Car of the Week: 1969 Mercury Dan Gurney Drag Pak Cyclone Spoiler An "Aero Warrior" 1969 Mercury Dan Gurney Drag Pak Cyclone Spoiler roars back to life.

These four Aero Cars, aka "Aero Warriors," were developed specifically to race on the NASCAR circuit by Dodge, Plymouth, Ford and Mercury for the 1969 and 1970 racing seasons. The cars were based on production automobiles, but were enhanced with more aerodynamic body features. Street versions of these Aero Warriors were offered by the manufacturers to meet NASCAR's homologation requirement, which, during this time, was set at 500 units of each model.
