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.
With his success, the Dan Gurney fan club flourished, with a worldwide membership that included people from behind the Iron Curtain. In fact, at one point, Car and Driver Magazine Launched a "Dan Gurney For President" campaign that is periodically resurrected.
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.
