Air date: Dec 20, 2024

Justin Gurney, son of racing legend Dan Gurney, invited Tom to receive and unveil his father's long-lost 1961 409ci Chevy Impala. Dan raced this car only once before selling it out of frustration. The racing authorities (FIA) refused to allow him to compete against a class of British saloon cars, claiming, "It didn't meet regulations," even though it was built perfectly to the rules. Follow along as Tom and Justin see the car for the first time and explore all the documentation that came with it.
