A 1967 American Eagle Gurney F1 car. Isn't it fantastic. Look at the detail and engineering. The thing I love about the cars of the sixties is that this is what formula cars looked like before the downforce era that was to soon follow. Modern Formula 1 cars look like they've been grown but these cars from the sixties were built. Maybe not well built by todays standards but these things were made out of steel and aluminium, carbon fiber was not a part of racing car construction then.

Theres a 1/8 model of this car for sale in Autobooks in Burbank on Magnolia going for about 1400US$ which if anyone would like to buy for me I'd be more than happy.
