Did Gulf Oil ever sponser Mustangs back in the day?
 
The reason I ask is that it occured to me that it might be cool to use those colors as Ford raced with them on GT's. I did a Google image search and found a couple 65's painted in that scheme.

Just curious if there were any official teams.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I like precisely how these guys laid this out, but this is just so you have an idea of what I mean....

They also had a dark Gulf paint scheme. I modelled my GT40 paint after that one and my all time favorite youtube video (turn the volume up high for this one, it's 18 seconds of pure bliss):

Wow, that was great!

Came across as dark blue on my laptop for some reason.
