I have not been able to find the Castrol for Classic cars anywhere here in
Florida - guess I should call the distributor in Tampa.
I sent an email to Valvoline the other day and this is their response:
The Valvoline Racing Oils do have a slightly less of a detergent package in
the products, but the Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil product is still recommended
for daily use vehicles that do not have a catalytic converter, which your
vehicles should not, as it carries a 3 month/3,000 mile change interval.
Using 5 quarts of the Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil will be perfectly fine and
safe for use in your street vehicles.
