Dan Gurney was shocked, moved to tears and then reflected on how proud he still was almost 50 years later. Those were his reactions after son Justin presented him with the best birthday present ever on Monday -- his restored 1967 Eagle that he qualified in the middle of the front row at Indianapolis. "One of my favorites," said the 84-year-old legend on Wednesday while sharing stories with Parnelli Jones and Dario Franchitti as they admired the car at the All-America Racing shop in Santa Ana, Ca. "I don't think I've seen it since 1967 and it looks so good and brings back so many memories." Franchitti flew into Long Beach for this weekend's IndyCar race and drove right to AAR to see two of his heroes and a classic car. "What a day, I wish it wouldn't have ended," said the three-time Indy 500 winner whose appreciation and knowledge of history isn't lost on two of the all-time greats. "I think it's great that Dario cares so much about history and old guys like Dan and I," said the 1963 Indy winner.

Dan Gurney Special Cougar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCvHoidDcMU
This '67 Cougar DGS is a very nice example of a solid, un-messed-with, standard first-gen Cougar. Low mileage, no rust, and sporting its original interior. Cars like this are getting harder and harder to find!

Dan Gurney: All American Racer - Birth of AAR (episode 1)
Welcome to the first episode of Dan Gurney: All American Racer, Birth of AAR presented by Bell Helmets. Gurney was one of the greatest drivers, innovators, thinkers, that America has produced. He remains the only American team owner to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix in his own car, and RACER's Robin Miller took the opportunity to accompany Gurney down the hallway of the All American Racing workshop in Santa Ana, California, and ask him for the stories behind some of the many hundreds of photos on the walls. The result is a six-episode series giving some insight into the genial gentleman -- and gentle man -- who turned All American Racing into a winner on both sides of the Atlantic. In this first episode, Dan tells Robin about the first Eagle designs.

[h=1]Dan Gurney: All American Racer - The Eagle Soars (episode 2) presented by Bell Helmets.[/h]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9oZ6djVgco
Gurney was one of the greatest drivers, innovators, thinkers, that America has produced. He remains the only American team owner to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix in his own car, and RACER's Robin Miller took the opportunity to accompany Gurney down the hallway of the All American Racing workshop in Santa Ana, California, and ask him for the stories behind some of the many hundreds of photos on the walls. The result is a six-episode series giving some insight into the genial gentleman -- and gentle man -- who turned All American Racing into a winner on both sides of the Atlantic.
In this second episode, Dan tells Robin about taking the Eagle into Formula 1 and talks of Nurburgring and Spa-Franchorchamps, the two most daunting tracks on the grand prix schedule at that time.
This video is presented by Bell Helmets. The famously simple logo that became simply famous did so almost subconsciously. Just as, when you purchase a car, the number of similar examples you see on the road seemingly multiplies, once you start looking for Bell logos, you spot them everywhere, be they in frayed and sepia-tinted monochrome, in early glorious and classic Technicolor or embedded in the wild colorschemes on helmets of today.
But Bell's link up with Gurney is closer than that. The man who famously used to wrap a hotel handtowel around the lower part of his face to protect himself from the elements and debris was perhaps the natural choice to embrace the concept of a full-face helmet. Bell produced its first full-face motorcycle helmet in 1966, and Dan leapt at the chance to use one, debuting an all-black example in the 1968 Indy 500. Three years later, everyone who started the "500" was wearing Bell.

[h=1]Dan Gurney: All American Racer - A Different Era (episode 3) presented by Bell Helmets[/h]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xRcaQQFQjc
Gurney was one of the greatest drivers, innovators, thinkers, that America has produced. He remains the only American team owner to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix in his own car, and RACER's Robin Miller took the opportunity to accompany Gurney down the hallway of the All American Racing workshop in Santa Ana, California, and ask him for the stories behind some of the many hundreds of photos on the walls. The result is a six-episode series giving some insight into the genial gentleman -- and gentle man -- who turned All American Racing into a winner on both sides of the Atlantic.
In this third episode, Dan tells Robin about the danger, but also -- perhaps as a consequence -- the camaraderie that existed between racers in the 1960s. Younger viewers may also be startled by the lack of money floating around the paddocks of that era. Even the greatest drivers were humble, because the label "superstar' was only hung on pop music icons. Like the title of this episode suggests, it truly was a another time.

In this sixth episode, Dan tells Robin Miller about the striking Pepsi Challenger in which both Geoff Brabham and Mike Mosley starred, and which was so advanced -- so good, basically -- that it got penalized.
