Notes on the cars:

  1. Coyote 67 ['67-1'] (AJ Foyt): New for AJ Foyt to drive at the 1967 Indy 500 as A.J. Foyt Enterprises' #14 Sheraton-Thompson entry. Foyt qualified fourth and won the race, his third win at the Speedway, after Parnelli Jones' STP Turbine expired within three laps of victory. Exactly how Foyt used this car during the season is still be determined, as he also used the older 1966 Coyote, a 1965 Lotus 38 and even a 1967 Eagle at different races in 1967. Photographs show that he used the 1967 car at Langhorne in June, at Riverside in November, and potentially at six other races. At the end of January 1968, the car was wrecked in a Goodyear tyre test at Phoenix. The car was next spied a year later in the background of a photograph of Eddie Kuzma building Foyt's 1969 Coyote, and it appears that the 1967 Indy 500 winner did not race again. Foyt still had the car in 1971, and was considering rebuilding it for Jim McElreath to use. A new Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum building was constructed in time for the 1976 Indy 500, and by 1979, the 1967 Coyote was on display, alongside the 1967 STP Turbine.
  2. Lola T92 [SL92/4] (Al Unser): New to John Mecom's team, fitted with a Ford engine and entered for Al Unser as Mecom's #5 Retzloff Chemical entry at the 1967 Indy 500, where Unser finished second. Mecom closed his team immediately after the Indy 500 but sold this car to Unser's sponsor Albert F. Retzloff through his Retzloff Chemical company. George Bignotti continued to run the car for Unser with Retzloff as owner. Unser then damaged this car in an accident at Milwaukee in early June, and Bignotti borrowed the ex-Jackie Stewart #24 Lola from Mecom for Unser to race at Langhorne. Exactly which of the three T92s Unser drove in the remaining races of 1967 is still to be resolved, but chassis SL92/4 is believed to have been his main car. It was retained by Retzloff, Bignotti and Unser for the start of the 1968 season, and was raced by Unser for the first four races before the new Lola T150s were ready. Unser also drove it at Milwaukee, Mosport, Langhorne and Continental Divide, winning the two Langhorne races in August. The T92 was then raced as the team's #24 entry by Art Pollard, Carl Williams, Arnie Knepper, and Skip Scott later in the 1968 season. Advertised by Bignotti in March 1969. Subsequent history unknown. In February 1991, a Lola T90 Mk 2 chassis "92/4" was advertised from a San Francisco Bay number, stating that it was the car in which Unser finished second at Indy in 1967.
  3. Coyote 66 ['66-1'] (Joe Leonard): Built for AJ Foyt for 1966 by Eddie Kuzma and Lujie Lesovsky as "a new sturdier copy of a Lotus" (Hot Road Magazine). Crashed in practice by Foyt at the 1966 Indy 500. Raced by Foyt later in the season as the #2 and then by Joe Leonard at three races in 1967, including the Indy 500, as the #4. Raced by Foyt in early 1968 after his 1967 car had been wrecked in testing. For Jim McElreath at the 1968 Indy 500 and then used by Foyt to win at Continental Divide in July 1968. For Roger McCluskey in early 1969 but wrecked at Hanford and not repaired until 1970, when it was sold to Mel Kenyon and prepared by Don Kenyon as part of the Lindsey Hopkins team. Raced by Mel Kenyon (relieved by McCluskey) in the 1970 Indy 500 but wrecked. The damaged tub passed through a number of hands and by 2016 was with Bob Boyce. Boyce bought the 1968 car from Chuck Haines to use as a template for the repairs to the 1966 car. Both cars were then sold to John Darlington (Indianapolis, IN) in 2016, and by the end of that year they were with Walter Goodwin for restoration. In May 2017, the fully restored car was displayed at the IMS Museum as part of an AJ Foyt exhibit. It later appeared at Pebble Beach in 2018 and at the Pocono Historic event in August 2019.
  4. Eagle 67 [211] (Denis Hulme): Bought by Goodyear who gave it to legendary NASCAR mechanic Henry "Smokey" Yunick to run for Denny Hulme at the 1967 Indy 500 as the #69 City of Daytona entry, fitted with a Ford V8. In his normal fashion, Yunick made a lot of detailed aerodynamic changes, including fairing in the front suspension and covering the exposed rivet heads in a layer of Bondo bodyfiller. Hulme finished fourth in the race but Yunick did not run the car in any other events, so the Eagle was passed to the AJ Foyt team and Foyt himself raced it at Mosport in July, when his regular car needed to be at Langhorne the following day. As Foyt had also acquired a 1967 Eagle from AAR, the ex-Yunick car was not needed again, and later in the season it passed to the Lindsey Hopkins team to replace a car that had been damaged at Hanford. Exactly how it was used in 1968 is still being researched. According to the Bob Laycock Card File, it was not entered at the Indy 500 in 1969, but reappeared in 1970 at the Indy 500 as the #37 car for Mel Kenyon, which arrived but did not go out on track. A photograph of that #37 car at the Speedway would be extremely useful to pursue this car's history.
  5. Granatelli 67 (Parnelli Jones): The 1967 STP-Paxton Turbine only raced once, driven by Parnelli Jones in the 1967 Indy 500. It returned to the Speedway a year later for Joe Leonard to drive, but he crashed it in practice, The car was later donated by STP Corporation to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC, together with the 1969 Indy 500-winning Hawk. The turbine was loaned to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum in 1983 and remained on display there for 25 years until it was recalled by the Smithsonian in 2008. In 2013, an article in Motor Trend showed the Turbine in storage at the Smithsonian's Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility in Silver Hill, Maryland.
  6. Lola T90 [SL90/3] (Chuck Hulse): New to John Mecom's team, fitted with a Ford engine and driven to victory by Graham Hill as Mecom's #24 American Red Ball entry at the 1966 Indy 500. After the Indy 500, it was raced by Larry Dickson at Milwaukee in June and then by Al Unser for most of the rest of the season. Hill drove the car again at Fuji in October. On 15 April 1967 it was bought from Mecom by A.L. Castle (Orange, CA) of Interstate Racer Team for Chuck Hulse to drive at the 1967 Indy 500. On 14 May, the team ran into financial problems and the car was bought by Lindsey Hopkins, with the veteran Hulse still expected to drive. It was wrecked in Hulse's accident on the last lap of the race. For some years the ex-Stewart sister car was thought to be this car, but it is now clear that SL90/3 was scrapped after the accident.
  7. Gerhardt 67 (Art Pollard): Art Pollard had two new Gerhardts for the 1967 season, one with a supercharged Offy engine which was used on short tracks, and a turbo Offy car used at the Indy 500. There were small but significant differences between the two cars. His turbo Offy was first raced as the #16 Thermo King entry at the Indy 500 and was then Pollard's mount at Milwaukee on 4 June where it was damaged. He then used his short track supercharged Offy car at Langhorne. He was using his Indy 500 car at a test session at Trenton Speedway on 19 July 1967, when he crashed heavily. Pollard suffered a broken leg and serious burns, and would be out of racing for three months. The Gerhardt is believed to have been destroyed.
  8. Eagle 67 [210] (Bobby Unser): Sold to the Jud Phillips half of the Leader Card team, fitted with a Ford V8 and entered for Bobby Unser as the #6 Rislone car from the start of the 1967 season. In 1968, this car was used by Unser on ovals, helping Unser to the USAC title, together with a second 1967 Eagle used for road racing and a 1968 Eagle with which he won the Indy 500. Retained again for 1969, but only raced Unser at Dover Downs. However, after his other 1967 Eagle was wrecked, this original car was used by Unser on ovals in 1970, with the 1968 Eagle being used on road courses. Unser and Phillips both left Leader Card Racers later in 1970, and their equipment was transferred to the AJ Watson half of the Leader Card team. The 1967 Eagle was raced by Watson's driver Mike Mosley to win at Trenton in April 1971, and by George Snider at five later races. At some point, this car was damaged, and the unrepaired monocoque was given by Watson to Bentley Warren, who was racing the ex-Michner 1967 Eagle. It was still unrepaired when bought from Warren by consortium "Eagle Partners" who restored the ex-Unser car and sold it in July 2005 to Aaron Lewis (Cessnock, NSW, Australia). Sold by Aaron in 2014 to Scott Borchetta (Nashville, TN), the founder of Big Machine Records, who ran it in the vintage event at Indianapolis in May 2015.
  9. BRP 65 [BRP-4-65] (Carl Williams): The #41 BRP was entered by George R. Bryant for Masten Gregory to drive at the 1965 Indy 500. He qualified but was out early, classified 23rd. The car returned to Indy for the 1966 500 when it was practiced by Bobby Johns but did not qualify. It was then raced on the USAC trail by Johnny Boyd as the #41 Prestone entry. Carl Williams took over the drive at Fuji in October and retained the seat for 1967. He qualified for Indy but and was running in third place when he crashed on the final lap, being classified tenth. He raced it through the rest of the 1967 season, with a best position of eighth at IRP, but the car was put out of action by a crash and fire at Milwaukee in August. Some components of the BRPs were used in the construction of Howard Gilbert's new Cheetah cars but everything that was left went to Carroll Horton who was also building new cars, the Marathons. The #41 tub is believed to have been sent to Fournier Enterprises (Troy, MI), and was still there many years later when it was acquired from Darrell Soppe by master Indycar restorer Walter Goodwin (Indianapolis, IN). Sold to Thomas W. Acker (Largo, FL) in 1987, joining the remains of the #14 car that Acker had already acquired.
  10. Gerhardt 66 (Bob Veith): The first of Gerhardt's 1966-spec cars was started late in 1965 and must be the #46 car in which Jim Hurtubise appeared at Phoenix (PIR) in November 1965, although 1966 Indy previews only say it was completed in time for testing at PIR in January. Fitted with the supercharged Offy and used by Parnelli Jones in testing in January when he broke the lap record at PIR. Raced by Hurtubise again at PIR in March 1966 and taken to Indy as a backup to his new car. After the Indy 500, it was used by Jim Rathmann's Astronauts as their #76 Pure Firebird entry for Art Pollard at Milwaukee in June, presumably on loan because the team's new 1966 Gerhardt had been damaged at the Speedway. Similarly, it was used by Herb Porter's Racing Associates as their #39 entry for Bobby Grim at Phoenix in November, in place of the team's aged Watson roadster. The car was used again as Gerhardt's #46 Thermo King entry for Mel Kenyon in the two opening races of the 1967 season. According to crew member Dennis Johansen the #46 car was entered at Indy in 1967 but was being used just as a Thermo King show car until the Friday before the last weekend of qualifying when Goodyear said that they were sponsoring two team cars but had only seen one run. The car was quickly put together overnight by Don Gerhardt, Mel Kenyon and Dennis and was fired up for the first time on Saturday morning, Bob Veith did ten laps and then took a qualifying attempt, making the race comfortably and finishing 11th. This is likely to be the "his 'old' No 46" crashed in a test at IMS on 29 Jun 1967.
  11. Gerhardt 67 (Gordon Johncock): Gordon Johncock set up a new team for 1967 with backing from Jim Gilmore of Gilmore Broadcasting and raced a pair of new Gerhardts with Ford quad-cam engines that season. His first Gerhardt differed from later Gerhardts by having Dzus-fastened sides, and this car can be seen in photographs of Johncock testing at Phoenix prior to the first race of the season. He used his second fully-rivetted car in the race at Phoenix and is thought to have raced it at Trenton as well, before giving this Dzus-fastened car its race debut at the Indy 500. He used the Dzus-fastened car again at Milwaukee a week later, where he won, at Langhorne in June, and at Mosport in early July. He may also have used it at Indianapolis Raceway Park later in July, but then used the fully-rivetted car at Langhorne in July, Mont Tremblant, Milwaukee in August, and Hanford in October. The history of this Dzus-fastened car is unknown after July 1967. It may be relevant that Johncock bought a 1966 Gerhardt from Leader Cards after the Dzus-fastened car's last appearance with him to act as a backup, suggesting that this 1967 car was no longer available to him, perhaps as a result of an accident during testing.
  12. Gerhardt 67 (Bobby Grim): Herb Porter and Ebb Rose of Racing Associates entered a #39 Gerhardt with Offy turbo engine for Bobby Grim at the 1967 Indy 500 which is identified by Clymer as a new car. The team also had a very similar car entered at #89 and it was that car that Grim raced at the next two events. He returned to the #39 car for three races later in the season. After 1967, the Racing Associates team withdraws and the various one-off Racing Associates entries at later Indy 500s never arrived at the track but presumably allowed space for Porter's engine-building business. The Gerhardt is unknown after the end of 1967.
