Here are two old Indy cars recently resurrected from storage.

I built the '68 Eagle in 1972.  It came straight out of 30+ years of storage.  I even have the original box!  The paint is a bit dirty and the decals faded.  I did manage to wash off the dust.

The McLaren was always a fantasy car and was recently rebuilt and repainted.  It reflects a '74 McLaren but changed and updated in a subsequent year (pre-Cosworth).  There's nothing older than last year's race car.

Here is a third Indy survivor that is a parts bin project.  I have always been a fan of the supercharged Offy which ran in '66-'67 until overtaken by the turbo.  The chassis is the AMT Lotus with the engine from the Watson roadster. Some of the parts are nearly 50 years old, since I built several variations of the Lotus back in the day.  Tires are from Indycals.

Here are all three Indy cars I was working on at the same time. Ten years of Indy car development.  I think I'm going to do something simple next. Thanks for viewing.
