Today, the Cleetus McFarland team is embarking on an exhilarating journey towards building a new race car, set to conquer the quarter-mile in a blistering 5 seconds. Their current car, Mullet, has been a jack of all trades but a master of none, prompting the decision to partner with Cameron Johnson Race Cars for a fresh start. The chosen platform? A 1969 Camaro, a quintessential American muscle car that will be transformed into a high-powered beast with a big block Chevrolet engine and twin turbo setup.
With a meticulous focus on performance, the team is starting from scratch, crafting the new car from raw metal components to ensure a lightweight and high-traction design. This approach contrasts with buying a pre-owned vehicle, allowing for a purpose-built machine tailored for speed. The build will incorporate top-tier components like TBM brakes, Menzer shocks, and Billet Specialties Wheels, setting the stage for a formidable racing contender.
The project, aptly named "Eagle," symbolizes the team's soaring ambitions to push the boundaries of speed and performance. As they document the build progress on CJ Race Cars' channel, enthusiasts can expect a thrilling narrative of innovation and precision engineering. Stay tuned as the 1969 Camaro undergoes a remarkable transformation, poised to leave a trail of burnt rubber and shattered records in its wake.