  13. Gerhardt 67 (Bud Tingelstad): Dan Levine's Federal Engineering acquired two new Gerhardts for the 1967 season, one with Dzus-fastened sides which was fitted with a supercharged Offy engine, and this fully-rivetted car which was fitted with a Ford engine. This was the #10 Federal Engineering entry for Bud Tingelstad at the 1967 Indy 500 and was his car at most races that season. It was fitted with a turbo Offy for 1968, and was again Tingelstad car at the Indy 500 and most races. It is thought to have been Bobby John's #35 Federal Engineering Special at Indy in 1969, a car that had outboard front springs. It continued in use alongside the team's newer 1968-type Gerhardt in 1970 and also had a handful of outings in 1971, being driven by Eldon Rasmussen at the last two races of the season. History then unknown until a car with outboard springs seen fully restored to Tingelstad's #10 livery at Indianapolis in May 2011 when it was driven by Parnelli Jones. Prepared then by Greg Elliff of G.E. Autosports (Avon, IN).
  14. Lotus 38 [3] (Larry Dickson): Built 1965 (second chassis built) for AAR. For Dan Gurney at the 1965 Indy 500 (#17 qualified 3rd, retired after 42 laps); for Roger McCluskey at Milwaukee, Langhorne and Trenton; for Gurney at two Milwaukee races; and for McCluskey at Trenton. Raced for AAR in 1966 by Joe Leonard at Phoenix, then an unused spare at the 500, and then driven by Lloyd Ruby, crewed by Dave Laycock, later in the season. Ruby and Laycock then joined Gene White's new team for 1967, and the Lotus was sold to Gordon van Liew and entered by Vita Fresh Orange Juice for Larry Dickson that year. Some modifications were performed by Eddie Kuzma. Also driven in three late-season races by George Snider, Arnie Knepper and Ronnie Bucknum. According to Doug Nye, this car was later sold to Ansted/Foyt then to Dick Smothers and on loan to the Briggs Cunningham Automotive Museum (then at 250 East Baker, Costa Mesa, CA). The museum closed at the end of 1986 and the whole collection was sold to Miles Collier, owner of the Collier Automotive Museum (Naples, FL) but the Lotus 38, as it was not owned by the collection, instead passed to Harrah's Auto Collection. This collection was founded by Bill Harrah, founder of Harrah's Casinos, but after Harrah died in 1978 the collection was acquired by the Holiday Corporation and some cars were sold off. The remaining 200 cars from the collection were donated to the National Automobile Museum (Reno, NV) which opened in 1989 and the Lotus, although reportedly still a separate property, moved with them. The car was still resident in the museum in April 2008 and the National Automobile Museum website in 2009 continued to list a "1965 Lotus-Ford 38 Indianapolis Race Car (Smothers Brothers)" in its collection.
  15. Gerhardt 67 (Mel Kenyon): Mel Kenyon's Gerhardt at the 1967 Indy 500 is identified by Clymer as a new car and Kenyon's 1968 500 car is identified by that year's Clymer Yearbook as being the same car. It is presumably the #15 Gerhardt that Kenyon drives through the rest of 1967 and in early 1968. Crashed heavily in practice at Milwaukee in June 1968, and later interviews with Kenyon imply this car was not repaired. Kenyon had a new 1968 Gerhardt later in the season.
  16. Vollstedt 67 ['B'] (Cale Yarborough): New for 1967 and run by Vollstedt Enterprises as the #21 Bryant Heating & Cooling Spl in 1967 and 1968 with a 255 ci Ford quad cam engine. Driven by Jim Clark as the #21 Sperex entry at Riverside in November 1967. Acquired a turbo engine in late 1968 and continued to run as the #21 Bryant Heating & Cooling Spl in 1969 and then as Vollstedt Enterprises' #21 car in 1970 and 1971. Raced by Gordon Johncock as the #7 on some occasions in 1971, and last seen with the team at Phoenix in November 1971 when it was raced by Wally Dallenbach. Sold to Art Sugai (Ontario, OR) and entered at Phoenix in November 1972 as the #17 East Side Special for Kenny Hamilton, but he slid into guard rail during practice and the car was heavily damaged. The remains went to local car builders Tom Fox and Ron Yurich in 1976 who intended to use it to build a Super Modified but it remained with them, still unrepaired, until 2007 when purchased from Yurich's son John by Michael McKinney (Kennewick WA) together with friends Ron Hjaltalin and Marc Prentice. The car was restored over the next few years and was run at Indianapolis in May 2011.
  17. Lola T92 ['SL92/6'] (Jackie Stewart): Although Lola records only show two Lola T92s having been built for customer John Mecom, it is clear from the events of the 1967 Indy 500 that Mecom's team had a third T92, built up rapidly before the second qualifying weekend when it was clear that Jackie Stewart's qualifying time in Mecom's #43 Bowes Fast Seal entry would not stand up. After the #43 car was bumped, Stewart qualified this new car as the #24 entry. Stewart retired from the race with a blown engine. Mecom then closed his team, but this Lola was loaned to chief mechanic George Bignotti to run for Al Unser as a Retzloff entry at Langhorne in June after Unser had damaged his regular car at Milwaukee. This car was next seen when Ron Cameron (San Diego, CA) mentioned to David Uihlein in March 1984 that he had the ex-Stewart 1967 Lola for sale. Cameron then restored the car to Stewart's #24 livery and had it on display in March 1991. According to Jim Dilamarter in 2001, the car advertised by Cameron had gone to John Mecom by that time. Later that decade, Mecom sold the car to Martin Birrane, who had bought Lola Cars in 1998. Birrane first ran it at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2007 and then at a number of other events until his death in 2018. The car has been on display at Birrane's museum at Mondello Park since March 2012.
  18. Eagle 67 [208] (Roger McCluskey): Sold to Lindsey Hopkins, fitted with a Ford V8 and entered for Roger McCluskey as the #12 G. C. Murphy car from the start of the 1967 season. Raced by McCluskey in 1967 at at the Indy 500, both Langhorne races, Milwaukee in August, Trenton in September and Hanford in October. At this latter race, McCluskey wrecked the 1967 Eagle and it would be out of service for some time. According to Bob Laycock's authoritative USAC records, the 1967 Hopkins Eagle car later returned to the Hopkins stable and was raced by new driver Wally Dallenbach at the 1969 Indy 500. Photographs show Dallenbach raced the same car at Milwaukee in June, Langhorne in June, Trenton in July, Milwaukee in August and Dover Downs in August. At Dover Downs, Dallenbach had a major crash, completely demolishing the Eagle and ending up in hospital with injuries to his face, hand and ankle. See full history of the Hopkins/McCluskey 1967 Eagle.
  19. Eagle 67 [207] (Jerry Grant): New for Richie Ginther at the 1967 Indy 500 as the #42 AAR entry, fitted with a Ford V8. After Ginther made two unsuccessful attempts to qualify the car was sold on 21 May to Friedkin Enterprises Racing Division for Jerry Grant to qualify, his #78 entry, a 1966 Eagle, having been bumped. The #42 car was qualified by Grant but retired from the race. Grant continued to drive for Friedkin Enterprises later in the season, using both the #78 and #42 numbers, but photographs show that his #42 car was not the AAR car he raced at the Speedway, but the team's second 1966 Eagle. Close study of photographs shows that later in 1967, the Ginther/Grant car moved to Leader Card Racers as a second 1967 Eagle for Bobby Unser to use. It can first be seen in Unser's hands at the Bobby Ball Memorial at Phoenix in November 1967, but he may have raced it earlier than that. In 1968, the team's two 1967 Eagles were very similar, but small differences indicate that this ex-Ginther/Grant car was the one Unser drove on road courses in 1968, still with its original Ford engine. In 1969, it was his regular short track car, raced at Phoenix, Hanford, Langhorne, Trenton and Milwaukee, and was his #86 backup car at the Indy 500. It is thought to be the car Unser crashed heavily at Phoenix in November 1969. Its distinctive features cannot be seen in photographs of Unser's 1967 Eagle during 1970, so its career after that accident is unknown. This car has now reappeared, but its exact provenance after the Phoenix accident is still being researched.
  20. Eagle 67 [212] (Dan Gurney): The #74 AAR entry for Dan Gurney at the 1967 Indy 500, fitted with a Ford V8 and with support from Wagner Lockheed. Sold after the race to AJ Foyt and photographs show that it was the car raced by Joe Leonard at Mosport Park in July 1967, still in works livery. The history of the car over the next three years remains unknown but according to the Hungness Yearbook, it reappeared at the 1970 Indy 500 still as part of the Foyt team but now equipped with a turbo Ford and entered as the #83 Greer car for Donnie Allison, who finished fourth. Then sold to Bill Simpson (Los Angeles, CA) and raced by him with a Chevrolet engine and three late-1970 races. Fitted with an Offy turbo for Simpson in 1971 and 1972. Sold to Marv Carman (Union City, Michigan) and turned into a supermodified, but at some point the car was very badly damaged in a workshop fire. The remains of the car were acquired by Richard Bible and they were stored until 2008, when bought by Indycar collector Bill Wiswedel (Holland, Michigan). In 2012, Wiswedel sold the fire-damaged tub and its surviving components to Justin Gurney, son of Dan Gurney and then CEO of AAR. He sent the tub to John Mueller and Jerry Wise of Entrepreneur's Motor Sports (Fresno, CA), who built a completely new car to take its place, there being no part of the damaged tub that was usable. Joe Boghosian built a quad-cam Ford engine for it. The new car was unveiled on Dan Gurney's 84th birthday in April 2015, when Autoweek quoted Mueller saying that "every piece on that car is new except uprights, the hubs and the transmission".
  21. Cecil 66 (Arnie Knepper): Built by Dick Cecil in late 1965 and first tested during Firestone tyre tests at Indy in December 1965. The car was initially used with an Offy engine but changed to a Ford V8 during practice at the 1966 Indy 500, its first competitive appearance. It was entered by DVS at the 1966 Indy 500 as the #37 Sam Liosi Special for Arnie Knepper to drive. He qualified 26th but was eliminated in the startline accident. He appeared five more times with the car that season, failling to start for two of them, retiring from the IRP race, and then taking a remarkable third place at Fuji, aided by the high rate of attrition. Raced by Knepper again in early 1967. He finished eighth at Phoenix and again qualified for the Indy 500, but retired with a blown engine. Ronnie Duman drove the car later in the season. Neither Sonny Ates nor Greg Weld could get it up to speed for the 1968 Indy 500. Knepper then took over the drive again for the rest of 1968. The car was then retired. Subsequent history unknown, but at some point it was acquired from Charlie Roden (Camdenton, Missouri) by Chuck Haines (St Louis, Missouri). The car was complete but dismantled and showed signs of having been fitted with a roll cage, suggesting a later career in supermodified racing.
  22. Eagle 66 [201] (Jochen Rindt): The first 1966 Eagle, chassis 201, was fitted with a 255ci Ford V8 and was Dan Gurney's #31 AAR entry at the 1966 Indy 500. Then fitted with the 303 ci Gurney Weslake Ford V8 stock block engine, and raced by Jochen Rindt as the #48 AAR entry at the 1967 Indy 500. Used by Gurney to win at Riverside in November 1967, and at Las Vegas in March 1968. Sold to Lothar Motschenbacher (Beverly Hills, CA) later in the year, fitted with a Chevrolet V8 and repainted red with Leader Card Racers signwriting. Motschenbacher intended to take part in the Rverside race in December, but did not take part. Then sold to Jerry Hansen (Long Lake, MN) for the Brainerd, Seattle and Riverside Indy road races in 1969. Then to the Tassi Vatis team, and was the team's #95 entry for Sam Posey at the 1970 Indy 500 but failed to qualify. It was the #95 entry again at the 1971 500, this time raced by Bentley Warren. Warren and later Carl Williams raced it in other events later in 1971 and Williams qualified it for the 500 in 1972. According to a later auction catalogue, it was sold to Bob Johnson and then to Jim Mann in 1978 before passing via Bob and Don Tarwaki to collector Bob Sutherland. It was restored for Sutherland by Jim Robbins then sold to Joe MacPherson (Tustin, CA). After MacPherson's death, it was sold at auction in 2008 to Riverside International Automotive Museum's Doug Magnon. The car was on display in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum in May 2015, replacing the Museum's own 1966 car which had been on display earlier in the month.
