Ferrari Mailing List: Re: N'Ring - F1 1967

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Ahhh Yesh - 1967.  The AAR Eagles.  While working with Ferrari Willi, AKA 
Ferrari Bubba, we went to the AAR Santa Ana shop quite often.  Lots of good 
times.  Gurney is a big fellow, in size, in heart, and in manners.  When I 
was taking pictures of the new 12 cylinder Westlake Eagle all porcupined in 
body monocoque sheets I knew I was looking at something special - just how 
special I didn't appreciate at the time.
Ach - those were the days - thank you Willi
