Offering at $199,900
Chassis #511
Driven by Davey Jordan, 1970, and Swede Savage at the Questor Grand Prix, 1971
New in 1969 to American International Racing Inc, the team formed in January 1969 by actor James Garner and mobile home tycoon John C Crean (San Juan Capistrano, CA). The Eagle was intended for an AMC engine but AMC pulled out of the deal in August 1969, and the car remained unraced that season. Entered by AIR as their #21 car for Dave Jordan (Cypress, CA) in the Pro series in 1970 using BRE Chevy V8 engines in the first five races. The car was fitted with a Bill Stroppe 305ci Ford V8 for testing at the end of the season. For the Questor GP in March 1971, the car was taken over by Junor-Tarozzi Engineering (Tustin, CA), led by former AAR Trans-Am project manager Robert L. Tarozzi, and fellow AAR crew member Bruce Junor, and fitted with a Keith Black Plymouth engine for Swede Savage to drive.
Located in Colorado
The Eagle has undergone a multi year restoration to perfection and has been track tested.