  23. Eagle 66 (Johnny Rutherford): Sold new to W & W Enterprises, which was Sidney Weinberger, a wealthy sportsman and building contractor from Ulica, Michigan, and his partner Frank Wilseck. Fitted with a Ford quad cam engine and entered by Weinberger Homes for Gordy Johncock at the 1966 Indy 500 as the #5 car. Johncock preferred his 1966 #72 Gerhardt at Indy and elsewhere, and the #5 Eagle only raced at Fuji, where Bobby Unser took it to second place. After Johncock and chief crew Duane Glasgow left, the Eagle was entered by Weinberger at the 1967 500 for Johnny Rutherford to drive, now with Wally Meskowski as chief crew. Raced later in the year by Rutherford, still with its Ford V8, as the team also now had another 1966 Eagle with an Offy turbo. The car remained in the Weinberger stable for 1968, when Ronnie Bucknum drove for the team with Dick Oeffinger, formerly with Gordon Johncock, as chief mechanic. This car was the Ford-powered car raced by Bucknum in 1968, and was later identified as the #45 Weinberger entry for Charlie Glotzbach in 1970. In October 1974, Wilseck sold the car to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum as "car number 49" but as different W&W Eagles wore #49 at different times, this may have caused it to be misidentified. In May 1975 it was on loan by the Museum to an Indianapolis bank, restored in the livery of Lloyd Ruby's #14 AAR Bardahl Eagle but otherwise described correctly as having been driven by Rutherford at the 1967 Indy 500 and Bucknum in the 1968 Indy 500. It continued to be used as part of the museum's backup collection for many years.
  24. Mongoose 67 (George Snider): New to Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones' new team where it was built up by chief crew George Morris and fitted with a Ford V8. Entered for George Snider as the #26 Vel's Ford Sales car at Phoenix in April 1967. Acquired Wagner Lockheed Brake Fluid backing for the Indy 500 (where Lloyd Ruby relieved Snider after 17 laps) and then became the #20 entry after Indy for Arnie Knepper. Knepper was badly burnt at Langhorne in an accident that severely damaged the team's backup Lotus 34, and was out of racing for several months. Joe Leonard was recruited to drive the Mongoose for the rest of 1967. George Morris built a new copy of the 1967 Mongoose for 1968 as their #9 entry but photographs show that the original Mongoose was the team's #29 car at the 1968 Indy 500 for George Snider. It then evidently became the #9 entry for Leonard and John Cannon later in the season. Then remained with the Vel's Parnelli team until 1998 when it was sold at auction, still in its 1968 livery, still wearing #9, and with decals on the side of the car that were an exact match for the Mongoose's last race at Riverside in 1968. The car was sold to Bob McConnell (Urbana, OH).
  25. Mongoose 67 (Lloyd Ruby): New to Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones' new team where it was built up by chief crew George Morris and fitted with a Ford V8. Entered for George Snider as the #26 Vel's Ford Sales car at Phoenix in April 1967. Acquired Wagner Lockheed Brake Fluid backing for the Indy 500 (where Lloyd Ruby relieved Snider after 17 laps) and then became the #20 entry after Indy for Arnie Knepper. Knepper was badly burnt at Langhorne in an accident that severely damaged the team's backup Lotus 34, and was out of racing for several months. Joe Leonard was recruited to drive the Mongoose for the rest of 1967. George Morris built a new copy of the 1967 Mongoose for 1968 as their #9 entry but photographs show that the original Mongoose was the team's #29 car at the 1968 Indy 500 for George Snider. It then evidently became the #9 entry for Leonard and John Cannon later in the season. Then remained with the Vel's Parnelli team until 1998 when it was sold at auction, still in its 1968 livery, still wearing #9, and with decals on the side of the car that were an exact match for the Mongoose's last race at Riverside in 1968. The car was sold to Bob McConnell (Urbana, OH).
  26. Vollstedt 66 [9] (Lee Roy Yarbrough): Built for 1966 as the #17 Jim Robbins car and used by several drivers at Indy that year but did not qualify. Became the #67 in 1967 and raced by Lee Roy Yarbrough at the Indy 500. Raced by Jim Malloy at a few races later in the season and then as a regular entry through 1968. For Lee Roy Yarbrough again at the 1969 Indy 500 as the #27 Jim Robbins entry but did not qualify. Returned to Vollstedt for 1970 and run as the #17 on a few occasions in 1970 and early 1971. Sold by Vollstedt to the Crombie Brothers for 1976, and raced by Ed Crombie (Williams Lake, British Columbia) at Trenton on 2 May. Crashed in practice at the Speedway later that month and not raced again. According to Michael McKinney's research, it was acquired from Crombie by Jerry Proper (Spokane, WA), modified significantly, and raced in CAMRA (Canadian American Modified Racing Association) supermodified races in the Pacific North West and Western Canada in the 1980s and 1990s.
  27. Gerhardt 67 (Al Miller): A new car in 1967 for Walter Weir (Webster Groves, MO) and fitted with a DOHC Ford. Entered at the Indy 500 for F1 driver Lorenzo Bandini but when the Italian died after a crash at the Monaco GP, the Gerhardt was driven in the 500 by Al Miller. Weir returned to the Indy 500 with the car in 1968 and 1969 but it did not qualify for either race. Weir died in a motor accident in February 1970 and the Gerhardt was bought five months later by Dudley Higginson (St Louis, MO). He entered for the 1971 Indy 500 as the #30 St Louis Special, by which time it had been reconfigured into a "wedge" and fitted with a turbo Offy. Bill Puterbaugh got the drive but he put it in the wall in practice and it was "extensively damaged. It must have been repaired, as Higginson entered it again in 1972 but it did not arrive. Chuck Haines (St Louis, MO) later found it in Missouri and sold it to Charles S. Hayes (Elkhart, Indiana) in the early 1990s. Bought from Hayes by Jimmy Brokensha (Nth Vancouver, BC, Canada) and Pete Schomer, and restored by them to 1967 spec. Bought by Mike Canepa (Grants Pass, OR) in the spring of 2000 for vintage racing but not used and advertised in 2014 before being sold to Jack Murray (San Diego, CA).
  28. Huffaker 64 (Wally Dallenbach): Originally built in 1964 intended for AJ Foyt but only used by Foyt in testing. Taken over by Bob Veith as the #54 for the race. Identified by Clymer as the #53 car used by Walt Hansgen in the 1965 "500". Then sold to Tassi Vatis and run as the #18 Konstant Hot Spl for Arnie Knepper through the rest of 1965. Then entered for Gary Congdon in 1966, becoming the Valvoline Special from the Indy 500 onwards. Wally Dallenbach took over the drive for 1967 and drove this car in the first three races, but an accident at the Indy 500 meant he had to drive the sister car for the rest of that season. His primary car was rebuilt in time for the 1968 season, and he drove it for the majority of that season, again as the #54 Valvoline Spl. In 1969, Vatis's chief mechanic Bill Finley again described the team's Indy 500 entries as "new Finley-built Valvoline Specials". Exactly how those 1969 cars relate to the 1964-1968 cars is still to be determined.
  29. Hawk II (67) (Mario Andretti): Built new for 1967 by Al Dean's Dean Racing Enterprises for Mario Andretti to drive as the #1 Dean Van Lines entry. First raced at Trenton in April, where Andretti won. He then used the new car at the Indy 500, where he took pole position again but was an early retirement. He generally used the old 1965 car for road courses in 1967 and the new car for oval tracks, and won four more races using the new car at Indianapolis Raceway Park, Langhorne, Milwaukee in August, and Phoenix in November. The 1967 car was retained for 1968 as a backup to the team's two new monocoque cars and in mid-season it was fitted with a turbo Offy engine, which had a significant power advantage over the Ford. Andretti raced the Hawk-Offy at Trenton, where he won, and at three more races, before it was refitted with the Ford for Jerry Titus to drive at Riverside in November. Andretti's ex-Al Dean equipment was then acquired by STP for 1969, but whether the old 1967 car was included in the deal is unknown. It was next seen in early 1972 when Jim McElreath entered it as a "Brabham-Chevrolet" at Phoenix in March and at Trenton in April. He used it in practice at Trenton but elected not to race, and it was not seen in it again that season. Three years later, McElreath ran it in practice for the USAC race at Trenton in April 1975, again failing to start. In December 1976, McElreath donated the car to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and it has remained in the collection ever since. It was restored in the early 1990s.
  30. Lotus 38 [7-2] (Jim Clark): Built 1966 by Abbey Panels for Team Lotus. For Al Unser at the 1966 Indy 500 (#18 qualified 23rd, crashed in race). Rebuilt on new chassis and retained for 1967. For Jim Clark at the 1967 Indy 500 (#31 qualified 16th, retired). This car, with 38/8, was part of a lawsuit in early 1968 after Chapman sold them to one party after Lotus's American Midwest dealer Jim Spencer had already taken a cheque for them from somebody else. Spencer's client won the case and the two 38s ended up with a doctor in Indianapolis who sold 38/7 to Middleton M. Caruthers (St. Louis, MO). Caruthers entered it for Wib Spalding (Granite City, IL) at Hanford 14 Apr 1969 (DNS, clutch), Langhorne 16 Jun 1969 (DNQ) and Continental Divide 7 Jul 1969 (retired, clutch). Eggers, who was part of the team, heard that was sold to Bill Lough (Winfield, MO). According to Doug Nye, this car passed from Lough to Chuck Haines (St Louis, MO) then via dealer Steve Forristall (Houston, TX) to a Japanese collector. Believed retained 2002.
  31. Mongoose 67 (Lloyd Ruby): One of two of the new 1967 Dave Laycock Mongoose cars retained for the Gene White team and entered as the #25 for Lloyd Ruby. First raced at Phoenix in April when it had not even been painted and won the race. Thereafter the #25 American Red Ball entry for Ruby using both Ford and Offy engines. Retained for Ruby for the first few races of 1968 before becoming the #6 entry for Bobby Grim at the 1968 Indy 500. Rebuilt with a Chevrolet stock block engine and next seen as Gene White's #52 Wynns entry for Charlie Glotzbach at the 1969 Indy 500. Glotzbach did not attempt to qualify. Last raced as Ruby's Chevrolet-engined car at the Indianapolis Raceway Park road circuit in July 1969, the distinctive twin scoops on the nose of the car being visible in photographs. Subsequent history unknown.
  32. BRP 65 [BRP-5-65] (Chris Amon): The #14 BRP was entered by George R. Bryant for Johnny Boyd to drive at the 1965 Indy 500. He qualified but retired with gearbox problems. The car next raced at the 1966 Indy 500, when Boyd again qualified but crashed out early in the race. The #14 car was entered for Bob Harkey at two races later in 1966 but failed to start either. It was then entered for Chris Amon at the 1967 Indy 500 and he topped 160 mph unofficially in practice but crashed on 10 May and the car was "damaged extensively". Howard Gilbert stripped the car and saved only the bulkheads and suspension parts. Carroll Horton acquired these parts, together with the remains of the #41 car which had been damaged later in 1967, and remained there until 1984, when they were bought by Thomas W. Acker (Largo, FL). In 2008, the remains of the #41 tub were being analysed to make a pattern to rebuild it.
  33. Watson 65 (Ralph Liguori): Built new by AJ Watson for Don Branson to race in 1965 for the Leader Card team as the #4 Wynn's entry. Fitted with a Ford V8 with Jud Phillips as chief mechanic. "Written off while tyre testing at the Speedway" (Wallen p309) in late June or early July 1965 but evidently survived as sold to Walter J. Flynn and entered for Ralph Liguori as the #35 Enterprise Machine Spl in 1966 and 1967. Unknown in 1968 but returned in 1969 owned by John Gavin (Winona, Minnesota), Patrick O'Reilly (Lake Crystal, Minnesota) and Mike DeMulling (St Paul, Minnesota) and entered as the Minnesota Serendipity. Appeared with ever decreasing regularity over the next four seasons, and last seen for sure at Milwaukee in August 1972, after which O'Reilly bought a 1971 Mongoose. The Watson was used to test an engine built by Ted Blair (North Hampton, MA) in 1973 and then sold to Blair. Passed on to his sons until sold to Don Danville (Storrs Mansfield, CT) in late 1977 and stored by him until 1990. To Walter Turell (North Easton, MA) 1990, then Harry Woodward (Camilla, GA) 1991 and Thomas W. Acker (Dunnellon, FL). Cleaned up by Acker and stored until sold to William Davis (Ortonville, MI) in 2000. Fully restored by William & Sharon Davis up to 2010 and appeared at the 2011 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Appeared at a parade at the Pocono 500 in July 2014.
