Actually I think it was the car used in the scene where he runs off the road into the pond.
The car in picture is the "Teakettle Special" built by John McCann using a MG TD chassis with a Mistral fiberglass body. Engine was a small block chevy. The car was named for it's propensity to overheat, it was raced in the early 60's. You are correct in the fact of it being used as a stand in for the 427 Cobra Elvis drove into a pond in the movie Spinout.
