Our 1973 GTX
Not our 1973 Challenger, but same color. Ours had a black vinyl top.

The majority of them are the same: paint a car baby blue, put an orange stripe down the middle with an optional orange nose. There are a few variations, but that covers the majority of it. And it's all anyone ever copies anyhow. The Aston above was a deliberate attempt to get away from it, as were a few other efforts.
There's a baby version of Martini as well - that's a silver or white car with the tricolor stripe up the middle. Equivalent to the Gulf. But a real Martini livery is drawn on the car to show off the body, preferably with varying stripe widths. None of them are the same, and they'll vary pretty dramatically.
Opportunity wasted.
Nice work on the stripe widths.
had to get a few shots of my 1973 alfa in
Some center stripe variations. It's also interesting to see designers play with the relative stripe widths. Porsche runs a thinner red than Lancia or Ford.
An interesting variation from Porsche - it works pretty nicely desaturated.
And of course, even if it isn't the classic Martini...
Porsche 935 2.0L Baby. One of my favs.
Gulf may played out but it is still my all time favorite but I do really like this one:

I have a Flying Lizard t-shirt and two of their vintage Le Mans posters hanging on my wall. Their livery isn't likely to become iconic - too busy, really - but I love their posters.
Ooh I can join in. Both this, and myself are from 1974.
So is this one
The real reason I was in my "terrible twos" in 1974:
EDIT: the first one was a '77; fixed. Not that it mattered much...
St-st-st-station wagon!
Only problem is that doesn't look like a 74 RX-3 wagon. Well not a US version one at least. The bumpers are too nice looking and small on that one.
This was mine at one time, and it too is a 74:
I am angry I don't have too many pictures of it.
