I was told that it was destroyed but Jack Roush was building a clone/tribute car awhile back. The new car may have a few parts on it from the original from what I heard.

At one point in time that car was street raced in the North Jersey area. At one point it had a Hemi in it!

Perhaps you can explain some of these rules that were bent, or should I say were accused of, for those of us that didn't read any of those stories from back then...

Those cars were already 5 years old when raced. Longer wheelbase met the then pound per cubic inch rule/weight breaks to a better advantage.

Moose,, I knew you'd come through with a vintage photo,, love the rare shot of Mardy Maltais' Monza too. Mardy's car was a beautiful piece of work,, it blew us away the first time we saw it at Seattle, and he had an equally nice Vega before that. Eventually he moved on to Funny Cars.
I found some recent shots of the former Yuill car on the Bremerton Raceway site, courtesy of See It Imagery, but they are copyrighted, so I'm not able to post them I guess.
