The two 1973 cars were extensively rebuilt for 1974, emerging as effectively new cars. The main radiators were moved from in front of the rear wheels to the nose, with only the oil coolers remaining on top of the monocoque in front of the rear wheels. As in 1973, the first car was used at the opening races of the season, and the second car was prep...
Foyt's team built an all-new Coyote for 1975, an evolution of the 1974 design, but described as narrower, with better aerodynamics and monocoque that was smaller 2½ inches lower. This car was only used for the Indy 500 and the Pocono 500, the team's older 1974 cars being used at all the other races. The only time a second car was run all season was...
Having got through three seasons with the same two or three cars, Foyt eventually built a new Coyote for the 1978 Indy 500. It was much the same as its predecessors, but with detailed tidying.

The 1978 car then had differences in its rear suspension that distinguish it from the 1975 car. So the difficulty i...
My thanks to Simmo Iskül and 'gbl' for collecting and analysing a huge number of images to determine the exact racing history of each individual car built to this type. The exchange of clues between the three of us during November and December 2021 was such that at one point the editor was seeing Dzus fasteners in his sleep. At the time of writing,...
Coyote 67 ['67-1'] (AJ Foyt): New for AJ Foyt to drive at the 1967 Indy 500 as A.J. Foyt Enterprises' #14 Sheraton-Thompson entry. Foyt qualified fourth and won the race, his third win at the Speedway, after Parnelli Jones' STP Turbine expired within three laps of victory.
