48: John Barnes - 1969 Mustang

About this episode

John Barnes discusses the transformation of a 1969 Mustang coupe into a high-performance CAM-T car.

What started out as a would-be parts car in 2019, John Barnes and his brother William started building a 1969 Mustang coupe into a monster of a CAM-T car. After beating the snot out of the 289 for years, John decided it was time to go all in with a Coyote swap coupled to a BMW DCT to push the Meier front suspension and Cobra IRS to the limits.
