Cushman Competition in Maine was selling all sorts of Gurney stuff and apparently continues to sell some today. Knight racing in the UK seems to be making new heads. There have been some Gurney covers for windsor heads cast in years past. Although state of the art in their time, Gurney heads can't get very close to today's heads for making good power...but still kill it on the cool scale!

Incredible. Stories like this are just a reminder we are temporary keepers of things. However one does it, hate it when a gem is treated as crap! I can see where an abandoned or forgotten situation happens but to pile more crap on it is absurd.

Lots of those got use in those days. Porsche has used them...
