A historic reunion of Dan Gurney’s Eagle racing cars, including Revs’ own Eagle Mk 1 will bring Road America to life this week for the second Dan Gurney Eagle and All-American Racers (AAR) Reunion during the Weathertech Vintage Weekend with Brian Redman. The event, held in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin at Road America aims to bring together the over 150 Eagles Gurney and AAR built through his career.

The Eagle Revs is dispatching to the reunion is a special one, Chassis AAR104 was one of four Gurney Eagles built for Formula One racing and is the car Gurney was behind the wheel of when he won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix. The Eagle F1 car is an engineering marvel, with magnesium and titanium primarily used in the construction of its monocoque, suspension, and bodywork. Gurney’s win in Belgium would go down as his only victory with his own creation. It also landed Gurney amongst racing legends as he became one of only three people to build, drive and win in their own Formula one cars, joined by the company of Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren.

Gurney would race full time for another three years when he would pivot his career to fully focus on car building and team ownership in IndyCar and sportscar racing. Eagles would go on to win three Indy 500s under Gurney’s leadership: 1968, 1973 and 1975 when Bobby Unser won in a Jorgensen Eagle now under the custodianship of Revs.

To accompany the car, renowned engineer and Revs fabricator Dave Klym best known for his FABCAR engineering marvels will be in attendance to talk about his previous work done for AAR. Klym worked at AAR for two and a half years in the 1970s where he was a fabricator for the Eagle Indy Cars and the chief mechanic for Wally Dallenbach at the 1973 Indy 500.

“I learned a lot from [Gurney], we became good friends,” said Kylm.

Revs will be showing the Eagle as a static display within the Gurney reunion area along with other artifacts.

Gurney’s rich legacy can be seen throughout the museum. Including his two Eagle cars he built and the Ford GT40 MK IIB he raced at Sebring. Through his cars, and other artifacts, documents, and ephemera, Revs is able to preserve a part of Gurney’s racing legacy.