  34. Mongoose 67 (Lee Roy Yarbrough): One of two of the new 1967 Dave Laycock Mongoose cars retained for the Gene White team and entered as the #52 American Red Ball car for Lee Roy Yarbrough. Yarbrough topped 160 mph in practice for the 1967 Indy 500 but crashed on 12 May causing "extensive damage" to the car. It was not seen again and is not believed to have survived.
  35. Eagle 66 (Norm Brown): The #14 AAR entry for Lloyd Ruby at the 1966 Indy 500 with Bardahl backing and fitted with a 255ci Ford V8. Ruby preferred to drive AAR's Lotus 38 for most other races in 1967, and the only other races for the Bardahl Eagle in 1966 were for Jim McElreath at Fuji that October and for Ruby at Phoenix in November. Sold to Weinberger Homes, fitted with a turbo Offy engine and used as the team's #47 entry for Norm Brown at the 1967 Indy 500 but crashed in practice. Raced by Johnny Rutherford on other occasions and thought to be the team's Offy car alongside their original Ford-engined Eagle and their Gerhardt, raced by Rutherford in 1967 and Ronnie Bucknum in 1968. Weinberger bought a new Eagle for 1968, relegating this car further down the order. It appears that this car was used in the Universal Pictures film 'Winning', filmed during the summer of 1968, where it appeared as the #3 car of Paul Newman's character Frank Capua. Photographs indicate that it rejoined the Weinberger team in October, and was the car Ronnie Bucknum used when he won the Michigan Inaugural 250. It remained in the Weinberger stable, and was seen a few times in 1969 and 1970, lastly as Weinberger Homes' unused #49 entry for Charlie Glotzbach at the Indy 500 in 1970. It was then sold to Ludwig Heimrath (Scarborough, Ontario, Canada), and fitted with a Chevrolet V8 engine for Formula 5000 in 1972. He retained it until 1975, when he sold to Don Ludewig (Clarkston, MI), and it remained with Don until it was sold to Peter Dyson (Winnetka, IL) in 2014.
  36. Mongoose 67 (Bobby Johns): New to the G. C. R. team managed by Jim Rathmann and backed by two US astonauts. Entered as the #71 at the 1967 Indy 500 but crashed in practice by Bobb Johns. Reappeared as Milwaukee later in the year as the #76 for Gary Congdon when it had been converted from Offy to Ford power. Then sold to J.C. Agajanian and entered as the #98 Agajanian REV 500 for Billy Vukovich at Riverside at the end of the season. Retained as the #98 entry for Vukovich through 1968 except at the Indy 500 where it was the #97 entry for Gary Bettenhausen. Retained again for 1969, again as the #98 for Vukovich when it was used with Ford, Offy and Chevrolet engines. Retained again for 1970 but now as the #97 entry as the Agajanian team had a new Wolverine car as the #98. It appeared yet again in the middle of 1971, when it was raced twice by John Martin as the team's #97 entry. Then unknown until it was bought from Bob Jongbloed by an unknown owner as a "Brabham" but still wearing a USAC registration tag '71 - 97'. Identified by Dave Laycock from photographs as a 1967 Mongoose. Sold it 2012 to Butch Gilbert (Westley, CA) who started a restoration of the car to its 1969 livery.
  37. Watson 66/67 (Mike Mosley): AJ Watson built a new Indycar in the fall of 1966, and it was driven by Chuck Hulse as the team's #12 entry at Phoenix in November 1966, but was damaged in practice and Hulse did not start. Watson updated his two 1966 cars with new bodywork for 1967, and the #12 became the #91 car. New driver Mike Mosley was allocated the car at Phoenix in April, but spun and broke a hub, missing the race. He was also out of luck at Trenton in April, as fuel feed problems left him unable to start. Then in practice at the Speedway he crashed on 7 May, damaging the #91 car. The Daily Track Report said it needed "several days' repair" but the #91 ran the very next day and continued to run regularly over the next ten days, matching the 160 mph speed of teammate Pedro Rodriguez in the #90 car. On Friday 19 May, just a day before its scheduled qualifying run, Mosley crashed the car again, losing control coming out of turn 3 and hitting the wall. This time the car was badly damaged and said to be "out of contention for this year's race". One 1966 Watson was used at a few races later in the season, but it is unclear which one was used.
  38. Eagle 67 [209] (Jochen Rindt): Sold to John W. Klug, founder of California builders Pacesetter Homes, fitted with a Ford quad cam engine and entered for Jochen Rindt at the #88 car at the 1967 Indy 500. Arrived on 1 May but crashed heavily just eight days later and "damaged extensively". After the Indy 500, it was sold to Dick Smothers and repaired and fully rebuilt by Smothers' chief mechanic Roy Campbell. It was then raced by Lou Sell (Fullerton, CA) in USAC events at Continental Divide, Indianapolis Raceway Park and Mont-Tremblant in July and August 1968. It was then crashed at Riverside in December 1968 when Sell was very badly injured and the Eagle was torn in half.
  39. Vollstedt 66 [8] (Lucien Bianchi): Built for 1966 and raced by Billy Foster as the #27 Jim Robbins entry. Retained for 1967 and intended to be raced by Lucien Bianchi in 1967 but borrowed by Mario Andretti for the opening race of the 1967 season, only to crash it in practice. Bianchi was later bumped at the Indy 500. Raced by Jim Malloy for the rest of 1967 and for occasional races in 1968 and 1969. To Frank J Fiore's Fiore Racing Enterprises for 1970 and raced as the #43 by Bob DeJong and then in 1971 by Denny Zimmerman. Later entered by Fiore as the #43 again for Al Loquasto in 1972, Jerry Karl and Bob Harkey in 1973, and Karl Busson in 1974. Later sold by Fiore and the car passed through several collectors until purchased by the Fiore family in 2001. Fiore died in 2007 but his son Frank Fiore Jr (Dallastown, PA) continued with the car's long-term restoration. The car appeared in public for the first time in 45 years at the Vintage Celebration at Pocono Raceway in August 2017.
  40. Lotus 38 [4] (Gary Congdon): Built 1965 (fifth chassis built) from spares with symmetrical suspension and using some parts from the original 38/2. Used by Jim Clark at St Ursanne and Ollon-Villars 1965. For Jim Clark at the 1966 Indy 500 (#19 qualified 2nd, finished second). Sold to AJ Foyt and wrecked in practice at Milwaukee a week later when the suspension on the straight and the car hit the wall and burst into flames. Returned to Lotus in England and rebuilt; returned to Foyt August 1966 but no further results known in 1966. Likely to have been the #84 Lotus 38 used by Foyt in the opening races of 1967 at Phoenix and Trenton. Then used by Gary Congdon at the Indy 500 when he was bumped. With the other Foyt 38s wrecked, this last survivor was the car Foyt raced at Langhorne in July. Several years later, a ‘Coyote’ was raced in F5000 by Crockey Peterson, but photographs show that it was a Lotus 38, and it has been identified as 38/4. Later sold to Chuck Haines (St Louis, MO) and then to collector James L. Jaeger (Cincinnati, OH). Run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 1997, 1998 and 2000. On display in the Speedway Museum March 2009. Ran again at Goodwood 2011.
  41. Eagle 66 [202] (Jochen Rindt): The #6 AAR entry for Joe Leonard at the 1966 Indy 500 with Yamaha backing and fitted with a 255ci Ford V8. AAR focused on F1 after the Indy 500, so Leonard and the Yamaha-Eagle transferred to AJ Foyt's team for the rest of the 1966 season. The car then passed to Friedkin Racing Enterprises (Costa Mesa, CA), owned by 31-year-old airline boss Tom Friedkin (Rancho Santa Fe, CA), to be its #87 entry in the 1967 Indy 500 for Jochen Rindt, but he was bumped. Photographs show that this was the #42 car raced by Jerry Grant on oval tracks later in the 1967 season. Then entered by Chevrolet dealer Alan Green (Seattle, WA), a regular partner of Friedkin, as the #18 City of Seattle car for Johnny Rutherford to race at the 1968 Indy 500 and at Milwaukee in June, with Jerry Eisert (Newport Beach, CA) now as chief mechanic. Then the Friedkin & Green #69 entry for Jerry Grant to race in two early 1969 events with a Chevrolet engine. Friedkin-Green then entered three cars for the Indy 500, this 1966 Eagle entered as #78 with an experimental turbocharged Chevrolet engine, a new wedge-shaped #96 car built by Eisert, and the 1968 Eagle entered at #69 as a spare. Seattle International Raceway general manager Bill Doner was team manager and Eisert was chief mechanic. Grant focused his efforts on the #78 turbo Eagle during practice but no representative speeds were produced so he skipped to the Vollstedt team and the Friedkin-Green team was wound up after the 500. What happened to the 1966 Eagle remains unclear. Grant joined the team of Marvin Webster (Mill Valley, CA), with Eisert again as chief mechanic, and photographs show that he drove the #76 Webster Eisert-Ford for the rest of the season. Grant continued into 1970 with his own operation, using his rebuilt 1968 Eagle, now sponsored by Nelson Ironworks, indicating that he had inherited at least one Eagle from the Friedkin-Green stable. John Gorman and Gary Duff (of Seattle) were his mechanics. The history of the 1966 Eagle is not known after the 1969 Indy 500.
  42. Gerhardt 66 (Ronnie Bucknum): New to Lindsey Hopkins and entered as the #78 GC Murphy Spl at Indy 1966. It was then sold to Gordon Van Liew and entered as the #7 Vita Fresh Orange Juice Gerhardt-Offy for Larry Dickson at Milwaukee 29 Aug 1966 and at three other short track races that season. It would then presumably be the #22 Vita Fresh Gerhardt driven by Dickson at Phoenix in April 1967. Dickson crashed early in the race and suffered burns. Photographs show that Hopkins' 1966 #78 Gerhardt-Ford was Gordon Van Liew's #23 Vita-Fresh Orange Juice entry at the 1967 Indy 500, qualified by Ronnie Bucknum but later bumped. The bodywork had been altered to a 1967 shape, but the car is clearly of 1966 construction. Bucknum later drove this car at the road courses at Mosport Park, Indianapolis Raceway Park and Mont-Tremblant, where it was described in press reports as the "only Gerhardt in existence with the chassis set on centre", i.e with symmetric suspension. Last seen in 1967 when run by Arnie Knepper in practice at Riverside but crashed and badly damaged. Photographs show that this was the car acquired by Pete Salemi after Ronnie Duman's fatal accident at Milwaukee in June 1968. Roy Reed, who had been chief mechanic when the car was with Van Liew, moved with it to Salemi's operation. He fitted the car with a turbo Offy and ran it as Salemi's #81 Central Excavating entry for Jigger Sirois in three races in late 1968. Salemi's team did not return for 1969, and the subsequent history of this Gerhardt is unknown.
  43. Eagle 66 [203] (Jerry Grant): A customer car sold to John W. Klug (Newport Beach, CA) of Pacesetter Homes, fitted with a 255ci Ford V8 and entered at the 1966 Indy 500 as the #88 Bardahl-Pacesetter Homes Special for Jerry Grant to drive, with Roy Campbell as chief mechanic. Klug's USAC entry form identifies the car as chassis 203. Grant was dropped by AAR's team of Can-Am Lola T70s at the beginning of October 1966, and set up Friedkin Enterprises Racing Division with financial backing from his old friend Tom Friedkin (San Diego, CA), and with ex-AAR mechanics Larry Stellings and Larry Webb. The new operation had two Eagles, Grant's #88 Indy 500 car chassis 203 which Friedkin acquired from Klug and the former Yamaha #6 car of Joe Leonard, and acquired a new Lola T70 which Grant drove at Riverside in October, entered by Alan Green Chevrolet. Grant drove the #88 Eagle at Phoenix in November as a Bardahl entry and this is presumably the #78 Friedkin Enterprises entry for Grant at the 1967 Indy 500 and at road course events later in the season. It was entered by Friedkin Enterprises as the #76 for Jerry Titus at the 1968 Indy 500. No sign has been found of it racing again in 1968, but photographs show that this was the car used in the Universal Pictures film 'Winning', starring Paul Newman and filmed during the summer of 1968, where it appeared as the #42 car of Robert Wagner's character Luther Lou Erding. It was then sold to Jackson oilman Walt Michner for his Michner Petroleum team, and used by driver Johnny Rutherford as a backup to his 1967 Eagle. The 1966 car was fitted with an Offy turbo for 1969 and entered as the #36 Patrick Petroleum car for Rutherford throughout the season. Retained by Michner for Rutherford during the 1970 and 1971 seasons still in partnership with Michner's 1967 Eagle as the #18 entry. The 1966 car was nicknamed "Geraldine" during this time and the 1967 car "Old Shep". Then to Marvin Webster (who had previously owned 'the AAR/Leonard car') and on the entry list at Ontario in 1972 for Don Brown. Next seen in practice at the 1973 Indy 500, entered by Webster as the #76, and later at Ontario in September 1973 where John Cannon raced it. Advertised by Webster in December 1973 with a 1968 Eagle. Unknown until owned by Anthony Seibert (Boulder, CO) in May 1983. Reappeared when sold by Joseph D Lhotka, Trustee, Shawn S Trust (Westminster, CO) to Centennial Import Motor Co (Boulder, CO) in April 1987, and then sold almost immediately to Chuck Haines (Manchester, MO). Retained by Haines until 2005, when sold to Aaron Lewis (Cessnock, NSW, Australia) and restored to Rutherford #36 livery. Run at the Phillip Island Classic 2011 by Lewis, and displayed car at Indianapolis in 2017 and 2018. Sold to Bobby Rahal (Chicago, IL) in October 2018.
