurst and when they were disqualified Brocky took out his belated 9th Victory (RIP 05)

If anyone can let me know the years that this ran at the mountain and I will do a search in the Libary (I work for the company that does the great race book and AMC) and see if there is any file pictures I can dig up
