Not at all , love it.
Maybe Gulf sponsored Buggys as well?

Also at the 2018 Rolex Reunion, a 1970 Porsche 917. Unrestored I believe.

Gulf livery looks good on anything!
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Definitely 60s colors. I think that Andy Warhol did artwork on some BMW M1 race cars. I wonder how positively his artwork impacts the value of already extremely valuable cars. I remember having the BMW brochure of his art cars.

Yes, there is a series done some were race cars, commissioned by BMW by various artist like Alexander Calder, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol and others.  I think BMW owns all the cars so value is kind hard to establish since each is unique, on-off and not for sale.  (Probably not to everyone's liking.)

Yes, everything.  Slot cars too.

I love all the original GT-40s. The Gulf livery is my favorite. How much does an original go for? I like the old Mercury N.A.S.C.A.R.s. The '58 Mercury could come with an optional 400 h.p. engine, making it the highest horsepower car of the '50's.

I discovered the '58 Mercury Montclair Super-Marauder several years ago, while cruising through for-sale ads on Hemmings.
Waitin' for the day I get my first '70 Shelby convertible!

Here's another one from Carmel/Monterey during the Rolex. I saw this Ford F-150 painted in the Gulf colors. I didn't take a close up photo but it was in the background of a different pic. You can see just the front end of the truck. It's a little blurry as I zoomed in on it from a different pic.

Some things are just not meant to be together, like peanut butter and Jalapeno samiches. :-[