  44. Watson 67 (Pedro Rodriguez): Pedro Rodriguez had a new #90 Watson-Ford for the 1967 Indy 500 but was bumped. After Rodriguez returned to F1, the new car was raced by Jim Hurtubise, Jim McElreath and Chuck Parsons later that season, an old '66 car only being used a few times. Watson built a new car with an turbo Offy engine for 1968, but the older Ford-engined car was used at most races in 1968, driven by George Snider, Chuck Hulse (in practice for the Indy 500), Mike Mosley, Bud Tingelstad, Bobby Unser and Lothar Motschenbacher. As the last of the Ford-engined cars, it was used primarily on road courses in 1968. Although a further car was built for 1969, the old '67 car was used on road courses with a Chevrolet engine. AJ Watson started running a 1968 Eagle in 1970, but continued to use the 1967 car for Mike Mosley on short tracks, now updated to a turbo Offy engine. It was not seen during 1971, but was sold for 1972 to Joe Tetz (Middletown, NY), who ran it in a few USAC events in 1972 and 1973 with a Chevrolet engine. The next time it is seen with any certainty is when owned by Cyrus Clark (Katonah, NY) in 1987/88, when it was in F5000 configuration with a small block Chevy engine. Clark advertised in Hemmings in June 1988 as the 1967 ex-Rodriguez car and the wings, tanks, nose, rollbar fairing, paint scheme and exhaust headers all matched the car driven by Joe Tetz in 1972. Sold by Clark to Larry Less (San Francisco, CA) and retained by him for many years.
  45. Lola T92 [SL92/5] (Jackie Stewart): New to John Mecom's team, fitted with a Ford engine and entered for Jackie Stewart as Mecom's #43 Bowes Seal Fast entry at the 1967 Indy 500, with the same entry number and sponsor Stewart used in 1966. Stewart qualified on the first weekend but his time was slow, so another car was built up for him to use on the second qualifying weekend. His #43 car was indeed bumped, and Stewart qualified and raced the newer car. After Mecom closed his team and George Bignotti continued with Al Unser as a Retzloff entry, it is unclear how the three T92s were used, but photographs suggest that the #43 car was John Surtees' #24 Bowes Seal Fast at Riverside in November. Press reports then suggest that this was the car bought from Bignotti in April 1968 by Memphis and Mississippi aircraft dealer Jack Adams as a backup to his main turbine car at the 1968 Indy 500, an identification which is supported by photographs. Howard Millican was Adams' chief mechanic on the Lola. Bob Hurt initially drove it as the #36 Jack Adams Aircraft entry but Larry Dickson took over the drive before qualifying. Dickson qualified but was bumped. Dickson was replaced by Jim McElreath later in 1968. For 1969, the car's Ford engine was replaced with a turbo Offy, and it was driven by Bobby Grim, Jim Malloy and Rick Muther. By the end of 1969, reports said that it had been updated with "Eagle-copy front and Brabham-copy rear suspensions" but when it appeared at the 1970 Indy 500 its front suspension appeared normal. This car's last appearance was at that 1970 Indy 500, when it was entered by 'Two Jacks' as the #72 Hustlin' Hoosier for Jigger Sirois. Sirois hit the wall on 23 May and caused minor damage to the car, leaving no time for repairs before final qualifying the next day. The Adams team continued the season with the other two cars in its stable and the Lola was not seen again. Subsequent history unknown.
  46. Gerhardt 66 (Bob Harkey): ARDC midget owner Ken Brenn Sr (Warren, NJ) ran a #57 Gerhardt for Bob Harkey in 1967 (also driven by Lothar Motschenbacher at Phoenix) and then ran a #88 Gerhardt in 1968 for a variety of drivers. According to Gary Mondschein, these were two different cars, the first being a '66 car and the second a '67 car, and Brenn told him both cars came from Goodyear and were unraced. Simmo Iskül's analysis supports them being two different cars, but shows that both were 1966 Gerhardts. Brenn's 1967 car went to Bulldog Stables for 1968 and would be the #36 Gerhardt-Chev run on the USAC trail in 1968 and the #68 in 1969 for drivers such as Gene Bergin, Bob Harkey and Denny Zimmerman. It was joined by a Gerhardt-Offy towards the end of 1968 and the team ran both cars a few times early in 1969. The ex-Brenn #68 then reappears as Jerry Karl's Trackstar Helmet entry (photos in the Hungness yearbook 1969 p41 and 1970 p103 show the car almost unchanged) becoming his #52 entry in 1970 and presumably his #102 Winters Transmission entry in 1971. It was then sold to Geoff Bodine who added a roll-cage and set it up as a Super-Modified and raced it at Oswego Speedway (near Syracuse, NY) in 1972, taking a fourth place finish in a race on 3 June 1972. The car was later in the collection of Bob McConnell (Urbana, OH), still unrestored in Bodine's colours. Sold to Gary Mondschein in 2011 and was being restored in 2014 by Walt Goodwin.
  47. Gerhardt 66 (Bob Hurt): New for Bob Hurt (Potomac, MD) and entered during 1966 by Robert J Ricucci (Washington, DC) as the #36 Viking Racing Offenhauser car. In 1967, Hurt returned in a Gerhardt but the #29 REV 500 car entered by Malcolm J Boyle. Entered again by Boyle's PMB Racers Inc of Chicago, IL, for Hurt in early 1968. Driven by Bobby Johns and Ronnie Duman during practice for the 1968 Indy 500, but crashed by Duman. Photographs show that this car then went to Arthur W. 'Buzz' Harvey's Bulldog Stables Inc (Hardwick, Mass), still as the #26, to run alongside the team's #36 Gerhardt-Chev on the USAC trail towards the end of 1968. Then believed to be the 1966 Gerhardt sold by Bulldog Stables to Louis A. Seymour (Marlboro, Mass), who fitted a Chevy engine and entered it as the #39 Seymour Enterprises car for Don Brown and others in 1970 and 1971. Retired by Seymour in late 1971 and sold to an unknown owner in 1988 who sold it to Phil Gumpert (Noblesville, IN) in 1996. Restored by Roger Beck and Brian Stewart of Indianapolis. Still with Gumpert in 2006 but in 2008 Charley & Vera Lawrence were exhibiting a "1968" Gerhardt with Chevy engine but in the #26 livery of Rick Muther's 1969 Indy 500 entry. Despite its livery, the car was the shape of a 1966 Gerhardt but with the outboard springs that did not appear on Gerhardts until 1968. Offered at Kruse's Auburn Spring Car Auction in May 2009, where it was described it as a 1968 car, but did not sell. Later bought from Lawrence by Toney Edwards (Greenwood, Indiana) some time before May 2013.
  48. Lotus 38 [2] (Bob Christie): Built 1965 (third chassis built) for Team Lotus. Crashed by Roger McCluskey while testing at Trenton April 1965 and rebuilt on new tub (fourth chassis built) in time for Indy 500. For Bobby Johns at the 1965 Indy 500 (#83 qualified 22nd, finished 7th). Purchased by Ford and used as a show car standing in as 'Indy winner' show car. Sold at some point to AJ Foyt and believed to be the car that was modified by Eddie Kuzma and entered at the 1966 Indy 500 as the Lotus-Kuzma. For George Snider at the 1966 Indy 500 (#82 qualified 3rd, crashed in race). Parts of this car and of Foyt's car damaged in the same race used to built a new car for 1967. This is believed to be the #82 car destroyed in Bob Christie's accident during Indy qualifying in 1967.
  49. Vollstedt 67 ['A'] (Bob Johns): New for 1967 and run by Vollstedt Enterprises as the #17 Bryant Heating & Cooling Spl in 1967 and 1968 with a 255 ci Ford quad cam engine. Appeared at Indy in 1969, now with a turbo Ford but still as the #17 Bryant Heating & Cooling Spl. Dick Simon raced this car for the Vollstedt team at a few races late 1969 as the All Seasons Sports car and then acquired the car, which became his #44 entry in 1970 and then his #44 TraveLodge Sleeper backup in 1971. Retained as part of Simon's stable until the end of 1975 when it was sold to Art Sugai (Ontario, OR) and became his #90 Eastside Café entry for Frank Weiss in 1976. Sold in 1978 to Tom Black (Portland, OR) and Bob Ames and restored by them as the #21 ex-Jim Clark car after being incorrectly identified as that car by Rolla Vollstedt. Then to Don Mack and Hank Albers in 1979 and sold a year later via Eoin Young to Peter Briggs and put on display in his York Motor Museum in Western Australia. Offered for sale by Bonhams at Quail Lodge in August 2009 at which point it was correctly identified as the #17 car. Sold to Greg Smith in 2010.
  50. Lotus 34 [3] (Masten Gregory): New for Jim Clark at the 1964 Indianapolis 500 as his #6 car. Clark qualified on pole position but retired early with broken suspension. Next used at the August Milwaukee but Clark was not available so a deal was done with 1963 Indy 500 winner Parnelli Jones and his car owner JC Agajanian for Jones to drive it as the #98 entry. Jones qualified on pole and won the race. It was driven at Trenton in September by Clark and then at Phoenix in November by Jones. The car was then sold to Agajanian for Jones to race in 1965, and extensively rebuilt by Agajanian's veteran chief mechanic Johnny Pouelsen and "body man" Eddie Kuzma, who reported that they had replaced every inch of English metal with stronger and heavier American metal. Its weight increased by 200 lbs to 1250 lbs. Despite this rebuild, a rear wheel came off during practice, which was still blamed on the "funny car". Jones finished second in the Indy 500 in the Lotus, and won at Milwaukee a week later. After being retained unused by Agajanian during 1966, the car became part of Parnelli Jones' new team for 1967 when it was raced a few times as a backup car but was heavily damaged in the multi-car accident at Langhorne in July in which driver Arnie Knepper was badly burnt. The car was retained in boxes for many years at Vel's Parnelli Racing until it was restored by Phil Reilly & Co (Corte Madera, CA) in 1998. Then retained as part of the Vel's Parnelli collection in Torrance but also on display at other museums on occasion, such as the Petersen Automotive Museum (Los Angeles, CA) in 2006. Sold with the rest of the VPJ collection to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum in May 2012 and the Lotus was on the podium in the entrance of the museum in 2012 and 2013.
  51. Eagle 67 [207] (Richie Ginther): New for Richie Ginther at the 1967 Indy 500 as the #42 AAR entry, fitted with a Ford V8. After Ginther made two unsuccessful attempts to qualify the car was sold on 21 May to Friedkin Enterprises Racing Division for Jerry Grant to qualify, his #78 entry, a 1966 Eagle, having been bumped. The #42 car was qualified by Grant but retired from the race. Grant continued to drive for Friedkin Enterprises later in the season, using both the #78 and #42 numbers, but photographs show that his #42 car was not the AAR car he raced at the Speedway, but the team's second 1966 Eagle. Close study of photographs shows that later in 1967, the Ginther/Grant car moved to Leader Card Racers as a second 1967 Eagle for Bobby Unser to use. It can first be seen in Unser's hands at the Bobby Ball Memorial at Phoenix in November 1967, but he may have raced it earlier than that. In 1968, the team's two 1967 Eagles were very similar, but small differences indicate that this ex-Ginther/Grant car was the one Unser drove on road courses in 1968, still with its original Ford engine. In 1969, it was his regular short track car, raced at Phoenix, Hanford, Langhorne, Trenton and Milwaukee, and was his #86 backup car at the Indy 500. It is thought to be the car Unser crashed heavily at Phoenix in November 1969. Its distinctive features cannot be seen in photographs of Unser's 1967 Eagle during 1970, so its career after that accident is unknown. This car has now reappeared, but its exact provenance after the Phoenix accident is still being researched.
