seifrob,
Yes there are now two Centurions at CrazyJerry's place. The gray one with the skirts (that surpassed 200 mpg at Watkins Glen Green Grand Prix in 2014, 2015 and 2016) is taking a break for awhile.

The latest one (Gold in color) is in fact the original Centurion (designed by R.Q. Riley) that appeared on the cover of the February 1982 Edition of Mechanix Illustrated and then went on to be a background car in the 1990 movie version of "Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a bit of a mess right now but plans are to fully restore it as it was in 1982.
