History:

In 1965, with help from Carroll Shelby and the Goodyear tire company, Dan Gurney began work on his first single-seat racing cars, which he dubbed the Eagles. The Eagle MK1 and Eagle MKII were designed in parallel, with the MK1 intended for Formula 1 competition while the MKII was built to compete in the IndyCar USAC circuit.

Len Terry helped design and build the Indy-Grand Prix car. His resume included work on the Indy 500-winning Lotus 38. His design for the AAR car was a full-length riveted aluminum monocoque chassis fitted with a beak nose which had been inspired by the Eagle name.

The first Mk1, dubbed T1F (Terry Mark I type 'F', the letter before 'G' of Gurney, which was the name given to the Weslake V12 powered cars), took to the track with old 2.7-liter Coventry Climax FPF inline-4 engine in its place. The Eagle Mk1 made its race debut at the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix, with a single car entered for Dan Gurney. The Eagle made an instant visual impact, with its gracefully crafted chassis clothed in dark blue paint, with a white-lipped radiator opening and a single white stripe running the length of the car's dorsal surface; an elegant interpretation of the USA national racing colours. Unfortunately for the team the car, despite its good looks, failed to finish. The following race at Reims in France was better for the team, as Gurney took his and his teams first points of the season with a 5th place finish. They ended the season with 4 points to their names, and a 7th place in the Drivers' World Championship.
