I wonder how much $$$ Toyota had to slide across the table at the NHRA office, to get this car, which is looking more like a Factory GT/"Paper Tiger" car, into the NHRA Classification Guide?

I don't see where the 6 cyl. Toyo block has the traditional GM RWD bell housing pattern. So how much did the adapter...I mean safety shield cost and who paid for it? Is it commonly available now?

(Question for Bobby to ask)
