1969 AAR Eagle Mark 7 Monoposto

    The 1969 Eagle Santa Ana was a completely new design by Tony Southgate. With a wedge body popularized by the lotus 56, the car was very effective on road courses but may have had too much drag for the high-speed ovals.

    Fitted with a 318 ci Gurney/Weslake Ford V-8 Eagle 701 was built for Dan Gurney to race at the 1969 Indy 500 where it finished second to Mario Andretti's Brawner Hawk.

    Gurney also finished second in 1969 at Continental Divide Raceway, 1st at IRP, 1st and 2nd at Brainard. Dan went on win at Sears point to start the 1970 Indy car season using Eagle 701 which would be Dan's last Indy car win. Eagle 701 was also driven by Swede Savage during the 1970 season.

    The car was sold to Carroll Shelby to run drag racer Danny Ongias in the Indy 500 but after he crashed the car in a Phoenix test he stepped down and Shelby replaced him with Jerry Grant. Jim Malloy also drove the car in 1971.

    The car was tied up with legal issues for several years after and even had a connection to actress Elizabeth Taylor.

    Ray Evernham came across the car while filming his cable tv program Americarna.

    The car was restored by Racecar restorations in Indianapolis and is fitted with a Gurney Westlake engine from the 1969 season rotation.