  52. Gerhardt 66 (Mickey Shaw): One of two new 1966 Ford-engined Gerhardts acquired by Leader Card Racers for 1966 and retained as the #91 backup for Don Branson at the 1966 Indy 500. Raced by Bobby Unser at Phoenix in November after he had damaged the usual #4 car. Sold to Nick Fulbright, owner of the Four Flags Garage in Niles, Michigan, in March 1967 but he was unable to find a sponsor and sold the car to Walt Michner who entered it for Mickey Shaw at the 1967 Indy 500 as the #60. Raced later in the season by Mike Mosley and Rick Muther. May have been retained in the Michner stable and plausibly the #63 Gerhardt backup car entered for the 1969 Indy 500. Subsequent history unknown.
  53. Lotus 38 [4] (Bob Wente): Built 1965 (fifth chassis built) from spares with symmetrical suspension and using some parts from the original 38/2. Used by Jim Clark at St Ursanne and Ollon-Villars 1965. For Jim Clark at the 1966 Indy 500 (#19 qualified 2nd, finished second). Sold to AJ Foyt and wrecked in practice at Milwaukee a week later when the suspension on the straight and the car hit the wall and burst into flames. Returned to Lotus in England and rebuilt; returned to Foyt August 1966 but no further results known in 1966. Likely to have been the #84 Lotus 38 used by Foyt in the opening races of 1967 at Phoenix and Trenton. Then used by Gary Congdon at the Indy 500 when he was bumped. With the other Foyt 38s wrecked, this last survivor was the car Foyt raced at Langhorne in July. Several years later, a ‘Coyote’ was raced in F5000 by Crockey Peterson, but photographs show that it was a Lotus 38, and it has been identified as 38/4. Later sold to Chuck Haines (St Louis, MO) and then to collector James L. Jaeger (Cincinnati, OH). Run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 1997, 1998 and 2000. On display in the Speedway Museum March 2009. Ran again at Goodwood 2011.
  54. Gerhardt 67 (Al Miller): Having run a 1966 Gerhardt through the 1966 season, the Caves Buick team acquired a new 1967 model in time for that year's Indy 500. It was raced by Al Miller as the #85 entry for the rest of the season, but it is possible the team's older 1966 car was used at some tracks. At the 1968 Indy 500, the team's main #14 Quaker State Special Gerhardt-Offy was their usual 1967 car, but a "twin" had been acquired as the backup #73 entry. Chuck Hulse drove Caves' #14 entry in the pre-Indy 500 races, and then ran the #73 car in practice at the Speedway before leaving the team on 18 May. Bob Hurt took over the drive but crashed the car heavily on the morning of final qualifying, resulting in significant rear damage to the car. Hurt suffered broken vertabrae in his neck and spinal cord injuries which left him paralysed from the neck down. Whether the car was repaired or replaced is uncertain, but Sammy Sessions drove Caves' #14 entry for the rest of 1968 and it is assumed the team used the new "twin" thereafter.
  55. Thompson 67/RE (Gary Congdon): New for 1967 and entered at the Indy 500 for Gary Congdon as the #18 Mickey Thompson's Wynn's Special. Did not attempt to qualify. Reappeared at the start of the 1968 season as Thompson's #68 entry for Danny Ongais but wrecked in practice at Hanford Motor Speedway in March and then failed to qualify at Phoenix in April. Then the #63 City of Long Beach entry for Ongais at the Indy 500 but USAC rejected Ongais's nomination and told him to get more experience. Practiced by Bill Puterbaugh but did not attempt to qualify. Retained thereafter by Micky Thompson and, following his death in 1988. by his son Danny Thompson. Sold to George Lyons (Erie. PA) in 2014.
  56. Gerhardt 67 (Bill Cheesbourg): A new car in 1967 for Walter Weir (Webster Groves, MO) and fitted with a DOHC Ford. Entered at the Indy 500 for F1 driver Lorenzo Bandini but when the Italian died after a crash at the Monaco GP, the Gerhardt was driven in the 500 by Al Miller. Weir returned to the Indy 500 with the car in 1968 and 1969 but it did not qualify for either race. Weir died in a motor accident in February 1970 and the Gerhardt was bought five months later by Dudley Higginson (St Louis, MO). He entered for the 1971 Indy 500 as the #30 St Louis Special, by which time it had been reconfigured into a "wedge" and fitted with a turbo Offy. Bill Puterbaugh got the drive but he put it in the wall in practice and it was "extensively damaged. It must have been repaired, as Higginson entered it again in 1972 but it did not arrive. Chuck Haines (St Louis, MO) later found it in Missouri and sold it to Charles S. Hayes (Elkhart, Indiana) in the early 1990s. Bought from Hayes by Jimmy Brokensha (Nth Vancouver, BC, Canada) and Pete Schomer, and restored by them to 1967 spec. Bought by Mike Canepa (Grants Pass, OR) in the spring of 2000 for vintage racing but not used and advertised in 2014 before being sold to Jack Murray (San Diego, CA).
  57. Lola T90 [SL90/1] (Peter Revson): New to John Mecom's team, fitted with a supercharged Offy engine and driven by Rodger Ward in early 1966 as the #24 American Red Ball, and then as Mecom's #26 Bryant entry at the 1966 Indy 500. After the Indy 500, SL90/1 was raced by Al Unser at Milwaukee in June with a Ford engine. It was then sold to Joe Lucey for Art Knepper to race at Atlanta three weeks later but was crashed heavily in practice and said to be "beyond salvage". It was repaired in time to be raced by Al Unser at Fuji in October, and then by Peter Revson at Phoenix in November. Revson then raced it for new owner George Walther in early 1967 as his #33 Dayton Disk Brake entry, still with its supercharged Offy engine. Rick Muther took over the entry in July and August 1967, and then Sonny Ates drove it at Trenton in September, only to wreck it in practice. The heavily dented tub was in the George Walther Estate auction in 2002. It was acquired by John Darlington (Carmel, Indiana) and he had it restored to Ward's blue-and-white #26 Bryant livery, after which it appeared regularly at historic events in the US and at Goodwood in the UK.
  58. Halibrand Shrike (Gig Stephens): Leonard 'Gig' Stephens (North Reading, Massachusetts) ran a Halibrand-Offy in practice at the 1966 Indy 500. It was owned by Karl Hall (Orleans, IN) and was his #71 Fairchild Hiller entry. No attempt was made to qualify that year. Stephens and Al Smith appeared at a number of races with the car later that season, but it only started one race, with Stephens at Milwaukee in June. Stephens and the car returned in 1967, when it was the #36 Atamian Ford entry. Ronnie Duman and Sammy Sessions also raced it that season. Gig Stephens then took over the ownership and it was the #102 Halibrand Engineering or Tuonic Engineering entry in 1968, then the #104 Atlas Air Cargo entry for Stephens and Bob Pratt in 1969. It was then fitted with a Ford stock block engine and appeared for four more seasons of USAC racing with sponsorship from Atamanian Ford. He had a very poor record with the car failed to start a single race in 1973. In May 1973, he advertised the car, complete with 351 ci Ford "Boss" engine and Hewland LG 500, suggesting it was "ideal for Super Modified Racing". After the car finally stopped racing, it joined the collection of E Howard Brandon and was displayed still in Stephens' livery in his "Car Collectors Hall of Fame", which opened in Nashville in June 1979. The museum closed in 1998 and its contents were auctioned by Kruse in December that year, including a "1966 Indy Race Car" which was presumably the ex-Stephens Halibrand. Subsequent history unknown.
  59. Gerhardt 67 (Al Smith): Dan Levine's Federal Engineering bought two new Gerhardts for 1967, the first of which had the Dzus-fastened sides only seen on a handful of that year's production. It was fitted with a supercharged Offy engine and is thought to be the car raced by Bud Tingelstad at Trenton in April. It was then the team's #38 entry for Al Smith at the Indy 500, was then raced by Tingelstad as his #10 at Milwaukee a week later and then by Smith and Sam Session as the #38 entry at three later races. It was fitted with a turbo Offy for 1968 and was used by Tingelstad at about four races, by Sonny Ates as the team's #31 entry at the Indy 500, and by Ates and Carl Williams at four races at the end of the season. At the car's last-known appearance, Phoenix in November 1968, Ates spun in Turn 1 and was rammed by Johnny Rutherford's Eagle, damaging both cars.
  60. Watson 64 (Les Scott): Built new by AJ Watson for Rodger Ward to race in 1964 for the Leader Card team as the #2 Kaiser Aluminum entry. Fitted with a Ford V8. Finished second at Indy that year and had two other second places later in the season. Taken by Leader Card to Indy again in 1965 as the #15 backup and used in practice by Jud Larson but wrecked and did not start. Brought back out later in the 1965 season for Bob Mathouser, and again for the same driver once at the start of 1966. Sold to Norm Hall over the 1966/67 close season who linked up with Barney Navarro to use the 199 ci 6-cylinder AMC Rambler turbo engine that Navarro had been developing. Appeared from 1967 to 1972 but, as a general rule, failed to qualify or failed to start. It appeared at Rafaela 1971 - only its fourth actual race start - driven by Dave Strickland and in practice at Indy that year by Les Scott. Jigger Sirois made another unsuccessful attempt to qualify the #50 Navarro-Rambler at the 1972 Indy 500. It was later acquired from Navarro by Rodger Ward and restored to its 1964 specification in the late 1980s. Subsequent history unknown until part of a display of Indycars at Monterey in August 2007 when it was owned by Tom Malloy and said to be "s/n 001" and then at Fontana in March 2008 alongside the Branson sister car.
  61. Halibrand Shrike (Dempsey Wilson): Lysle Greenman (Northridge, CA) and Dempsey Wilson (Hawthorne, CA) entered a Halibrand at the 1966 Indy 500 for Wilson to drive. The car had a Chevrolet engine and was entered as #51, a number it retained through its career. Dempsey failed to qualify at Indy or at Milwaukee a week later. Greenman and Dempsey returned for 1967 but again failed to start any race that season. Dempsey finally started a race in it at Hanford in 1968, and managed to start at Phoenix in April as well, but failed to start any others. Wilson entered four races in 1969, utilising a turbocharged Chevy on occasion, but the car's final appearance came when Dempsey wrecked it in practice at Trenton in September. Subsequent history unknown.
  62. Huffaker 64 (Chuck Stevenson): The second Kjell Qvale Huffaker at the 1964 Indy 500 for Pedro Rodriguez as the #48 MG Liquid Suspension Spl. Rodriguez crashed the car on 9 May, damaging it severely and putting himself in hospital. The car was repaired and returned to competition as Qvale's #48 Bardahl entry for Jerry Grant #48 Bardahl car at the 1965 Indy 500. He qualified in mid-grid but was an early retirement. This car was then one of two sold to Tassi Vatis but was not raced again in 1965, Vatis driver Arnie Knepper using the sister car that season. It was next seen at the 1966 Indy 500 where it was entered as Vatis team's backup #54 Valvoline entry, which journeyman Eddie Johnson qualified on the back row and took to seventh place as others retired. With lead driver Gary Congdon having wrecked his car at the Speedway, he drove this ex-Grant/Johnson car at Milwaukee, Langhorne and Atlanta while his regular car was repaired. It was then driven by Wally Dallenbach as a second Vatis at Fuji and Phoenix at the end of the 1966 season. Congdon moved to Mickey Thompson's team for 1967, so Dallenbach took over the Valvoline-sponsored Vatis Huffakers. He again drove the team's preferred primary car, and this ex-Grant/Johnson car was entered for veteran Chuck Stevenson to drive at the 1967 Indy 500, but he made no attempt to qualify. As Dallenbach damaged the primary Huffaker during the Indy 500, he drove the ex-Grant/Johnson car for the rest of the 1967 season. For the 1968 season, both cars were signficantly rebuilt and Dallenbach returned again to the team's preferred primary car, leaving this ex-Grant/Johnson car to be entered for Stevenson again at the 1968 Indy 500. After an accident quite early in the month, the veteran decided to retire from racing, and Sammy Sessions was recruited as his replacement. He qualified on the back row but kept going to finish ninth. This car was not seen again until the last few races of the season when Dallenbach raced it at Michigan and Hanford, and then Rick Muther drove it in the final race, at Riverside in December. In 1969, Vatis's chief mechanic Bill Finley again described the team's Indy 500 entries as "new Finley-built Valvoline Specials". Exactly how those 1969 cars relate to the 1964-1968 cars is still to be determined.
