It's my understanding there were two cars originally. The Hemi powered one was driven by someone else, not Arnie. It was not uncommon for big name drivers to have more than one car and have a 2nd or 3rd driver. These drivers participated in the then very popular match race circuit, and the more cars you had, the more bookings you could fulfill. Jungle Jim did the same thing. As to why the die-cast doesn't have the Hemi? I'm sure Arnie had a say in that, and a Pontiac mill in there would sell better, especially amongst the Pontiac faithfull fans.
