Throwback Thursday-AJ Foyt-1981

dgf2099

AJ Foyt’s iconic #14 races at Indy, this time in the form of a Valvoline/Gilmore Coyote / Cosworth

Valvoline has a great shade of blue, which isn’t present in this scheme. Amazingly, that doesn’t really matter, since this is a damn good scheme! The shade of red is as perfect as you could ask for, and the white stripes look great up the sides. Giving this scheme anything less than an A would be a crime, and I’m no criminal!

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