  63. Vollstedt 65 [7] (Don Meacham): New for 1965 as Vollstedt Enterprises' #16 Bryant Heating & Cooling entry at the Indy 500 for Len Sutton. Raced by Sutton at Indy, Milwaukee and Lanhorne, and then by Billy Foster for the rest of the season. To Jim Robbins for 1966 as the #66 entry for Foster, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Unser, Mario Andretti and Chris Amon. To Hayhoe Racing Enterprises for 1967 and became their #62 Cleaver-Brooks Special, driven by Don Meacham, who did not qualify at the 500, and then by Bruce Walkup. Converted to a turbo Offy engine during this time. Retained by Hayhoe for the start of 1968, then unseen until sold to Bob Gregg in mid-1969 and fitted with a Chevy engine, appearing at west coast Indy races driven by Gregg and Dick Simon. Bought back by Vollstedt who reconditioned the car for Supermodified racing. Sold to Larry Kramer who entered it for Tom Sneva, who was hugely successful with it in the lower divisions. Photographs also show that this was Fred Corbett's "Eagle" at the 1971 USAC Road Racing event at Seattle in 1971. History then unknown until bought again by Volstedt, sold to Bruce Russell (Vancouver, WA) and then restored by Volstedt for Russell with a four-cam Ford. By 2003, the car was owned by Don Shervey (Portland, OR). Sold by Shervey to Gord Alberg (Saanich, British Columbia, Canada) in 2015.
  64. Gerhardt 65 (Bob Christie): Ernest L. Ruiz (Modesto, CA) bought a new Gerhardt for 1965 and ran it as the #65 Travelon Trailer car. It was fitted with a 252 ci Offenhauser engine and Ernie Ruiz continued to run it in this form until 1971, although it may well have acquired a turbocharger by the end of this period. Dennis Johansen recalls the car being very heavily damaged at Phoenix in March 1970 when Johnny Anderson triggered a six-car accident while trying to avoid a spinning Nick Dioguardi. However, the car seen in pictures on track at the Speedway in the 1971 Hungness Yearbook appears to be a pre-66 car, so it must have survived. Unknown after Indianapolis May 1971 until June 2015, when a car restored in the #65 Travelon Trailer livery was on display at Brands Hatch's American SpeedFest III. This car then run by Robin Ward at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a month later.
  65. Gerhardt 67 (Johnny Boyd): New to George R. Harm, a promiment Fresno businessman, fitted with a Ford V8 and entered for the 1967 Indy 500 as the #66 KFC car for Johnny Boyd, also Fresno born and bred. The car was built larger than other Gerhardt's to fit Boyd's broader frame. When the entry was announced on 8 February 1967, the car was described as being new and joint chief mechanics were listed as veteran Gerhardt mechanic Fred DeOrian and Roy Wiley, another Fresno resident and an experienced Indy mechanic who regularly worked with Boyd. Despite the hand-picked team of Fresnans, Boyd did not qualify at Indy and failed to qualify again at Milwaukee the following weekend. He then retired from racing and later sued George Harm for "not providing a racing car in good and proper condition". The future of the Gerhardt is unknown but given the close Fresno connections back to the Gerhardt factory, it may well have returned to the factory to be reconditioned and sold.
  66. Thompson 67/FE (Sammy Sessions): Although initially tested by Gary Congton, the car was entered by Mickey Thompson for the 1967 Indy 500 as the #68 Wynn's Spitfird Special for Sam Sessions to drive. Subsequent history unknown.
  67. Gerhardt 67 (Don Thomas): Pete Salemi's Central Excavating team entered Don Thomas in a #73 Gerhardt-Offy at the Indy 500 in 1967, and photographs suggest that it was a new 1967 car. Thomas got through his Rookie test but then crashed the car on Wednesday 17 May. Bruce Jacobi drove the #73 car at Milwaukee in early June, then Thomas was back in the seat at Langhorne a fortnight later, but failed to qualify. He crashed again in practice at IRP in July, at which point Bob Hurt took over the drive, qualifying for the race. Jacobi drove it at the next two races but at Mont-Tremblant on 6 August, put the car into a bank, severely damaging it. The team's entry changed from #73 to #81 after this accident, suggesting they were using a different car, but photographs show that it was the same car. Later used by the team at Milwaukee and Trenton in the fall of 1967, then at four races in 1968, up to and including Ronnie Duman's fatal accident at Milwaukee in June 1968. This car was very heavily damaged in the accident and it seems highly unlikely that it would have been used again. Salemi acquired an updated 1966 Gerhardt from Gordon Van Liew's team, and completed the season with that.
  68. Gerhardt 66 (Rick Muther): New to American astronauts Gordon Cooper and Virgil Grissom, who had former 500 winner Jim Rathmann acting as chief crew, and fitted with a supercharged Offy. Entered at the Indy 500 as the Pure Firebird 76, the car was crashed in practice by both Lee Roy Yarbrough and Greg Weld and did not make the race. Art Pollard took over the drive after the Indy 500, but the Rathman team borrowed a different Gerhardt to him to use at Milwaukee a week later, presumably because this car was being repaired. It is thought that the team's regular car raced for the first time at Langhorne on 12 June. It was entered by G. C. R. Inc as the #76 again at Indy in 1967 and driven in practice by Rick Muther but did not attempt to qualify. Unknown after May 1967.
  69. Gerhardt 66 (Bruce Jacobi): George Walther (Dayton Steel Foundry) acquired a second 1966 Gerhardt to replace the car wrecked in Carl Williams' qualifying crash at Milwaukee in August 1966. The replacement car appeared in September 1966 and was driven by George Snider, Rick Muther, Arnie Knepper, Bruce Jacobi and Al Smith until it was wrecked by Smith at Milwaukee in 1967. Presumably the same car was rebuilt and appeared again as the #77 Gerhardt used by the team in the first half of 1968. Walther then withdrew from Indy racing (until 1970) and although the Gerhardt was entered for Indy in 1969, it did not arrive. The last mention of it was in November 1970, when Walther's crew chief George Morris was considering putting a Chevy engine into it for road races. The car mysteriously reappeared in the UK some time in the mid-1990s. With Paul Coombs of SVS Ltd (Eccles, Gtr Manchester) by 2006 . Bought by Alex Elliott in February 2007. When Alex removed a piece of post-68 bodywork, the car was found to still have the livery and stickers from the 1968 Indy 500. In July 2015, Alex advised that the car "now lives in New York and has been restored to full working condition".
  70. Lola T80 (Mickey Shaw): New to Sheraton-Thompson, the team owned by Shirley Murphy and William Ansted, with George Bignotti as chief crew and AJ Foyt as lead driver. Murphy and Ansted ran auto parts maker Thompson Industries, which was owned by hotel chain Sheraton. Sheraton-Thompson also had a Lotus 34 for Foyt and he preferred that car, so the Lola was raced at Indy 1965 by Al Unser as the #45 entry. It was not seen again that season. Tentatively identified as the car entered by Michner Petroleum in 1966 as their #34 entry for Larry Dickson, Used occasionally during 1966, 1967 and 1968 by Michner until the car was destroyed in the accident at Milwaukee in 1968 that claimed the life of Ronnie Duman. Norm Brown was driving the Michner Lola and was hit by Duman's car. Brown was trapped in the burning car for some time and was badly burnt. The Lola was destroyed.
  71. Gerhardt 67 (Ebb Rose): Herb Porter and Ebb Rose of Racing Associates entered a #89 Gerhardt with Offy turbo engine for Rose at the 1967 Indy 500. Rose did not qualify the #89 but it was raced at the next two events by teammate Bobby Grim. Unknown after July 1967.
  72. Eisert 65 (Greg Weld): New for Skip Hudson to drive at the 1965 Indy 500 as J Frank Harrison's #96 Harrison Special. The new car got on track on 13 May, at which point the older 1964 car was renumbered from 96 to 93. Hudson was a successful sports car racer, but was unable to pass his rookie test when an engine blew, so Al Unser took over the drive but he made no attempt to qualify the car. Unser then drove the car through the 1965 USAC season, but only once finished inside the top 10. The 1965 car was retained for the opening races of the 1966 season, driven by Unser at Phoenix and by Billy Foster at Trenton. It then became the team's #93 entry, and was only seen again at Fuji, where Jerry Grant finished tenth. Greg Weld failed to qualify the car for the 1967 Indy 500, after which it was sold to Don Wilcox, who raced it at Pikes Peak and made an unsuccessfiul attempt to qualify at Indianapolis Raceway Park in July. The old car was ideal for the SCCA's new Formula A, so was sold to Stew McMillen (Libertyville, IL) who raced it in SCCA Nationals, winning twice, and in Pro races. At the end of 1968 he took it out to New Zealand, racing it at Baypark Raceway in December, before it was leased to Dennis Marwood for the 1969/70 season. It returned to the US later in 1970 and was acquired by Bill Tempero (Fort Collins, CO), who fitted it with wedge-style bodywork and raced it in Pro races and SCCA Nationals in 1971, then in Midwest Division Formula A in 1972. It was later converted for street use by brothers Wayne and Steve Huntley in Nebraska and was also used as a show car by Fred Bosselman in the late 1970s or early 1980s, probably at his Bosselman Truck Plaza in Grand Island, Nebraska. In the early 1990s it was acquired by Bill Wiswedel (Holland, MI) who has restored it to 1965 colours but still with the later, squarer bodywork.
  73. Lotus 38 [5] (Lee Roy Yarbrough): Built 1966 by Abbey Panels for Dean Van Lines. For Mario Andretti at the 1966 Indy 500 (#64 practiced but not raced). To Gene White 1967: for Lloyd Ruby to drive at Langhorne 19 Jun 1967 (won) but Ruby used the Mongoose elsewhere in 1967. The Lotus was Ruby's backup car, usually numbered #95, but was raced here because Ruby's regular car was at Mosport for the rain-delayed race. This car then went to Paul Wells who, judging by the modification to the car, used it in minor F5000 events but no results have been found. It was bought by Chuck Haines (St Louis, MO) who sold it on to the Houston, Texas partnership of Steve Forristall and John Mecom. Doug Nye reports that it then went to the same anonymous US owner that owns 38/3. In 2008, Chuck Haines reacquired 38/5 and started restoring it. Restored by Walter Goodwin between 2016 and 2017, and on display at the Historic Indycar Exhibition in May 2017, by which time it had been acquired by Robert G. Hunt.
  74. Watson 64 (Norm Hall): Built new by AJ Watson for Rodger Ward to race in 1964 for the Leader Card team as the #2 Kaiser Aluminum entry. Fitted with a Ford V8. Finished second at Indy that year and had two other second places later in the season. Taken by Leader Card to Indy again in 1965 as the #15 backup and used in practice by Jud Larson but wrecked and did not start. Brought back out later in the 1965 season for Bob Mathouser, and again for the same driver once at the start of 1966. Sold to Norm Hall over the 1966/67 close season who linked up with Barney Navarro to use the 199 ci 6-cylinder AMC Rambler turbo engine that Navarro had been developing. Appeared from 1967 to 1972 but, as a general rule, failed to qualify or failed to start. It appeared at Rafaela 1971 - only its fourth actual race start - driven by Dave Strickland and in practice at Indy that year by Les Scott. Jigger Sirois made another unsuccessful attempt to qualify the #50 Navarro-Rambler at the 1972 Indy 500. It was later acquired from Navarro by Rodger Ward and restored to its 1964 specification in the late 1980s. Subsequent history unknown until part of a display of Indycars at Monterey in August 2007 when it was owned by Tom Malloy and said to be "s/n 001" and then at Fontana in March 2008 alongside the Branson sister car.
