Does anybody know what happened to this car?? I remember seeing a picture somewhere of a crashed 70 model M/T mach1 and I always wandered if that was the same car that had been possibly updated to a 70 model?

Sad that Nascar banned the Ford Cammer (at the request of Chrysler) never even allowing it to run! And then NHRA banning it later, after it kicked the shit out of Mopar's and GM's for some years. Bunch of whinning maggots! Sorry, it just pisses me off! Who knows what the Ford Cammer would have been, had it been more developed through the years..

What kind of exhaust is that i want that sound

[jamespipez]

they cut Dannys prediction at the end that one day a car would run a 4 sec quarter. People made fun of him for saying that but just look now.

I own the orriginal Top Fuel, dry deck blower manifold from Mickey Thompsons funny Car.

I also own two Cammers, an early 1964 lash cap engine, with second generation heads, and an Arias / Shelby big bore option aluminum block with Bill Coon heads.

[WoundedBear2k]

With Danny Ongias at the wheel, no less. Fantastic bit of drag history!

[xbones101]

Wow! That was awesome!!! I was 16 back then & I spent a lot of time at the track watching the funny cars. My favorites were MT's Mach1 & Tommy Grove's Mach 1. Both were SOHC powered & yeah, you had better hold your ears!
