When you combine the legendary Ford Mustang with the rare and ferocious Ford Cammer engine, you’re in for a wild ride unlike any other.
Let’s start with the Mustang itself – a 1969 fastback. Now, if you’re talking about iconic muscle cars from the ’60s and ’70s, the ’69 Mustang fastback is right up there at the top of the list. With its unmistakable lines and timeless design, it’s a true classic. And of all the years and models available, the ’69 Mustang holds a special place in our hearts.
But this isn’t your typical ’69 Mustang. Oh no, this bad boy is packing some serious heat under the hood. We’re talking about a 427 SOHC Cammer V8 engine – the stuff of legends. Now, you might be wondering what makes the Cammer so special. Well, let me break it down for you.
The Cammer engine, also known as the “90-Day Wonder,” was Ford’s answer to the Chrysler Hemi V8 domination in racing circles. Introduced in 1964, it was designed for high-rpm performance, making it a beast on the track. While it never got the chance to shine in NASCAR due to being banned before it could even compete, the Cammer found its calling in drag racing and street machines alike.
This particular ’69 Mustang Mach 1, dubbed the Sin City Shaker, is fitted with the legendary 427 Cammer engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. With 616 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 515 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm, this beast loves to rev and will easily hit 8,000 rpm without breaking a sweat.
Finished in Raven Black with gold and white striping, this Mustang looks like it rolled straight out of a vintage muscle car dream. Complete with a shaker hood, Hurst cue ball shifter, hood pins, window louvers, Firestone Wide Oval tires, and polished Torq-Thrust wheels, it’s a sight to behold.
And the best part? This unique and badass Cammer Mustang is up for grabs at the upcoming Mecum Auctions event in Glendale, Arizona. So, if you’re in the market for a one-of-a-kind piece of automotive history, don’t miss your chance to bid on this beauty.
