85 Mecham Macho Trans am
While I was skimming the internet I found a picture of a restored 85 mse Macho Trans am (http://www.heathelmer.com/index.php?id=completed, it's 2nd from the bottom). I know that only around 20 were produced this year, but I cannot find out exactly what modifications mecham performed on them. I believe that the mods are somewhat different than the ones listed on this site for the pre 85 mse editions. I personally think that it is one of the coolest looking third gens that I've seen. Anyway, I would love to know exactly what these special Trans am's were and what extra features they had.

Re: 85 Mecham Macho Trans am
yeah I just wish I knew what upgrades it was given. No one seems to know, no matter what I type in on the web I just get a couple pictures and no specs. I had no idea it was that obscure.

Re: 85 Mecham Macho Trans am
So no one on this site knows anything about them? Does anyone at least know the performance mods? Did the Macho TA come with a 400 small block like some of the earlier mse Trans ams? I'm sorry to keep at this, but I think that someone has to know something about these cars, with how knowledgeable and helpfull everyone on this forum is. I really would appreciate any info anyone could give me.
