There were some good stories about that race and someone on the Web has a neat story of how a parts counterman related the story to him. Rumor back then was it was for 250k. A recent interview of Ronnie Lyle's widow confirmed the amount which even today seems absurd! I only saw the "Mutt Bros" Dart twice, but it made me a big believer of Mopar power that I worked & waited 35 years to be able to play with a similiar car!
