Thank you, Mr. Rowland.
There are many liveries of this car. Personally, I’d start with the Dan Gurney Rex Mays 300 winner with the Gurney/Weslake stock block engine. You could follow that with the Penske/Donohue Sunoco sponsored stock block car. Next would be Bobby Unser’s Indy winning car with turbo-Offy power (that car could be done in road racing dress with a four cam Ford engine).
For something “current”, Tony A to Z is running an Eagle in the F5000 Vintage series. I’d have to do some further digging to see if the car ran in English or Austrailian F5000 series.
A quick Google of 1968 AAR Eagle shows a number of cars on Images (beware: a lot on non-pertinent images show up).
On the turbine, I specifically mentioned the ‘68 Lotus turbine. The ‘67, while interesting and it sat the world on fire, only ran at Indy. The Lotus turbines ran at Indy, Milwaukee (twice), Trenton, Hanford, and Phoenix on the ovals, and Continental Divide, IRP (I was there as an impressionable 13 year old), and Riverside on road courses. Repoewered, they ran in USAC in ‘69. Much more marketable.
