Dan Gurney has had 3 very
successful careers: A) Racing Driver, B) Racecar Manufacturer / Inventor
and C) Long Term Team Owner. His racing career, which started with a
Triumph TR2 in 1955, spanned 15 years. During that time he became the top
road racing star in America, as well as one of the most popular F1 Grand
Prix drivers ever. Gurney etched himself a place in racing lore with
exciting battles against drivers like Stirling Moss, Jimmy Clark, John
Surtees, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Phil Hill and many others on the
classic road courses of the Nuerburgring, the Targa Florio and Monte
Carlo. He remains the only US citizen to win a Grand Prix in a car of
his own construction in the 100 year history of F1 racing. |

 All 300 of the Gurney
Signature Edition Vehicles will feature Saleen's 465hp supercharged 281
cubic inch engine, short throw shifter, and 3.73 Max Grip rear axle. In
addition, the vehicles will have custom two-tone seats that feature either
blue or red Alcantaratm inserts designed to keep your rear-end
planted firmly behind the wheel. The legendary Gurney Eagle logo is
featured on the steering wheel and several other places around the car.The exterior reflects the look of Dan's 1969 Trans Am series Mustang, masterfully recreated in a fashion that honors history but looks aggressively towards the future. The heritage styled Gurney Edition body kit, "duck bill" rear spoiler and stinger style hood all come together in harmony with the carefully placed graphics and die cut Gurney Eagletm insignia. In honor of Mr. Gurney's All American Racer persona the cars will be offered in only three colors: Torch Red, Performance White and the feature color Vista Blue. One hundred of each color will be produced with contrasting color graphics and interiors, and a set of No.2 roundels to truly relive the Gurney experience. |
