I like the white wheel/white numbers and black wheel/black numbers.
In the past when I've painted team colors, I've usually taken it to the next level by also painting a visor, spoiler and in the case of these cars I would have painted the air dam as well. For example, car A would have had all the "trim" in white (spoiler/numbers/wheels, etc) and car B would have all the "trim" in black. One other thing I might do is paint the cars in reverse. If car A was red with white stripes i would paint car B white with red stripes. Some paint schemes lend themselves better to this approach.
Not taking away from a good paint job, just giving others reading this thread some ideas on how they could paint a team scheme.

Is that Pantera body legal in this class?
Watching a period correct Pantera or GT40 run along side the typical Trans Am cars is pretty awesome. It adds something different to the field without really giving a aerodynamic advantage.

Hey gang. I mentioned this in the other VTA thread, but you can also find some good period-correct paint schemes by looking at sports car racing from the 60's and early 70's. There is a PC game called GT Legends that has a bunch of great examples. If you google it, you will find a bunch of fan sites that have screen shots and custom, vintage inspired paint schemes. Here is a good one:
