Hello from Belgium: MSE 1983 nr 27/150

Hi there!

Since half a year a own nr 27 MSE Mecham Racing Trans Am, fully documented as third owner. I have never seen another one in Belgium...don't know if there are any others on this forum? Car is not 100% current with the Mecham specs. It misses the original hood and the lower front bumper. For the rest it is genuine! interior is as new, only 40000 miles documented! Here are some pictures when I just bought it. Meanwhile some visual corrections and TLC updates have been done

Very nice. I was watching this car on ebay when it was listed there. Sounds like it went to a good home...someone who recognises it for what it is instead of someone just wanting to run it into the ground.

Thanks guys! It's indeed a one of a kind, certainly here in the EU...anyone know if there is a dedicated forum or site for these MSE T/A?

Re: Hello from Belgium: MSE 1983 nr 27/150

Hi all, back from a long time ago. Nice to see that the forum is still actively used!

I am still fan of Firebird and Trans Ams - but I decided to sell my MSE... If anyone is interested, just send me a message. I am looking at a convertible or maybe another firebird or Trans Am with targa roof so I can take my family along on a trip... In summary, the complete ignition system has been replaced, some TLC left and right, 4 new tires and new switches for windows and lights are installed. Also I renewed all wheather rubber striping on doors and windows. It comes with a lot of documentation on the car including original build sheet and many invoices of maintenance and repairs. It has 69000 miles on it and all of the MSE details. Besides the hood and the air filter it is original as far as I can tell...
I will also post it in the "Firebirds for sale" topic. Thanks!

Nice car, good luck on the sale. I had a 1984 MSE Trans am, it was a fun car but not original when I bought it. Amazing to see the car in Belgium since all the Mecham cars came from Phoenix, Arizona.
