A nice article featuring my favorite driver and one of his toughest competitors as well as teammate.

Truly a great driver and an American Icon ! I had a Gurney Eagle Model as a child.. Thanks for sharing..
 
Here's a picture of Dan that I took in October, 1962 at the LA Times Grand Prix for Sports Cars where he was driving the Arciero Brothers Lotus 19.

I had a Gurney Eagle Model as a child.

One of the most beautiful race cars ever. The REVS Institute in Florida has a a very nice one.

Fine looking men in that picture. That was a fun day.
 
Mark Donohue remains my favorite driver to this day. His Penske liveried rides are still some of the best looking.......and I am extremely jealous of MadInNC's past access to several of them.

I have always admired Dan... I have several items autographed by him. I would love to have him autograph the gurney bubble on my GT as well...
 
Check out the exhaust pipes on the Eagle.

The detail and workmanship on the Eagle are incredible.
