WTB: 85-86 MSE MAGNUM CAMARO

Looking for a 85-86 MSE camaro. The condition of the car really does not matter. Any info on where one is, is greatly appreciated. They only made 12 of these cars. I know of only 2. #12, and a white car.
$100 reward to anyone who can get me in DIRECT contact with a owner of one of these. Besides for #12.

Re: WTB: 85-86 MSE MAGNUM CAMARO

Wouldn't it just be easier to have a sign shop print up some graphics and make a Rice-a-Roni spoiler from scratch? You can't tell me that you couldn't build a better performing and looking car yourself. I mean I understand it's a tuner shop product from the 80's, but they're far enough on the outer limits of obscurity, are they really much different than Joe Bob Banjo plucker building a souped up Camaro in his corn crib?

Re: WTB: 85-86 MSE MAGNUM CAMARO

Good luck on the search. Your in the right state at least. The last one I seen was about 10 years ago at a car show in IL. I'm in AZ where they made them. I have never seen one here.

You might think that, but I want the real thing. That wing is very functional, and by no means would be easy to repop. If you have ever seen one in person you would see what I am talking about. As for saying that this is something that some random dude built in his garage, or could build, simply goes back to the trend of people not giving these cars the respect they deserve. This is the equivalent to a saleen mustang of this era. I respect the people who made these cars, and their goal of raising the bar in their day. Awayways, any info will help. Even if its a random picture of one of these taken 10 years ago.

Aside from the Saleen mods improving the appearance of the base car, and actually being successfull, I can sort of understand that appeal.

Oh well, GLW-the search.

Re: WTB: 85-86 MSE MAGNUM CAMARO

Didn’t the MSE camaros come with a B&M supercharger and B&M Superjection (EFI) kit on it? It was one of the first aftermarket EFI kits if I remember correctly.

Re: WTB: 85-86 MSE MAGNUM CAMARO

There's a guy with a black one somewhere on Instagram but I'm not sure of his name. His looks similar to the one in your first pic so it may be him, I haven't looked in a while though.

Re: WTB: 85-86 MSE MAGNUM CAMARO

I didn't even know these existed. Besides the exterior where there any drivetrain differences? I assume it was an aftermarket upfit like SLP? Just when you think you know everything about 3rd gens.
