Default Hey gmbchef, you ain't gonna believe this! Do you recognize this car?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/51154/greenurq.jpg"></center><p>I was crusin' thru some old Road&amp;Tracks at my parents house lookin for Urq stuff when I found this article from Vol 35, #11 July 1984. Of course its tough to identify because the pic is B&amp;W. The color of the car is Lhasa green with matching color Ronals and a Tresser wing! It's the first Abt conversion (which by the way cost $6740 back in 1984. It's got every goodie Abt had in their parts bin at the time. Mods include cam, head ported and polished, modified turbo, adjustable boost control, bigger valves, and a hydraulic suspension. The article claims at 14.5 psi it is producing 260hp. It's a promotion car for ABT. This can't be the same car that was at Lime Rock last year, is it?
