Distinction between the eighth and ninth series in the form of a front bumper and figure "08"
Old Yeller VIII is the most mysterious & obscure of the Old Yeller series. Based on a wrecked E-Type Jaguar, Max started building it as a personal street car for himself. He added a Chevy V8, reinforced the rear tub, and replaced the entire front sheetmetal shell. He also replaced the Jaguar independent rear suspension with one of his own design. (Max retrofitted two earlier Old Yellers with this IRS after previously running live axles on the cars.)
