Description
Johnny Rutherford's 1973 Gulf McLaren Jacket. The 1970s were an exciting time in Championship racing, tires were getting wider, speeds were increasing and race cars were growing wings. After struggling for years at Indianapolis, Rutherford made a change for the 1973 United States Auto Club (USAC) season by joining Team McLaren with iconic sponsorship from Gulf. It paid super dividends by being the fastest qualifier at 198.413 mph for the 1973 Indianapolis 500, placing his Offenhauser powered #7 on the pole. This was the beginning synergy that vaulted Rutherford and McLaren to the top of the sport in the years to come. From the Private Collection of Johnny Rutherford, 3-time Indianapolis 500 winner. Certificate of Authenticity included.REF#JSR1139
