There was also another guy attempting to reproduce them for a while. Haven't heard much about that project lately.

That car must have been like being in a UFO back then!!
The yellow car in your photos is the #5 car, it's been blue, black and is now on at least its second time in yellow. The current restoration was completed by Autosport Designs in NY. It currently resides in the DC area.
The red car is the #2 car and was the high speed test car at Monza. It's had a couple restorations and is now Bittersweet Orange.
Here's a great resource for the cars
