2001 UPS Ford Taurus Winston Cup NASCAR from Robert Yates Racing, Chassis #7 called The Mule. Built by Laughlin in 1990 as RYR primary road race car for Davey Allison. 358ci Ernie Elliott built Ford V8 with 800hp @8700 rpm, G- Force transmission, and a $4000 Braswell carburetor, Dr Gas headers which meet 100 db at most tracks. Davey won Sonoma in 1991 and Ernie Irvin won Sonoma in 1994. This car ran 21 Winston Cup races. The car was rebodied in 1999 as Taurus Ford Quality Care Car and Dale Jarrett won his championship with this car. In 2000 the livery was changed to UPS with Dale Jarrett as the driver.
Robert Yates says: " This car has possibly the most significant history of any of our cars and definitely has the longest career of any car that we have had." I have letters of authenticity from Robert Yates and crew chief Larry McReynolds.
In 1996 Robert Yates Racing took this car with Dale Jarrett as the driver to East Portion Suzuka in a non-championship race. Qualified 6th and finished 13th. Did not run Japan in 1997. In 1998 the car ran the Coke Cola 500 at Twin Ring Motegi with Darrell Waltrip as the driver. Qualified 5th and finished 24th. In 2000 the car was purchased by Ron Huber and vintaged raced all over the country. Ron took the car to t 2002 Goodwood Festival of Speed and set a speed of 53.66 and finished first. In 2003 Goodwood used a photo of the car in their flyer. This car has been vintage road raced all over the country and I have won many races with it.
I have lots of spares that go with the car including wheels, tires, Jericho transmission, 4 rear end ratio 3rd members, axels, front and rear springs, sway bars, 6 piston Brembo front brake rotors, and 4 piston Wilwood rear brake rotors and brake pads. Many small parts for general maintenance and upkeep of the car.
