This recumbent style machine was the third prototype designed and constructed by Dan Gurney’s All American Racers in Santa Ana, California. The Honda engine had been reworked to give a larger capacity and the inlet ports re-machined to a steep downdraught configuration in the quest for more power. Compare this bike to the production version also on display.
