In Dan Gurney’s Eagle Racing Cars: The Technical History of the Machines Designed and Built by All American Racers, the cars are the stars. Each model AAR produced is profiled in extensive technical detail accompanied by in-depth commentary from Dan Gurney and the designers of the various eras.

Featured cars include the purebred Eagles such as the history-making Grand Prix car, the furious Indianapolis machines of the 1960’s and 1970’s, and the all-conquering MkIII GTP Prototype of the 1990’s. Also explored in depth are the Eagles with mixed pedigrees such as the wild Can-Am McLeagle, the enormously popular Trans-Am AAR ‘Cudas, and the championship-winning Toyota Celicas.

Eagles, 157 altogether, were built to win, but they also possessed a distinctive aesthetic style that adds to their appeal. Their gorgeous paint schemes, distinctive "beaks," and other signature Eagle design elements made an artistic statement that dazzled competitors and fans alike.

Throughout this book, author John Zimmermann details how each Eagle made use of new design ideas, materials, and technical innovations, and how the lessons learned from one car were passed on to the next. He also explains how changes in regulations, sponsorships and personnel have shaped AAR’s performance through the years. Told from the inside, this is the definitive account of one of the great marques in American and international motor racing.
