GARAGE CLUB: Hammerhead
Join us at Garage Club for an exclusive showcase of the Hammerhead, a custom-built car that has captured the hearts of over 100,000 social media followers and made a sensational debut at SEMA 2023. This project is not just a car build; it's a captivating narrative of family, craftsmanship, and community originating from Hamilton County's automotive scene.
Meet the Camerons: Russell and his son Cavan, who together embarked on an extraordinary journey to create the Hammerhead. This project fuses Russell's love for the classic second-generation Firebird Trans Ams with Cavan's innovative vision during his high school senior internship. The result is a stunning 1973 Firebird, marrying the allure of exotic street cars with the adrenaline of race cars, and featuring high-performance parts from 1994-2002 Reynard Champ Cars. With a robust 400 CID engine, cutting-edge Motec paddle-shifted transmission, high-performance Brembo brakes, and Michelin racing tires, the Hammerhead is engineered to soar at speeds up to 202 mph.
But the story doesn't end with the car. Mollianne Cameron, the matriarch of the family, is weaving this incredible journey into a documentary, Mentored, that will be featured at film festivals in Indiana, across the US, and internationally. This project is a celebration of the Cameron family's dedication and the boundless possibilities that lie within the automotive hobby. Join us to experience the magic of the Hammerhead and the remarkable tale of the Cameron family.