  75. Mongoose 67 (Gary Congdon): New to the G. C. R. team managed by Jim Rathmann and backed by two US astonauts. Entered as the #71 at the 1967 Indy 500 but crashed in practice by Bobb Johns. Reappeared as Milwaukee later in the year as the #76 for Gary Congdon when it had been converted from Offy to Ford power. Then sold to J.C. Agajanian and entered as the #98 Agajanian REV 500 for Billy Vukovich at Riverside at the end of the season. Retained as the #98 entry for Vukovich through 1968 except at the Indy 500 where it was the #97 entry for Gary Bettenhausen. Retained again for 1969, again as the #98 for Vukovich when it was used with Ford, Offy and Chevrolet engines. Retained again for 1970 but now as the #97 entry as the Agajanian team had a new Wolverine car as the #98. It appeared yet again in the middle of 1971, when it was raced twice by John Martin as the team's #97 entry. Then unknown until it was bought from Bob Jongbloed by an unknown owner as a "Brabham" but still wearing a USAC registration tag '71 - 97'. Identified by Dave Laycock from photographs as a 1967 Mongoose. Sold it 2012 to Butch Gilbert (Westley, CA) who started a restoration of the car to its 1969 livery.
  76. Gerhardt 66 (Norm Brown): New to Sid Weinberger to be the #72 Weinberger Homes Gerhardt-Ford that Gordon Johncock drives all season, and then the #49 Weinberger Homes Gerhardt-Ford that Norm Brown used in practice at the 1967 Indy 500 before the team's second Eagle was ready. Brown then crashed a #49 Weinberger Homes Gerhardt-Ford at Milwaukee a week later, and again on the opening lap of the IRP race in July. When the team used a Gerhardt later in the season, photographs show that it was a 1967 car. John Fugate worked for the Weinberger team from 1967 to 1970, when he was asked to disband the team and sell the cars. His recollection is that there were then two Gerhardts, one ex-Johncock and the other ex-Sam Sessions, so this car must have been the Johncock car. Both were sold to father and son racers in the US northwest who intended to use them in Supermodified racing. Fugate later heard that one of them was killed in a racing accident and does not believe either Gerhardt was raced. Subsequent history unknown.
  77. Hawk I (65) (Mario Andretti): The first Hawk appeared at the 1965 Indianapolis 500 as the #12 Dean Van Lines entry for Mario Andretti. Andretti used this car for seven other races in 1965, and also used it with great success in 1966, taking pole position nine times and winning seven times from ten race starts. The car was rebuilt for the 1967 season along the lines of the new 1967 Hawk but was damaged in practice at Phoenix. It was then Andretti's #64 backup car at the Indy 500, and then became the regular road racing car, being used by Andretti at Mosport Park in July, Mont-Tremblant in August, where it won both races, Hanford in October, Riverside in November, and finally Las Vegas in March 1968. It was entered at Indy again in 1968, this time as the #57, but did not appear on track. When the second 1968 Hawk was complete, the 1965 car was redundant, and its final appearance in Andretti's hands was at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb at the end of June. It was then sold to aircraft dealer Jack Adams, and it was raced as the #38 by Jim McElreath at four races from August onwards. It was entered by Adams for McElreath at the 1969 Indy 500 and although he qualified it, he retired early due to an engine fire. McElreath then left the Adams team and his replacements focused on the team's 1967 Lola, and the Hawk was not seen again until Indy the following May, when it was one of the team's three entries and had been rebuilt with wedge-shaped bodywork. Rick Muther qualified the car and went on to a most impressive eighth place. The Adams team by now was focused on a turbine car, but the Hawk was raced at Michigan and Ontario later in 1970. It returned yet again to the Indy 500 in 1971 and as the team's turbine car was again unable to get up to speed, Muther climbed into the ancient Hawk, now wearing inelegant bodywork crafted by chief mechanic Howard Millican, and qualified for its fifth Indy 500 in its seventh season of racing. Muther crashed out on this occasion. The car was still in Millican's workshop in February 1972 and it was sold for 1973 to Fred Graves (Hastings, NY) to be used as a Supermodified at Oswego and Lancaster Speedways in northern New York State in 1973, still wearing the 1971 Millican bodywork. Graves crashed while leading at Lancaster on 25 July 1973 and the car was very badly damaged in the ensuing fire. The history of the car is then unknown for 16 years until 1990, when Steve Forristall (Houston, TX) was reported to own its remains. Nearly 25 years later it was acquired by Ray Evernham in 2014 in a very dilapidated condition and with many of its original components long gone. Evernham was aware that a replica that had been built by Tom Brawner, nephew of the late Clint Brawner, which he had created using the template from the long-abandoned Brabham BT12 frame and had completed using all the redundant parts found in his uncle's workshop. Evernham bought this replica and took both the heavily modified ex-Supermodified car and the replica to the Hawk's original mechanic Jim McGee and Steve Panarites of Steve's Auto Fab (Jamestown, IN) for restoration. They carefully restored the original 1965 frame and built up the car using the original parts taken from the replica. It reappeared in early 2016 at the Amelia Island Concours where it took first in class, was driven at the Speedway by Andretti in May 2017, and was at the 2017 Pinehurst Concours and the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours. Sold by Evernham at the Mecum Auction in May 2022 to Ray Skillman (Greenwood, IN).
  78. Lotus 38 [8] (Graham Hill): Built mid-1966 for Team Lotus with symmetrical suspension. Believed to have been Jim Clark's car at Fuji 10 Oct 1966 (DNS). As backup car for Graham Hill at the 1967 Indy 500 (#80 not used). Ended up with 38/7 with a doctor in Indianapolis who sold the back-up car, 38/8, to Frank Eggers (St Charles, MO) for Formula A (later Formula 5000) events in 1968 and 1969. Also entered by Royal American Competition Ent Ltd for John Martin (Bristol, WI) at three races in April-June 1970 then for Eggers at Elkhart Lake July 1970. Eggers recalled that he "traded this car to someone in Texas for a Trans-Am Firebird". This would be the Jerry Crew (Dallas, TX) who advertised a Lotus 38 ("has to be good for something!") in August 1974. According to Doug Nye, this car went from Crew to Jim Haynes (of Lime Rock), to Sam Foster and then to a private collection in Virginia some time before 1990.
  79. Gerhardt 66 (Bobby Unser): The Leader Card Racers team of Bob Wilke and Jud Phillips acquired two new 1966 Ford-engined Gerhardts and ran them for Don Branson with numbers #4 and #91. Assuming there was no number swapping, the #4 was Don Branson's first choice car during 1966 and was then taken over by Bobby Unser, who crashed it in practice at Trenton in September. It was retained as a backup for 1967 when it was raced by Unser in the two opening races, was his #86 backup car at the Indy 500, and his mount at Langhorne in June and in July. Then sold to Gordy Johncock, fitted with a turbo Offy, raced at Phoenix in November 1967, and used to win at Hanford in early 1968. Sold after the 1968 Indy 500 to Boyce Holt, and entered as the #44 Gerhardt-Chev towards the end of the 1968 season. It returned for a few races in 1969 as the #71 Boyce Holt Muffler entry, but was crashed by Bruce Walkup at Milwaukee August 1969, and then sold to Lloyd W. Gifford (Ft Wayne, IN) who rebuilt it with a 302ci Ford stock block engine and ran it in 1970, 1971 and 1972. By 1990, a car wearing #71 was with collector Bob McConnell (Urbana, OH) but said to be a 1968 car. Not mentioned in recent descriptions of McConnell's collection.
  80. Gerhardt 67 (Gordon Johncock): New to Gordon Johncock's new Gilmore-backed team for 1967 as a second car with fully-rivetted bodywork, following the early car with Dzus-fastened sides that Johncock had used in testing prior to the opening race. Johncock used this fully-rivetted second car for the race at Phoenix in April, and is thought to have used at at Trenton. After using the Dzus-fastened at the Indy 500 and at Milwaukee in June, photographs show he used the fully-rivetted car at Langhorne in July, where he took pole position in a new record for a one-mile closed course of 125.913 mph, at Mont-Tremblant and Milwaukee in August, at Hanford, and at Riverside. For 1968, Johncock acquired another new Gerhardt, but one of his 1967 cars is likely to have been his early-season car and may have become his short-track car after the Indy 500. Photographs suggest that this car is the one he used at Stardust in March, and Phoenix in April. History then unknown but it may have become a show car for Gilmore Broadcasting and remained in the Gilmore stable after Gilmore and Johncock split at the end of the 1970 season. This is likely to be the ex-Johncock Indy car that Jim Gilmore had in the recreation room of his home on Gull Lake, near Kalamazoo, MI, in 1985. The car was still owned by Gilmore at the time of his death in December 2000. Bought from the estate by Phil Gumpert (Noblesville, IN) in 2001. Sold to Jack Murray (San Diego, CA) in September 2014.
  81. Curtis 67 (TBA): The original Frank Curtis Indycar design first appeared at Trenton in September 1967, where ex-NASCAR driver Bay Darnell drove, but did not start the race. Darnell drove the car throughout 1968, but its record was dire: a mixture of failures to qualify, failures to start, wrecks and blown engines. After Dee Jones tried it briefly during practice for the 1969 Indy 500, the drive was taken over by Al Loquasto for the rest of 1969, and in July, it was the only rear-engined car in a dirt track race at Nazareth. He qualified last, and was lapped 16 times in the 89-lap race. However, the ninth placed finish was the highest in the car's three-year career. Loquasto continued with the Curtis-Chevrolet until Trenton April 1970, where he had engine problems and swapped into Gig Stephens' car for the race. For the 1970 Indy 500, Loquasto acquired a 1968 Gerhardt, entered by Robert Raines, with Frank Curtis staying on as chief mechanic. The Curtis-Chevrolet was not seen again. In April 2007, the Curtis was offered on eBay looking pretty much untouched since its 1969 Indy 500 appearance. In 2019, it was owned by Greg Smith (Melbourne, Australia).
  82. Eagle 66 (TBA): A customer car sold to Lindsey Hopkins and entered for the 1966 Indy 500 for Roger McCluskey to drive as the #8 G. C. Murphy car. Also raced by McCluskey for the rest of 1966 then McCluskey's backup #72 entry in 1967. Hopkins bought a new 1967 Eagle for McCluskey in 1967 and he used the newer car at the Indy 500, but used the 1966 car at Milwaukee in June, at Mosport Park in July, and at Riverside in November. The 1966 car was also raced Hanford and Phoenix early in 1968 but it was badly damaged at the latter race, and was not seen again until Phoenix in November and Riverside two weeks later, where AJ Foyt relieved McCluskey for part of the race. Wally Dallenbach took over as Hopkins' driver in 1969 and Hopkins' stable of four Eagles was reorganised. The 1966 car was raced by Dallenbach at Phoenix and Hanford at the start of 1969, was his backup at the Indy 500, and was then fitted with a Chevrolet engine for road races at Continental Divide and Indianapolis Raceway Park. After Dallenbach's usual primary car was heavily damaged at Dover Downs, the 1966 car, now nicknamed "Old Clyde", was his usual car in late 1969 and early 1970. He continued with "Old Clyde" during the 1970 season after the team's new Kuzma chassis proved too slow, and was last seen at Phoenix in November 1970. It was then retired but may have remained in Dallenbach's part of the Hopkins operation when Duane Glasgow (Hasting, MI) became his chief mechanic for the 1971 season. Glasgow remained with Hopkins until he retired from the sport in 1974, and he sold the 1966 Eagle and the two newer 1972 Eagles he'd been running to Fred Fuhr (Hastings, MI). Fuhr sold the 1966 car in 1979 to Bob Ames (Portland, OR), who sold it in about 1986 to Wally Dallenbach. Paul Dallenbach drove the car to Indianapolis in 1987 to be restored by Wayne Leary, and an article on the restoration in Open Wheel (December 1989 p66) referred to it as the 1966 McCluskey car. It later spent many years on display in the lobby of Unser Karting (Denver, CO). In late 2018 or early 2019, it was reported that the car had been sold to Chris MacAllister (Indianapolis, IN).

The foundation for this research is the work done by the late Phil Harms collating the results of all AAA, USAC and CART races, including the period covered here. His data was refined by Michael Ferner who added more information before making it available to OldRacingCars.com. Since the start of the USAC project on OldRacingCars.com in 2004, a wealth of further information has been gleaned from the Carl Hungness and Donald Davidson Yearbooks, Formula and On Track magazines, USAC News, National Speed Sport News and other published sources. Gerry Measures has also provided much information from his files as have others on TNF and Trackforum. Since 2009, the work of Simmo Iskül and others identifying cars from period photographs has has moved this research forward significantly.
