Nah, m o s t l i k e l y it’s a purely cosmetic modification just for the ad. Had they done anything serious the engine lid would have been up.

The ad is from 1972, more or less.

Well, it is on a lift the normal body could never have taken without a lot of modification and the fuel filler is in the wrong place.
