1985 mecham racing trans am

as many of you know or dont know , i acquired a mecham racing spoiler off an 84 trans am . Does anyone have any pics of an 85. I have heard that the cars were made until 86, and not very many were made in 85 or 86. I want to see what kind of two tone paint jobs they have , and if i like what they look like i think i might consider making it a mecham clone. heres a pic of mine as it sits now.

reminds me alot of the mustang wings, sorta like a wraparound mixed with a Mecham unless my memory has failed me, if it has I'll get corrected.

That white MSE looks like it just has a regular areo wing spoiler used from 86-90.

this is off topic but.... when i saw the RAII for third gens i absolutly hated it... but it looks nice on your car i guess the bigger wing sets it off.

but i'd say time for some new wheels.... looks really good also if you paint it keep the two tone

well thanks, i just got my tires today from the tirerack , A+ service i might add, two days to get my tires, now im still waiting on the rims. I think the spoiler on the white mse doesnt look like a stock aerowing, it looks like it has more kick up . I just havent found any info on an 85 or 86 mse.

Here's a pic my 9 year old brother took in Chicago in the end of june. He told dad he had to get a pic of that body style T/A
It's a 84 mecham T/A and it's got the number 20 on the drivers side headlight. I know you wanted a 85 But this one is 2 tone.
EDIT: forgot pic

Go to www.highperformancepontiac.com , HPP magazines website. They had a feature on a Mecham a few months ago along with some detailed info concerning the cars. The article should be on the website.
