        Comments:

        The Al Unser is one three open wheel Indy cars produced for the 1970 model year, along with AJ Foyt and Parnelli Jones. The three models share
        the same body casting and differ only in the inscriptions on the base. The base is also found with no name at all, but is otherwise the same casting.
        The exhaust pipes are also the same although a loose white plastic spoiler fits all three but is typically associated only with the Parnelli Jones version.

        Al Unser Colors

        Although the Indy Car casting comes in many colors, the conscensus is that the Al Unser was only made in blue and purple.

        Short Shot Exhaust Pipes

        An unusual variation in the exhaust pipes is known. It is not entirely clear if this was an intentional variation or a tooling issue.

        Shawn's Take!

        The four most common colors of the Indy Cars, Al Unser, Parnelli Jones and Al Unser are purple, red, royal blue and magenta. They also came in orange, red-orange
        gold, ruby, teal, light green, and light orange being the least common color. Common colors start around $25 with the light orange bringing around $75. Add another
        $25 to $50 for a Parnelli Jones (PJ) with its spoiler wing.
