I wish but no. The other thing that was great about these cars, particularly in the 70s, was that they all looked very different. Every team was trying different things from an aero perspective to go faster. Even though the vast majority of the cars used DFV power, the cars themselves were all so unique and identifyable. I venture to say that if you painted all of the current F1 cars black, you would be hard pressed to identify one from the other.
